How to Determine Your Face Shape

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Lauren, and I'm here to tell you, how to determine your face shape. You're going to want to start, by going into a bathroom with very good lighting, having a pen and paper, and also a tape measure. You're actually going to measure your face. You are going to start with your cheekbones, and you are going to place the tape measure about your temple, a little bit below your temple, and go straight across to the other side, to get your cheekbones. Once you find the number, you're going to write that number down, and put it on that piece of paper. You are then going to do your jawline, so you're going to go across your jaw, and measure your jawline, and write that number down. You will then do your forehead, which you'll go from hairline to hairline, right across the middle of the forehead, in order to see how wide it is. After you're done with that, and you've written all those numbers down, you will then go to the middle of your hairline, straight down your face, and do the length of what your head actually is. After you have all of those numbers, you will then decide which face shape, you actually have. An oval face shape, has the length, is equal to 1 1/2 times your width, so then your round would be, your length equals your width. Usually, you are for oval, you're a lot longer, than what you are wide. Round, you're pretty symmetrical. You're about the same length and the same width. Oblong, your length is larger than your width. Square, your length equals your width. However, you're more angular in shape. Usually, you tend to have a bit more of a pronounced jawline, so that way, you're a little bit more angular, and a little bit more pronounced. Heart shaped, you have a narrow jaw, with wide cheek bones, and/or forehead. Diamond shape in your face, is widest at your cheekbones, so after you measure and you have all of your numbers of your measurements, it will be easy for you to determine which one you are, by following these simple rules, and by seeing what your measurements are actually telling you, and that is how to determine your face shape."
