How to analyze face shape from a selfie

By TQ Tech

Quick answer

Use front-facing light, keep your head level, pull hair off your forehead, and crop tightly on your face. Then use a face shape detector app to measure proportions automatically.

Step-by-step

1. Stand or sit facing a window or soft light — avoid harsh shadows on one side.
2. Hold the phone at eye level, arm’s length away.
3. Relax your expression and look straight at the lens.
4. Open MyFaceShape, capture or upload, and crop so your chin and hairline are inside the frame.
5. Review your face shape, scores, and styling tips.

Tips for better AI analysis

• Remove glasses if they hide your brow or cheek line (optional but helps).
• Avoid filters — they change perceived proportions.
• Retry with a second photo if the first has motion blur.
