MyFaceShapeHow to find your face shape
Your face shape describes the overall outline of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline. Knowing it helps you pick hairstyles, glasses, and grooming choices that balance your features instead of fighting them.
Quick answer
The fastest way is to use a face shape detector app: take a front-facing selfie, let AI measure your proportions, and review the shape label with confidence and measurements. You can also estimate manually with a mirror and a few reference points.
What you need
- A well-lit, front-facing photo (or a mirror)
- Hair pulled back so your hairline and jaw are visible
- A neutral expression — no wide smile or head tilt
Step-by-step: manual method
- Outline your face. Trace the outer edge of your hairline, temples, cheekbones, jaw, and chin on a photo or mirror.
- Compare widths. Note whether your forehead, cheekbones, or jaw are widest.
- Check length vs width. Longer faces often read as oblong; similar length and width suggest round or square.
- Match a category. Compare your pattern to the seven face shapes.
Common mistakes
- Angling the camera down or up — this distorts jaw and forehead width
- Leaving hair over the forehead — hides the true hairline
- Confusing face shape with bone structure details (e.g. sharp jaw vs square shape)
