Your face shape is the overall outline of your face, described by how its length compares with its width and how the widths of your forehead, cheekbones and jaw compare with each other. Stylists and makeup artists usually sort faces into seven shapes: oval, round, square, heart, diamond, oblong and triangle.
Knowing yours is genuinely useful — it's the starting point for choosing a haircut, glasses, a beard style or where to put contour. The problem is that judging it in a mirror is surprisingly hard, because we're used to seeing our own faces and tend to focus on individual features.
This free face shape detector measures the proportions that define face shape directly from a photo, tells you which of the seven shapes you're closest to, and gives you hairstyle, glasses and makeup suggestions for it.
When you upload a front-facing photo, the detector runs Google's MediaPipe Face Mesh in your browser — your photo isn't uploaded — and places 478 landmarks on your face. From those it takes five measurements:
| Measurement | Between |
|---|---|
| Face length | The top of your forehead and the bottom of your chin |
| Face width | Your left and right cheekbones |
| Forehead width | Your left and right temples |
| Jaw width | Your left and right jaw angles |
| Chin angle | The angle formed at your chin by lines from each jaw angle |
It then compares them:
The result shows your face shape, a confidence level and the reasoning behind it. Face length is measured from the top of the forehead area the model detects rather than your hairline, so the ratios can differ slightly from what you'd get with a tape measure.
An oval face is noticeably longer than it is wide, with a forehead and jaw of similar width and a softly rounded chin. It's often called the most balanced face shape because almost any hairstyle or frame suits it.
A round face is about as wide as it is long, with full cheeks and a soft, curved jaw and chin.
A square face is roughly as wide as it is long, with a strong, angular jaw and a forehead and jaw of similar width.
A heart-shaped face is widest at the forehead and narrows to a smaller, often pointed chin.
A diamond face is widest at the cheekbones, with a narrower forehead and jaw and an angular outline.
An oblong face is clearly longer than it is wide, with fairly straight sides.
A triangle face is widest at the jaw and narrows toward the forehead.
You can also find your face shape with a soft tape measure and a mirror:
Then compare: if length is clearly the largest measurement, you're oval or oblong; if length and cheekbone width are close, you're round or square; if your forehead is widest, you're heart-shaped; if your cheekbones are widest with a narrower forehead and jaw, you're diamond; if your jaw is widest, you're triangle. The detector does the same comparison with more precise points.
Your bone structure sets your basic face shape, but the soft tissue over it changes:
Upload a straight-on photo with your hair pulled back, and this detector measures your face length, cheekbone width, forehead width, jaw width and chin angle to tell you whether your face is oval, round, square, heart, diamond, oblong or triangle.
Compare four measurements: forehead width, cheekbone width, jaw width and face length. A face clearly longer than it is wide is oval or oblong; one about as wide as it is long is round or square; widest at the forehead is heart; widest at the cheekbones is diamond; widest at the jaw is triangle.
The seven face shapes are oval, round, square, heart, diamond, oblong (also called rectangle) and triangle (also called pear).
Oval is usually described as the most common and most balanced face shape. In practice, many people sit between two shapes, such as oval and oblong or round and square.
No face shape is objectively the most attractive. Oval faces are often called the "ideal" because they suit the widest range of styles, and angular square faces are often associated with masculinity, but attractive faces come in every shape.
Face shape tests use different measurements and thresholds, and many faces sit close to the boundary between two shapes. Hair, expression and camera angle also change the result. Use a photo with your hair pulled back and your head level.
It can change how your face shape looks. Losing fat from the cheeks and jaw can make a round face look more oval or square. Your bone structure stays the same.
Not in any meaningful way for most people. Swelling after the procedure changes how your face looks for a few days, but it doesn't change your bone structure.
