How to Determine Your Face Shape Step 1: What&#8217;s the widest part of your face? Forehead:\u00a0A wider forehead can be filed under the\u00a0oval\u00a0category, especially if its width &#8220;tapers toward the chin,&#8221; New York-based board-certified plastic surgeon\u00a0Norman Rowe\u00a0tells\u00a0Allure.

To do so, he notes &#8220;differences in symmetry or distances from one feature to the next.&#8221; Cheekbones:\u00a0&#8220;Face shapes that are widest at the cheekbones are a typically a\u00a0round\u00a0face shape,&#8221; Rowe says, but the length of your face also comes into play. With a round face shape, the measurement of width and length are basically equal. Jaw:\u00a0If your jaw is the widest part of your face, you have a\u00a0square\u00a0face shape. In this case, the forehead, cheeks, and jawline are almost equal in width,&#8221; Rowe adds.

Round:\u00a0Got a rounder jaw? They are often associated with a\u00a0round\u00a0face shape, Rowe notes, so if the length of your face is similar to the width, you can feel confident that you&#8217;re working with a round face. If the length is noticeably longer than your face is wide, it may be oval. Square:\u00a0&#8220;A strong jawline usually means a\u00a0square\u00a0face shape,&#8221; Barr says. If yours is angular, but your chin isn&#8217;t particularly pointy, this is very likely your shape. Pointy:\u00a0Consider your face\u00a0heart\u00a0shaped. &#8220;This face shape strongly tapers toward the chin,&#8221; Rowe adds about faces that noticeably narrow toward the bottom. Step 3: What&#8217;s the length of your face? Short:\u00a0All signs point toward the\u00a0round\u00a0face shape, as long as you&#8217;re not particularly angular at the jawline. Long:\u00a0If you haven&#8217;t already figured it out from the hints in steps one and two, you probably have an\u00a0oval\u00a0face, Barr says. No matter what your face shape, there are hairstyles, glasses, hats, glasses, and makeup techniques that bring out the best in each.
