Your Face Shape Based on Facial Proportions
Your Face Shape Based on Facial Proportions starts with the outer line of the face, not with one feature in the middle of it. Proportions decide the shape.
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 “face shape from proportions”, stay with the contour. Name the shape only after you can see where the face is long and where it is wide.
Similar length and width lean round or square. Extra length leans oval or oblong.
The widest line splits the rest. Look at the set as a chart and find the contour closest to your own front view.
Do not pick the one you hope for. This quiz question is whether the cheeks are the widest part.
When two names both seem possible
If they are, diamond is the shape to test. If they are not, move on.
An outline alone can suggest the shape because the shape is the outline. Inner features are a distraction.
Try naming it, then check the widths. A visual chart puts the seven types at the same size so width and length are easy to compare.
Find your widest point on the chart. Following arrows is just an order: widest point, then length, then the jaw.
The path ends at one of seven shapes. Choosing length and width is the first split.
Close measurements lean round or square. A longer face leans oval or oblong.
A flowchart asks the widest point, then the length, then the jaw. Each answer removes shapes.
You land on one. Facial geometry means which simple shape follows the outer points.
The match is the shape that hits the jaw and the widest point. Starting at the forehead means comparing it with the jaw before you name anything.
Wider on top is a different path from wider below.
A shadow on one cheek moves where the width appears to sit. Even light keeps the outline honest. Decide which area is widest before you say a shape name. The widest point is what starts the name.
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 “Find Your Face Type With This Visual Chart”?
A visual chart puts the seven types at the same size so width and length are easy to compare. Use one still photo. A chin that drops or lifts between shots will not agree with itself about the jaw.
How do I use “Face Shape Quiz: Start With Your Forehead”?
Starting at the forehead means comparing it with the jaw before you name anything. Hold the phone at eye level. A camera above your eyes makes the forehead look wider than it is.
