What flatters your shape
What’s my face shape?
Your face shape is the quiet rule behind so many beauty choices — the glasses that suit you, the most flattering haircut, and where to place blush and contour. The six common shapes are oval, round, square, heart, oblong and diamond. Answer five quick questions about your proportions and this quiz names your shape, then gives styling tips that play to its strengths.
This is a fun styling guide based on your answers, not an exact measurement. Many faces are a blend of two shapes — pull your hair back and look in a mirror to sanity-check the result.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure my face shape?
Pull your hair back and look straight into a mirror. Compare your forehead, cheekbone and jaw widths and your face length. Whichever area is widest — and whether your jaw is soft or angular — points to your shape. This quiz asks those questions for you.
What’s the most versatile face shape?
Oval is often called the most balanced, because most hairstyles and glasses suit it. But every shape has styles that flatter it — it’s about balance, not “better” or “worse”.
Why does face shape matter for glasses and haircuts?
The aim is usually to balance your proportions — for example, adding width to a long face or softening a strong jaw. Frames and cuts that contrast gently with your shape tend to look most harmonious.
Can my face shape change?
The bone structure stays largely the same, but weight changes and ageing can soften or sharpen how it reads. Hair and brows also change the apparent shape a lot.
