How to find your face shape in 30 seconds

  1. Pull your hair completely off your face.
  2. Look in a mirror straight on.
  3. Compare three widths: forehead, cheekbones, jaw.
  4. Compare face length (hairline to chin) with face width.
  5. Check whether your jawline is angular or rounded.

Then click the shape below that matches your proportions to read the full guide — including how to be sure (not just guess), and what hairstyles, glasses, and necklines actually flatter.
