 Knowing the shape of your face helps out in many decisions like which hairstyle would suit you and whether you should have long or short hair. This piece of information also comes in handy when you have to pick a pair of sunglasses and need to decide whether you should go for round, cat-eye or over-sized spectacles.

 Although many face shapes are easy to distinguish, there is actually a method you can follow to determine your face shape, and it’s not very difficult. If you think you have a heart or oval face shape, you should check out using this method if you’re guessing right.

 Remember face length plays an important role in determining the overall shape, but other parameters are just as important. These include the length of your forehead, cheekbones and jawline.

 So, let’s find out how to determine the shape of the face by looking at some easy steps. But first let’s look at why it is important to know your face form.

   There are 6 Basic Face Shapes:

  1. Heart;
  2. Diamond;
  3. Round;
  4. Oval;
  5. Oblong;
  6. Square.

     Why You Need to Determine Your Face Shape?

 Men need to know the profile of their face to determine how they should keep their beard. How much it should be trimmed and what should be its shape. Women are more in need of this kind of information to decide what kind of sunglasses or eyeglasses to wear.

 Large or over-sized sunglasses do not suit rectangular or oblong faces. There is no hard and fast rule on which face form is the most attractive. But usually oval-shaped faces are preferred both in males and females.

 Men look more attractive when they have a chiseled jawline, which is more defined. In females, rounded and diamond shaped faces look more beautiful. Any kind of hairstyle would normally go with these face forms, especially when it comes to long hair.

 If you have a strong jawline, you probably have a square profile. A strong jawline combined with a pointed chin indicates a diamond shape. All profiles are common in both men and women, but women mostly have round and oval shaped faces.

 This information comes in handy not just for common people but also for makeup artists and hair stylists. If they know the basics of face profiles, they are able to give valuable suggestions on what kind of overall look would suit a person depending on their face form.

     How to Determine the Shape of the Face?

 Whether your face shape is diamond, round, oval, oblong or heart, it can be determined using a simple and straightforward method.   You can use a measuring tape and a pen and paper to complete the steps.

   Here is the step-by-step guide to make the process easy for you:

     Step 1: Measure the Length of Your Face.

 The first step involves measuring your face length from the center of your hairline to the tip of your chin. For those who are bald or have undefined hairline, make a guess where the natural hairline would be located. Note down this measurement.

     Step 2: Measure Your Cheekbones and Jawline.

 This step is important, especially if you want to know the shape of your face for picking up a suitable hairstyle. Place the measuring tape across the outer corner of each eye to measure the length of your cheekbones. The length of the jawline can be calculated by measuring from the tip of your chin to the base of your ear and then multiplying this number by 2.

     Step 3: Measure Your Forehead.

 The forehead is the part between your eyebrows and hairline. Measure it using a measuring tape by keeping it along the widest part of the forehead. Write down this measurement for later use.

 Now that you have four measurements, it’s time to determine your face shape. If your face length is the largest and jawline is the smallest, your face shape is diamond. If, however, the cheekbones measure almost the same as your face length, then your shape is round. There is no need to concern yourself with the length of the jawline in this case.

 When the jawline as well as cheekbones and forehead are almost the same length, your shape is oblong, also known as rectangle. Face length in this case remains the largest of the measurements.

 Your shape is square if all measurements are more of less the same. When forehead length is more than the jawline and face length is more than the width of the cheekbones, your shape is oval. In some people, the jawline is more defined and the angle of the jaw is rounded or sharp. Less defined jawline usually has a soft angle, and this is characteristic of a round shape.

 If you have a pointed chin, your shape is most likely to be diamond. But it is a good idea to check all other measurements just to be sure. Pointed chin is also seen when you have a heart shape.

 Another face form is known as triangular, but it is less common. This kind of shape is characterized by larger jawline and cheekbones that measure larger than the forehead.

     Conclusion.

 Everyone has a different face shape; some have a heart shape, while others have an oval or round face shape. All shapes are beautiful, but it’s important to know what face shape you have in order to find the best pair of sunglasses or a hairstyle that suits you the most.

But if you’re not sure about it, you can use the step-by-step process discussed in this post on how to determine the shape of the face.

 Not many tools are required to complete this process and the result is usually very interesting. It can make your guess wrong or right depending on the length of certain parts of your face, including the forehead and the cheekbones.
