The six face shapes, explained
Oval and oblong profiles are longer than wide; oblong is the more elongated category. Round and square profiles have closer length and width, with a softer or more angular jaw outline. Heart profiles narrow toward the chin from a broader upper face. Diamond profiles are widest around the cheekbones. These are broad styling categories, and many faces share features with two shapes.
How the face shape calculator works
The detector compares four ratios with six authored shape profiles: visible length to cheekbone width, upper-face width to cheekbones, jaw width to cheekbones, and lower-jaw width to cheekbones. A close second match is shown instead of pretending every face has one exact category. The top mesh point is a visible facial landmark, not the true hairline, so these photo ratios differ from tape-measure definitions.
Use your face shape for hairstyles and glasses
Start with the outline you want to emphasize or soften. A face shape result helps narrow your options, but hair texture, preferred length, frame fit and daily maintenance matter too. Follow the hairstyle finder for a practical shortlist or read the glasses guide. The optional AI report adds photo-specific styling context beyond a category label.
Frequently asked questions
Can I find my face shape without an app?
Yes. This face shape detector runs in your browser. Upload a clear front-facing photo with hair away from the cheek and jaw outline.
What if I match two face shapes?
That is common. Read both styling profiles and compare the measured proportions. Match shares express similarity to our templates, not a probability of anatomical truth.
Does face shape change with a different photo?
Head tilt, close camera perspective, hair and expression change the visible outline. Retake a neutral eye-level photo before treating a boundary result as a firm label.
