Simple Process
Take or choose a clear, front-facing photo in good lighting. Pull your hair back so your natural face outline is visible.
Our GPT-4o Vision AI examines your forehead width, cheekbone width, jawline, and face length to determine your unique face shape.
Instantly receive your face shape classification alongside personalized recommendations for hairstyles, eyewear frames, and makeup techniques.
Reference Guide
Compare the seven outlines below and find the one closest to your own. Each diagram marks the forehead, cheekbone, and jaw widths that define the shape.
Slightly longer than wide, with the forehead marginally wider than the jaw and a softly rounded chin.
The most balanced set of proportions — almost any hairstyle, frame, or makeup placement works without correction.
Oval face shape guideFace length and cheekbone width are close to equal, with full cheeks and a soft, curved jawline.
Styles that add vertical length — long layers, angular frames, contour down the sides — create definition.
Round face shape guideForehead, cheekbones, and jaw measure close to the same width, finishing in a strong, angular jawline.
Soften the corners with waves, rounded or oval frames, and blush swept high on the cheekbone.
Square face shape guideThe forehead is the widest point, narrowing through the cheekbones to a defined, pointed chin.
Add visual weight low — chin-length cuts, bottom-heavy or cat-eye frames, contour along the temples.
Heart face shape guideCheekbones are the widest point, with a narrow forehead and a narrow chin above and below them.
Widen the forehead and jaw with textured fringe, oval or rimless frames, and softened cheek contour.
Diamond face shape guideNoticeably longer than wide, holding a fairly even width from forehead through cheekbones to jaw.
Break up the length with a fringe, horizontal volume at the sides, and deep or wide frames.
Oblong face shape guideA narrow forehead widening steadily to the cheeks and a full jawline — the inverse of a heart face.
Build volume above the eyeline with crown height, top-heavy frames, and highlight across the forehead.
Pear face shape guideNot sure which is yours?

No photo needed
Prefer to work it out yourself? Four measurements are all you need. Use a soft tailor's tape in front of a mirror, or hold a ruler up to a straight-on photo of yourself — proportions are what matter, so any consistent unit works.
Measure across the widest part of your forehead, roughly halfway between your eyebrows and your hairline.
Measure from the outer corner of one eye, across the top of the cheekbones, to the outer corner of the other eye.
Measure from the corner of your jaw below one ear to the corner below the other — the widest point of the jaw, not the chin.
Measure straight down the centre of your face, from the middle of your hairline to the bottom of your chin.
Compare the three widths against each other first, then check them against your face length. Whichever row below matches your numbers most closely is your face shape.
| Face shape | Widest point | Length vs. width | Jawline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oval | Cheekbones | Length is about 1.5× the width | Softly rounded, slightly narrower than the forehead |
| Round | Cheekbones | Length and width are close to equal | Curved with no defined corners |
| Square | Even across all three | Length and width are close to equal | Sharp, angular corners |
| Heart | Forehead | Length is greater than the width | Narrow, tapering to a pointed chin |
| Diamond | Cheekbones | Length is greater than the width | Narrow, with a pointed chin |
| Oblong | Even across all three | Length clearly exceeds the width | Softly squared, similar width to the forehead |
| Pear | Jawline | Length is greater than the width | The widest part of the face |
Plenty of faces sit between two rows — a heart with a softer chin, or a square that is a little long for its width. If yours does, run the photo through the detector and compare its answer with your measurements. Where the two agree, you can be confident.
Why Face Shape Matters
Your face shape is the single most important factor in determining which hairstyles, glasses frames, and makeup techniques will genuinely flatter you. Research suggests hairstyle alone accounts for up to 74% of first impressions about a person's appearance.
Professional stylists, makeup artists, and opticians all start with face shape when making recommendations. Now you can access that same professional insight instantly, for free, from anywhere.

The right cut and length can dramatically balance your proportions. Whether you want to add length, width, or soften angles — knowing your shape makes the decision clear.
Frame shapes work best when they contrast or complement your natural face shape. Round faces suit angular frames; square faces suit rounder ones.
Contouring, highlighting, and blush placement techniques differ for each face shape. The right techniques can sculpt and define your natural features beautifully.
FAQ
The quickest way is to upload a clear, front-facing photo to the free AI detector above. If you would rather not upload anything, measure your forehead width, cheekbone width, jawline width, and face length, then match those four numbers against the face shape chart on this page.
The seven recognised face shapes are oval, round, square, heart, diamond, oblong (also called long or rectangular), and pear (also called triangle). Each has distinct proportions that respond differently to hairstyles, eyewear, and makeup.
Diamond is generally considered the rarest, because it requires cheekbones that are clearly wider than both a narrow forehead and a narrow jaw at the same time. Oval is the most commonly reported, and square and round are both far more frequent than diamond.
Take a straight-on photo, open it on a screen, and hold a ruler or a strip of paper against the screen to compare your forehead, cheekbone, and jaw widths. Only the proportions matter, not the true sizes, so any consistent unit gives the right answer.
Yes — completely free, with no account, subscription, or payment required. Upload a photo and you get your result. There is no paid tier holding back the recommendations.
The tool uses GPT-4o Vision, one of the most capable multimodal models available. Accuracy is highest with a clear, front-facing photo taken in even lighting with hair pulled back. Every result carries a confidence level — high, medium, or low — so you can tell how firm the reading is.
Camera angle, lens distortion, lighting, hairline coverage, and facial expression all shift the outline a model sees. Many faces also sit genuinely between two shapes. If two tools disagree, measure manually and treat the shape your measurements support as the reliable answer.
You can, though accuracy may vary. For the most precise result, use a photo taken without glasses and with facial hair at its usual length. The AI reads the outline of your face, so anything covering the jawline or forehead can affect the reading.
Yes. The same seven shapes and the same measurements apply regardless of gender — only the styling recommendations differ. The detector returns hairstyle, eyewear, and grooming guidance appropriate to the shape it identifies.
Yes. Your photo is transmitted over HTTPS, analysed, and stored for up to 30 days to help us improve accuracy before being permanently deleted. We never publish your photo or use it for advertising. See the Privacy Policy for full detail.
