Oval Face Shape
A longer outline with a gradual taper from the cheeks toward the chin.
Compared with oblong, an oval outline has less pronounced length and a gradual taper toward the chin.
Try face-framing layers or softly rectangular glasses.

UNDERSTAND YOUR FACE
What is my face shape?
Upload a clear, front-facing photo to find your closest face shape, see your facial proportions, and explore haircut and glasses ideas. A face shape is a useful shorthand for the relationship between your face length, upper-face width, cheekbones and jaw. You do not have to fit a perfect outline. Many faces sit between categories, and a different photo can make the same face look longer, wider or more angular.
How to find your face shape from a photo
01
Choose a clear portrait
Use a straight-on photo with a relaxed expression. Keep your hair away from the sides of your face, remove glasses if possible, and avoid strong shadows.
02
Let the detector measure
The test finds facial landmarks in your browser, then compares relative lengths and widths. Your image is not sent to a photo-analysis server.
03
Explore your result
Read your closest shape and the measurements behind it. Use the styling notes as ideas to try, rather than rules you need to follow.
Face Shape Chart: Compare 7 Common Face Shapes
These outlines illustrate broad styling categories. They are not ideal proportions, diagnostic thresholds or a ranking of how attractive a face is.
Round Face Shape
A relatively short, broad outline with a narrower lower face and softer transitions.
Round and square faces can both look short and broad; a round outline has softer transitions around the lower face.
Try a little height on top or frames with gentle angles.
Square Face Shape
A relatively short outline with a broad jaw close in width to the cheeks.
A broader jaw distinguishes a square profile from a round one. A longer, similarly angular outline is often called rectangular.
Try soft layers or curved frames to contrast with the jaw.
Heart Face Shape
An upper face that is wider than the jaw, tapering toward a narrower chin.
A heart profile is broader above and narrower at the chin; a diamond profile is widest around the cheekbones.
Try chin-length movement or lightweight, rounded frames.
Oblong / Long Face Shape
A noticeably elongated outline, with length more prominent than width.
Length is more noticeable than in an oval face. Rectangle face shape is a related styling term for a long outline with a squarer jaw.
Try side volume, a fringe or frames with deeper lenses.
Diamond Face Shape
Prominent cheek width with a narrower upper face and lower jaw.
Cheekbones stand out relative to both the upper face and jaw, unlike a heart profile with a broader upper face.
Try soft volume at the temples or oval frames.
Triangle Face Shape
A broader lower face, with the jaw at least as wide as the upper-face region.
A triangle profile is broader at the jaw; a heart profile tapers in the opposite direction.
Try texture at the crown or frames with a defined upper edge.
Face Shapes for Men and Women
The same seven categories describe face shapes for men and women. You do not need to select a gender: the test compares visible proportions, not gender-specific ideals. Pull hair away from your face and remember that a beard can hide the jaw outline.
For an oval face shape, men looking for a short cut might start with a textured crop, while women exploring longer hairstyles might compare face-framing layers. Either option can suit anyone who likes it. Hair texture, length and the finish you want matter alongside face shape.
How to Choose Glasses for Your Face Shape
Looking for the best glasses for your face shape? Start with the outline you want to emphasize or soften, then check the fit. These ideas also apply to sunglasses; bridge fit, frame width and comfort should guide the final choice.
| Face shape | Frames to try | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
| Oval | Oval or softly rectangular frames | Compare curved and angular styles; start with a frame width close to your face width. |
| Round | Rectangular or softly angular frames | Straighter edges add contrast to a softer outline. Avoid a fit that presses on your cheeks. |
| Square | Round or oval frames | Curved edges soften the visual transition around a broad jaw. |
| Heart | Thin, rounded frames | A lighter upper rim adds less visual weight above the eyes. |
| Oblong / long | Frames with deeper lenses | More vertical lens depth can balance a long outline better than a very shallow frame. |
| Diamond | Oval or gently curved frames | Soft curves complement prominent cheekbones. Check cheek clearance when you smile. |
| Triangle | Browline frames or a defined upper rim | Detail near the temples draws attention toward the upper face. |
Haircuts and Hairstyles for Your Face Shape
Use your result to decide where you want height, width or movement. These haircut ideas are starting points to discuss with a stylist, who can also account for your hair texture, density and daily routine.
| Face shape | Short hair | Longer hair or bangs | Styling focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oval | A textured crop with neat sides | Face-framing layers or a light curtain fringe | Heavy bangs can hide the forehead; compare a lighter fringe if you want to show more of your proportions. |
| Round | A textured top with a little height | Longer layers or a side-swept fringe | Place volume above or below the cheeks rather than at their widest point. |
| Square | A textured crop or side part | Soft layers ending below the jaw | Choose softer edges for contrast, or a structured cut if you want to emphasize the jaw. |
| Heart | A lightly textured top | Chin-length waves or a side-swept fringe | Movement near the lower face can balance a broader upper face. |
| Oblong / long | A crop with modest height and some side volume | Soft waves or a fuller fringe | Extra height can make the outline look longer; compare width at the sides instead. |
| Diamond | Texture around the temples | Layers below the cheeks or a curtain fringe | Avoid placing all the volume at the cheekbones if you want a more even silhouette. |
| Triangle | Texture at the temples and crown | Layers that move past the jaw | Keep the ends from bunching beside the jaw if you want less emphasis there. |
How this face shape calculator works
The detector uses a locally hosted MediaPipe Face Landmarker model to locate points on your photo. We compare the upper-face-to-chin distance with the outer face width, then compare upper-face and jaw widths with cheek width. The closest profile is selected from seven shape categories using our advanced facial analysis engine.
