Face Shapes....How to determine your's

Fashions · 01-10-2008

Our appearance is what makes us unique as individuals. Even though we are unique, certain characteristics such as jaw placement and forehead shape determines face shape. There are six different face shapes: Oval face shape, Heart-Shaped face shape, Pear-Shaped face shape, Square face shape, Round face shape, and Long face shape.

1. Oval Face Shape: This is considered the perfect face shape because it is symmetrical. An oval face shape will have wider cheekbones and then narrow down to the jaw line and chin. Oval face shape will also be narrow up towards the forehead.

2. Heart-Shaped Face Shape: A Heart-Shaped face is very unique. It will be broader at the forehead and then taper into a small, narrow chin. This face shape is also affectionately called, Triangle Shape.

3. Pear-Shaped Face Shape: A Pear-Shapes face will be wider at the cheeks and jaw but have a narrow forehead.

4. Square Face Shape: A Square face is very common. It will be equally wide at the forehead, cheeks, and jaw line.

5. Round Face Shape: Round face shapes are fuller and will usually look younger than they are. It will have a round forehead and a round chin, with wide, full cheeks.

6. Long Face Shape: A Long face shape is similar to an oval face shape but has higher cheek bones and a high forehead.

Determining your face shape will help you when applying makeup to the most effective and beautiful way.
