The 7 face shapes, explained
Every face fits one of seven proportion profiles — or sits between two of them. Tap any shape for its full styling guide.
Oval
The balanced all-rounder
Face length is about 1.3–1.5× the cheekbone width.
Oval face guide →Round
Soft curves and full cheeks
Face length and cheekbone width are almost equal (ratio under ~1.2).
Round face guide →Square
Strong jaw, bold angles
Forehead, cheekbones, and jaw are nearly the same width.
Square face guide →Heart
Wide forehead, delicate chin
Forehead is the widest zone (or ties with cheekbones).
Heart face guide →Diamond
Striking cheekbones, rare geometry
Cheekbones are clearly the widest part of the face.
Diamond face guide →Oblong
Elegant length, refined lines
Face length is at least ~1.5× the cheekbone width.
Oblong face guide →Triangle
Grounded jaw, distinctive presence
Jawline is the widest measurement of the face.
Triangle face guide →Compare all shapes

Prefer a tape measure? Take four measurements — face length, forehead width, cheekbone width, and jaw width — then compare: cheekbones widest with a ratio near 1.4 suggests oval; length ≈ width with a soft jaw is round; even widths with a sharp jaw is square; a wide forehead over a pointed chin is heart; standout cheekbones over a narrow forehead and jaw is diamond; a ratio above 1.5 is oblong; and a jaw wider than the forehead is triangle. Our step-by-step measuring guide covers technique and the mistakes that skew results — or skip the math and let the detector measure for you.
Why knowing your face shape matters
Face shape is the starting point stylists, barbers, and opticians actually use: it decides whether a bob will flatter or box you in, whether round or rectangular frames balance your features, and where a beard should carry weight. Once you know your shape, every “best hairstyles for round faces” or “glasses for a square face” article suddenly applies to you — no more guessing which advice fits. It’s also just fun: compare results with friends and find out who’s really the diamond of the group.
Face shape FAQs
Quick answers to the questions people ask most about face shapes and this detector.
What is my face shape?
The fastest way to find out is to upload a clear, front-facing photo to the free detector above. It measures your face length, forehead, cheekbone, and jaw widths from 468 facial landmarks and matches the proportions against the seven standard shapes: oval, round, square, heart, diamond, oblong, and triangle.
How does the face shape detector work?
The tool runs Google’s MediaPipe face-landmark model directly in your browser. It locates 468 points on your face, corrects for head tilt, measures four key dimensions (face length, forehead width, cheekbone width, jaw width) plus jawline angle, and scores the proportions against each of the seven face shape profiles. You see your best match with a confidence breakdown for every shape.
Is this face shape test really free and private?
Yes on both counts. There is no sign-up, no watermark, and no upload: the AI model is downloaded to your device and your photo is analysed locally in your browser. The image never touches our servers, so nobody — including us — ever sees it.
What are the 7 face shapes?
The seven shapes used by stylists and opticians are: oval (balanced, cheekbones widest), round (length ≈ width, soft jaw), square (even widths, angular jaw), heart (wide forehead, pointed chin), diamond (prominent cheekbones, narrow forehead and jaw), oblong (noticeably longer than wide), and triangle (jaw wider than forehead).
How do I figure out my face shape without a tool?
Pull your hair back, face a mirror straight on, and measure four things: face length (hairline to chin), forehead width, cheekbone width, and jaw width. Compare which is widest and the ratio of length to width — our guide on measuring your face shape walks through it step by step. The AI detector simply does the same geometry, faster and more precisely.
Which face shape is most attractive?
There is no “best” face shape — attractiveness studies point to symmetry, proportion, and grooming far more than outline category. Every shape has iconic celebrity examples. Knowing your shape isn’t about ranking; it’s about choosing hairstyles, glasses, and beard styles that work with your proportions.
What is the rarest face shape?
Diamond is generally considered the rarest, followed by triangle. Oval and round are the most common. If the detector gives you diamond or triangle, you have a genuinely uncommon bone structure.
Does the tool work for both men and women?
Yes. Face shape classification is based on bone-structure proportions, which use the same seven categories regardless of gender. The style recommendations on each result include dedicated sections for women’s hairstyles, men’s hairstyles, glasses, and beard styles.
Can my face shape change over time?
Your underlying bone structure is fixed in adulthood, but perceived shape can shift with weight changes, ageing (volume loss in the cheeks), facial hair, and hairstyle. If you’re between two categories, re-test with a current photo and read both shape guides — borderline results are normal.
What photo works best for accurate results?
Use a well-lit, front-facing photo with your hair pulled back off your face, a neutral expression, and the camera at eye level. Avoid tilted angles, heavy shadows, glasses, and wide-angle selfie distortion (hold the phone at arm’s length or use the rear camera).
