You come across so many
articles that tell what makeup to do for your face shape or what hairstyles to
go for different face shapes. But they help only if you actually do know your
real face shape. So, how do you actually determine your face shape?
Follow this easy guide:
1)
Measure across the top of your
cheekbones.
-
Place the measurement tape starting from
below the outer corner of your eyes taking it till the other outer corner of
your eyes. Make sure the tape is resting on the bridge of your nose and not
just standing straight on it. Note down the measurement.
2)
Measure your jaw line.
-
Measure your jaw line. Note the
measurement and multiply it by two.
3)
Measure your forehead.
-
Put the measurement tape across your forehead
at the widest region, usually at the middle of the eyebrows. Note the
measurement.
4)
Measure the length.
-
Put the measurement tape at the middle
of your forehead and running it down till the tip of your chin. Note the
measurement.
Now, use the following
guideline for determining your face shape:
Oval Face - The
length is equal to one and a half times width.
Round Face - Your
face is as wide as it is long, give or take a small amount.
Oblong Face - Your
face is longer than it is wide.
Heart Shaped Face - Your
face is narrow at jaw line, wide at cheekbones and/or forehead.
Square Face - Your
face is about as wide as it is long, give or take a small amount, but your
jawline is sharper than that of a round face.
Diamond
Face - Your
face is widest at the cheekbones, with narrow forehead and jaw line of
approximately equal widths.
So, what is your face shape?
P.S.: I have no idea for who
invented this brilliant idea. But hats off to that person. I labelled this face
for a little help.
