Front-facing, hair back from your jaw. Your photo is analysed on your own device and never uploaded.
Reference
These are styling profiles, not scientific categories. Plenty of faces sit between two of them, which is why the result names the closest shape and flags when you’re near a boundary.
Slightly longer than it is wide, with a forehead a touch broader than the jaw and a softly rounded chin. It's the shape most cutting guides treat as the default.
The aim: Nothing needs correcting, so choose on hair texture and how much upkeep you want rather than on shape.
Width and length are close to equal, with full cheeks and a soft jawline. Reads younger than average, which is why so much advice tries to 'fix' it.
The aim: Draw the eye vertically. Length, height at the crown and off-centre partings lengthen; width at the cheeks does the opposite.
A strong, defined jaw with forehead, cheekbones and jaw at similar widths. Photographs extremely well — it's a common model face.
The aim: Soften the corners rather than hide them. Curves, texture and diagonal lines break up the straight edges of the jaw.
A wide forehead and cheekbones tapering to a narrow, often pointed chin. Frequently comes with a widow's peak.
The aim: Balance the top against the bottom — reduce visual width at the forehead, add fullness around the jaw.
Noticeably longer than it is wide, with a long straight cheek line and forehead, cheekbones and jaw at similar widths.
The aim: Interrupt the vertical line. A fringe shortens the face instantly; width at the sides does the rest.
Narrow forehead and narrow jaw with the widest point at the cheekbones. Angular and photographs sharply.
The aim: Add width where the face is narrow — forehead and jaw — so the cheekbones read as a highlight rather than the whole story.
Method
Most face shape quizzes ask you to judge your own jaw and forehead, which is exactly the thing people find hard to do. This reads 478 facial landmarks from your photo and compares four ratios — face length against width, cheekbones against jaw, forehead against cheekbones, and the angle of the jaw itself.
All of it happens inside your browser. The photo is never sent to a server, so there is nothing for us to store, and nothing to delete.
Once you know your shape, see the cuts that suit it or read the full guide for your shape. Eyes are measured separately — find your eye shape.
