Face shapes, decoded

A clear map of the six classic contours—then run the free AI face shape detector to see which silhouette fits you best.

How face shape works

Face shape is a silhouette story: forehead width, cheekbone width, jaw width, and overall length-to-width. Most faces sit between two types—so a confidence ranking beats a single hard label. Use this guide to learn the language, then confirm with a photo.

The six classic face shapes

Oval

oval face shape

Length-to-width ratio around 4:3, soft rounded lines, and balanced forehead and jaw—the versatile golden-ratio face shape.

Heart

heart shaped face

Wide forehead and temples, full cheekbones, and a jaw that tapers to a pointed chin—an elegant inverted-triangle silhouette.

Round

round face

Length and width nearly equal, full rounded cheeks and jaw, and a soft chin—youthful and approachable.

Square

square face

Forehead, cheekbones, and jaw width are similar, with defined jaw angles and strong bone structure—bold, model-like presence.

Oblong

oblong face shape

Face noticeably longer than wide, often with a longer mid-face or chin—elegant, refined, and intellectual.

Diamond

diamond face shape

Narrow temples, widest at the cheekbones, and a fine pointed chin—strong bone structure with striking, angular elegance.
