Can You Tell These Face Shapes Apart?
Can You Tell These Face Shapes Apart starts with the outer line of the face, not with one feature in the middle of it. Telling them apart is a single difference: length, jaw corner, or which line is widest.
A quiz and a scan are both asking which outline is closest. The photo has to show the real outline. The picture above is the pin for this guide. The same page is the link on the pins that belong with it.

How to read the outline
If you searched for “tell face shapes apart”, stay with the contour. Name the shape only after you can see where the face is long and where it is wide.
If you cannot name the difference, the shapes are still mixed. The decision tree is short on purpose.
Widest feature, then length, then jaw. Three levels are enough.
Matching a jawline suggests square, round, or triangle, and then the rest of the face agrees or not. A wide jaw with a long face is not the same as a square.
When two names both seem possible
Oval is balanced, diamond is widest at the cheeks, and heart is widest at the forehead with a narrow chin. The widest point separates them.
The test is visual identification of all seven, then of your own face against them. Knowing the sheet makes your result easier to trust.
Common mistakes are guessing oval, using one feature, trusting a tilted photo, hiding the jaw, and ignoring length. Any one of them picks the wrong neighbor shape.
Photos change the shape you see when the camera is high, low, or close. The face did not change.
The angle did. Incorrect measuring usually puts the jaw line at the chin tip, or the width across the hair instead of the bone edge.
The lines have to hit the landmarks. A very close front camera stretches the nearer parts of the face, often the nose and the width.
That can push a reading toward round. Jawline shape is one edge.
Face shape is the whole outline, including forehead, cheeks, and length. A square jaw can sit on more than one face shape.
When you finish, you should be able to say which part of the face you used, not only the shape name. Use one still photo. A chin that drops or lifts between shots will not agree with itself about the jaw.
Take the photo straight
Use one photo, taken straight on, with the camera at eye level. Hair only needs to be clear of the hairline and the jaw. A tilt, a shadow on one cheek, or a chin that is lifted will change the outline before you have even started.
Look at the forehead, the cheeks, and the jaw as three widths. Then compare the length of the face with the width. That is the whole reading.

How do I use “The 7-Face Visual Identification Test”?
The test is visual identification of all seven, then of your own face against them. If two outlines both seem close, look again at the chin and the jaw corners. That is usually where they split.
How do I use “Don't Confuse Face Shape With Jawline Shape”?
Jawline shape is one edge. Check length against width before you compare two names. A strong jaw can still sit on a long face.
