OvalYou
An oval face is 1.3 to 1.6 times as long as it is wide, widest at the cheekbones, with a jaw that tapers gently.

The short answer
What is my face shape?
Your face shape is set by three measurements: face length against cheekbone width, the relative widths of forehead, cheekbones and jaw, and the angle of your jawline. Most faces fall into one of seven shapes — oval, round, square, oblong, heart, diamond and triangle — and many sit between two.
Each measurement answers one question. The length-to-width ratio says whether your face reads long or compact; the three widths say where it is widest; the jawline decides how the lower face finishes. Once those three are pinned down, the decisions that depend on them — glasses frames, haircuts, brow shapes — stop being guesswork. And if your numbers land near a boundary, you are a blend of two shapes, which is just as common and just as workable.
How it works
Measured, not guessed
- Step 01Upload one selfie
It opens in your browser and stays there. Nothing is sent to a server, so there is nothing for us to keep — close the tab and the photo is gone.
- Step 02Four distances
Face length, forehead, cheekbone and jaw widths — the same four numbers a stylist takes with a tape, read from facial landmarks instead.
- Step 03A result you can check
One of seven shapes, a confidence score, and the actual ratios behind it — each one shown against the range that defines the shape, so you can verify every line.
The measurement points and the ratio bands come from one shared standard — read the measurement methodology used across every shape guide on this site.
The catalog
The seven face shapes
Same face, seven outlines. One sentence each on what sets it apart, so you can match your own reflection against them.
RoundYou
A round face is about as long as it is wide, widest at the cheekbones, with a soft, curved jawline.
SquareYou
A square face is about as long as it is wide, with forehead, cheekbones and jaw near-equal and an angular jawline.
OblongYou
An oblong face is at least 1.6 times as long as it is wide, with all three widths similar, so the face reads long.
HeartYou
A heart face is widest at the forehead and narrows to a pointed chin, often with a widow's peak.
DiamondYou
A diamond face is clearly widest at the cheekbones, with a narrow forehead and jaw and a pointed chin.
TriangleYou
A triangle face is widest at the jawline and narrowest at the forehead, with a strong, grounded lower face.

How to measure your face shape (calculator method)
No photo handy, or want to double-check the detector? A soft tape measure and a mirror settle it in four measurements. Keep the tape snug but not pressed in, and note each number before moving on.
- 1Face length
Center of the hairline straight down over the nose to the tip of the chin. If bangs cover it, follow the natural line where your hair grows.
- 2Forehead width
Across the widest part of the forehead, midway between your eyebrows and hairline, from one side to the other.
- 3Cheekbone width
From the sharpest point of one cheekbone to the other — just below the outer corner of each eye.
- 4Jaw width
Across the widest points of the jaw, about a thumb's width below each ear, following where the bone turns.
| Shape | Length : width | Widest point | Jawline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oval | 1.3 – 1.6 | Cheekbones | Gently tapered |
| Round | < 1.3 | Cheekbones | Soft, curved |
| Square | < 1.3 | Even widths | Angular |
| Oblong | ≥ 1.6 | Even widths | Varies |
| Heart | 1.3 – 1.6 | Forehead | Pointed chin |
| Diamond | 1.3 – 1.6 | Cheekbones | Narrow, pointed |
| Triangle | Any | Jaw | Wide, strong |
Divide face length by cheekbone width, then read across. Landing between two rows is normal — the detector tells you which side you lean.
Questions
Before you ask
What face shape do I have?
Upload one front-facing selfie above and you'll get one of seven shapes with a confidence score and the measurements behind it. Prefer to do it by hand? The four-measurement method is in the section above.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The analysis runs entirely in your browser — the photo is never uploaded, never stored, never used for training. If you save a result later, only the conclusion and the ratios are saved.
My bangs cover my forehead — does that matter?
A little. The hairline anchors the length measurement, so bangs lower the confidence score and we say so on the result. Pulling your hair back and retaking usually settles a close call.
How reliable is the result?
Every result comes with a confidence score and the actual ratios we measured, so you can check each one against your own reflection. The same photo always returns the same result, and near a boundary we show two candidates instead of forcing one.
Can I have two face shapes?
Yes — many faces sit between two. When your measurements land near a boundary we show both candidates with a mirror check for each, instead of forcing a single answer.
Do glasses affect the result?
No, keep them on. The measurements use your hairline, cheekbones, jaw and chin. A heavy beard is different — it can cover the jawline, which the men's version handles separately.
How do I determine my face shape without measuring?
Pull your hair back and look straight into a mirror. Ask three questions: which part of your face is widest — forehead, cheekbones or jaw? Does your jaw turn a corner or curve? Is your face clearly longer than it is wide? Read those three answers against the table above and you'll usually narrow it to one or two shapes; the detector settles which side you lean.
Does my face shape change with weight or age?
The category rarely changes, because it follows your bone structure — the ratios of forehead, cheekbones and jaw. Weight can change how wide the cheeks read and nudge a result that sits near a boundary, and jawlines soften gradually over the years, so retest after a big change. Both results were true when they were taken.
