How it works
How to Find Your Face Shape
Wondering how to find my face shape without tracing a mirror? The face shape calculator takes four lengths from your photo or your tape measure, turns them into ratios and finds the closest of seven shapes.
Add a Photo or Four Numbers
Drop in a selfie, paste one or use your camera. No photo to hand? Open Enter measurements and type four numbers in centimetres or inches.
Four Lines, Read for You
From a photo, the face shape analyzer places 478 facial landmarks in your browser, levels your head and reads forehead width, cheekbone width, jaw width and face length.
Your Shape, With Its Fit
Both routes compare you with the same seven shapes. You see your shape, a fit percentage and a short styling note, plus the next closest shape when your ratios sit between two.
What it measures
How to Measure Face Shape: Four Lengths, Three Ratios
Any face shape finder depends on the same four lengths. Take them with a soft tape measure at a mirror, or let the photo mode read them. The ratios between them decide your shape.
Face Length
Hairline to chin, straight down the middle of your face. In a photo, the hairline is estimated from the top of the forehead.
Forehead Width
Across the forehead at its widest, just above the brows. Keep the tape level and your hair back.
Cheekbone Width
The widest line across your cheekbones, from one outer edge to the other. Photo results count this length as 100 and show the other three against it.
Jaw Width
Across the angle of the jaw, from one corner to the other. A photo also reads how sharply the jaw turns there, while typed numbers carry the width alone.
Three Ratios
Length, forehead and jaw, each divided by the cheekbone width. Ratios ignore units, so centimetres and inches give the same answer.
Fit Percentage
How close your ratios sit to your shape's reference. It is a similarity, not a probability, and a lower fit puts you nearer another shape.
Face shape chart
Seven Face Shapes and Their Typical Proportions
This face shape chart lists the different face shapes the calculator can return, with the typical tape-measured proportions of each and the cheekbones counted as 1. Your shape is the one your ratios sit closest to. These references are a styling convention, not a medical standard, and no shape is the one to aim for.
Oval Face Shape
The middle of the chart: length about 1.32 times the cheekbones, forehead 0.95 and jaw 0.88 of their width. A face where no width or length stands out lands here.
Round Face Shape
Shorter than average, about 1.20 times the cheekbones, with forehead 0.95 and jaw 0.87. From a photo, a softly curved jaw corner also leans a face round.
Square Face Shape
About as short as round, at 1.24 times the cheekbones, but with a wide jaw near 0.96 and forehead near 0.94. From a photo, a sharper jaw corner also leans a face square.
Heart Face Shape
A wide forehead near 1.01 times the cheekbones over a narrow jaw near 0.81, with length about 1.33. Some charts call this an inverted triangle.
Diamond Face Shape
The cheekbones stand out: forehead near 0.90 and jaw near 0.81 of their width, with length about 1.33.
Oblong Face Shape
Clearly longer than wide, about 1.48 times the cheekbones, with average widths. Some charts split this into oblong and rectangle; this tool does not.
Triangle Face Shape
The jaw is the wide end: jaw near 0.96 and forehead near 0.88 of the cheekbone width, length about 1.24. Some charts call this a pear shape, the reverse of a heart.
Between Two Shapes
Many faces sit between two of these. Your result then names the next closest shape with its own fit, and the shape it names always fits best.
Is one shape better? No. A shape describes proportions so you can choose a cut or a frame. The calculator ranks no shape above another, and these ratios do not measure attractiveness.
Accuracy and limits
How Accurate Is a Face Shape Calculator?
A face shape calculator is only as accurate as the four numbers it receives. The references never change, but a photo or a tape adds small errors, and a face between two shapes can land on the neighbouring one.
Same Numbers, Same Shape
What it does well
The same photo or the same four numbers always return the same shape and fit. Fixed references decide, so no opinion drifts between runs.
What it can't tell you
One answer across every photo. Two careful pictures can differ slightly, which matters most when you sit between two shapes.
Photo or Tape Measure
What it does well
A photo saves you the tape, and a leaning head is levelled first. Typed numbers skip the camera, so its angle plays no part.
What it can't tell you
An exact hairline from a photo: it is estimated from the top of the forehead. With a tape, a curved or slanted reading shifts the ratios too.
Widths, Not Contours
What it does well
Four lengths and their ratios, which is what it takes to determine face shape as most charts describe it: length against width, and which end is wider.
What it can't tell you
Chin shape, cheek fullness or how soft your features look. Typed numbers also miss the jaw corner, which only a photo reads.
What the Shape Means
What it does well
A plain description of your proportions, useful when you choose haircuts, glasses and necklines.
What it can't tell you
Whether your face is attractive, or anything medical. This face shape analysis is a styling aid, not a clinical measurement.
We publish no accuracy percentage, because no validated study stands behind one. If two photos disagree, take a third at eye level or check it with a tape.
Photo tips
Photo Tips for a Reliable Face Shape
From a photo, the face shape calculator measures what the camera sees, so the picture decides the ratios. Six habits keep your hairline, cheekbones and jaw in view.
Camera at Eye Level
Hold the phone level with your eyes, an arm and a half away. Held higher, it shrinks the jaw and stretches the forehead; held lower, the reverse.
Face the Lens Squarely
Keep your nose centred and both ears equally visible. A turned head hides part of one side, so every width reads narrower.
Soft Light From the Front
Face a window. Side light makes one half of the face look narrower, and overhead light leaves shadows along the jaw and cheekbones.
Neutral Face, Mouth Closed
A smile lifts the cheeks and an open mouth adds length, so relax your face and keep your lips together.
Hair Back, Glasses Off
Hair over the forehead or temples hides the width that separates a heart from an oval. Tuck it behind your ears and take your glasses off.
Sharp, With No Filters
Rest the phone or use a timer so the edges stay crisp, and turn off beauty mode: filters move the landmarks.
Using your result
What to Do With Your Face Shape
There is nothing to fix, and no shape is a goal. Your result helps most at the hairdresser and the optician, where the aim is balance.
Pick a Haircut
Add height on a round face, width on an oblong one and soft layers around a square jaw. Your result ends with a short styling note for your shape.
Choose Your Frames
Picking glasses for face shape comes down to contrast: angular frames on a round face, softer curves on a square one, and frames no wider than your face.
Place Blush and Contour
Makeup follows the same idea: a little shade where the face is widest, a little light where you want more length or width.
Try Necklines and Collars
A V-neck draws the eye down on a round or square face; crew necks add width to an oblong one.
Know Your Angles
Turning a little or lifting your chin changes which width the camera sees. Use that in everyday pictures, and stay straight-on when you measure.
See It on Your Own Face
The optional full report takes your shape and a few short answers, then shows six hairstyle previews on your photo, with frames and a 12-season palette.