Distances are calculated in image pixels so a portrait and a landscape image do not stretch the measurements. The upper landmark is on the visible facial mesh: it does not locate your hairline. There is no universal boundary between face shapes, and this classifier has not been independently validated for accuracy. It reports a best-fit styling label, not a probability or a clinical assessment.
Detector documentation ↗How to Measure Your Face Shape at Home
- Prepare your view. Face a mirror with your head level and hair pulled back. Use a relaxed expression.
- Compare the widths. Look at the widest parts of your forehead, cheekbones and jaw. Note which area is broadest.
- Compare length and width. Check the distance from your hairline to your chin against the width across your cheeks. A noticeably longer outline may suggest oval or oblong characteristics.
- Check the lower outline. Notice whether the jaw stays broad or tapers toward the chin, then compare the face shape chart. A mirror or tape measure uses different reference points from this photo test, so the measurements will not match exactly.
A better photo makes a better estimate
- Keep the camera at eye level and your chin neutral. Turning your face makes one side look narrower.
- Step back from a wide-angle selfie camera. A close lens can exaggerate the nose and change the apparent outline.
- Use soft, even light and a relaxed mouth. Strong shadows, smiling and an open jaw can move the detected landmarks.
- Pull hair away from the face. A fringe, beard or glasses can hide the outline and reduce the reliability of the estimate.

Face Shape Detector FAQ
How do I know what face shape I have?
Start with a clear photo facing the camera. This face shape finder compares your face length, upper-face width, cheeks and jaw to suggest the closest of seven shapes. Compare the result with the face shape chart below; your outline may share features with more than one category.
How can I measure my face shape at home?
Face a mirror with your hair pulled back. Compare your forehead, cheekbones and jaw at their widest points, then compare face length with width. Note whether your chin tapers or your jaw stays broad. Manual measurements start from different points than this photo tool, so the ratios may differ.
Are oblong and rectangular face shapes the same?
The terms often overlap in styling guides: both describe a longer face. Rectangular usually adds a more angular, squared jaw, while oblong describes length more generally. This test includes an oblong category, not a separate rectangular result.
Is this a face shape filter or a photo analyzer?
This is a photo analyzer. It measures a still photo and shows a face shape estimate with optional measurement lines. It does not reshape your face or apply a live social-media filter.
Which glasses suit my face shape?
Use your shape as a starting point: angular frames can contrast with a round outline, while curved frames can soften a square jaw. Then check frame width, bridge fit and comfort. The glasses guide below gives ideas for all seven shapes; this tool does not offer virtual try-on.
Is this face shape detector free?
Yes. Upload a photo, see your face shape and read the full measurement breakdown for free. No account or payment is required.
How do I know if my face is oval or oblong?
Both are longer than they are wide. An oblong profile has a more pronounced length, while an oval profile usually has a gentler taper. This tool compares visible facial proportions; a borderline result can change with framing and head angle.
What is the difference between a round and a square face?
Both can look relatively short and wide. Square profiles typically have a broader jaw relative to the cheeks, while round profiles usually have a softer, narrower lower outline. Our photo-based estimate cannot capture every detail of jaw curvature.
Does this face shape test work for men and women?
Yes. The same shape rules are applied to every photo. You do not need to select a gender, and the tool does not infer your ethnicity or identity.
How accurate is an AI face shape detector?
It is a photo-based estimate, and we do not claim a validated accuracy percentage. Lighting, head angle, camera distance, hair and facial expression can all affect the result. Compare similar straight-on photos if the label surprises you.
Can I have more than one face shape?
Yes. The categories overlap and are styling conventions rather than strict biological types. Your result names the closest profile in this test, but you may recognize features of a neighboring shape too.
Is there a best face shape?
There is no best face shape. These categories describe an outline, not beauty or personal worth. Use the result to explore styles you enjoy, not to judge your appearance.
Why did my face shape change in another photo?
The tool measures the face as it appears in each photo. A closer lens, raised chin, smile or partial hair coverage can change those proportions without your underlying face having changed.
Are my photos uploaded or kept?
No. This test runs locally in your browser and does not upload your image or retain your result. You can clear the photo at any time. The detector files download from RadiantSnaps when you begin.
