Figure Out Your Face Shape
In order to find the most flattering frames, you’ll need to know your face shape. There are five main types of face shapes:
Round: Your cheekbones and face have similar measurements. These features measure longer than your forehead. A round face also features a soft jawline.
Square: Squares have similar measurements all around .The jawline is typically sharp.
Heart: Heart-shaped people have long faces and slightly less long cheekbones and foreheads. The jawline is short and the chin is pointed.
Triangular: Triangular-shaped beauties have a long jawline and comparatively small foreheads and cheekbones. The face can range from very long to very short.
Oval: This type is defined by a face that is longer than it is wide — the face is longer than the cheekbones are wide. This beauty’s forehead is also larger than her rounded jawline.
If you have a tape measure, you can measure different parts of your face to identify which areas of your face are larger than others. Knowing this will allow you to correctly match your face shape with the descriptions above.
First, measure your forehead by pulling the tape measure from the arch of your eyebrow to the top of your opposing eyebrow’s arch.
Next, measure your cheekbones by pulling the measuring tape taut against the middle of your face. The tape should be horizontal to your face and touch the top of your cheeks.
To measure the jawline, pull the tape across the widest part of your face, which should be about one inch below your ears.
Finally, measure the length of your face, from the tip of your forehead to your chin.
When you’re done recording all of these measurements, compare them to see how the different areas of your face compare in size and length.
