The six face shapes
| Shape | How it measures | Haircuts that usually work | Glasses that usually work |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oval | A bit longer than wide, jaw slightly narrower than cheekbones | Almost anything | Most frames |
| Round | About as wide as long, soft angles | Height on top, long layers | Rectangular, angular |
| Square | Jaw close to cheekbone width, shorter face | Soft layers, side parts | Round, oval |
| Heart | Forehead wider than jaw, narrow chin | Chin-length cuts, side fringe | Bottom-heavy, round |
| Diamond | Cheekbones widest, narrow forehead and jaw | Side-swept fringe, volume at chin | Oval, cat-eye |
| Oblong | Clearly longer than wide, straight sides | Fringes, width at the sides | Tall, wide frames |
How to get the right result
Pull your hair off your forehead and away from your jaw, take off glasses, and face the camera straight on at eye level. The detector needs to see the real edges of your face.
