Knowing the shape of your face can help you a lot when it comes to choose your hairstyle and when doing your make up. So, pinpoint the shape of your face using some examples of celebrity face shapes.
A brief face shape guide is going to tell you that there are different face shapes namely: oval, rectangular (also known as oblong), round, square, heart shaped, triangular and diamond. But let’s look closer to all these face shapes using some celebrity face shapes for exemplifying.
The oval face is the one that is longer than wider. The celebrities that have an oval face are Cindy Crawford, Uma Thurman, Sharon Stone, Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Tyra Banks or Elle McPherson.
The round shaped face is as long as wide. Some celebrities that have such a face shape are: Drew Barrymore, Kate Winslet or Christina Ricci.
The rectangular face shape is long, and the jaws line is just about the same width as the cheekbones. Gwyneth Paltrow, Niki Taylor and Kristie Alley have such a face shape among the celebrities.
When the jaw line is square and the face is symmetrical in length and width – the face shape is square. Celebrities such as Isabella Rosselini, Demi Moore or Sandra Bullock have made the square face shape famous.
When the face is heart shaped- it really looks like a heart: it is wide at the cheekbone area and narrows down towards the jaw. Reese Witherspoon, Naomi Campbel, Juliette Binoche, Michelle Pfeifer and Claudia Shiffer all have a heart shaped face.
Next, in the face shape guide is the triangular face shape, which is exactly the opposite of the heart shaped face: the jaw is very wide, while the dimension of the cheekbones narrows down. Kathy Ireland has such a shape, which is an uncommon face shape.
Last but not least, the diamond face shape is very wide at the cheekbones and the forehead has equal dimensions with the jaw line.
As a conclusion, the face shape guide has shown you a great variety of face shapes. Each of these has advantages and disadvantages when it comes to hair styles and hair cuts.
What’s left for you to do is to measure the dimensions of your face and determine the shape of your face. Measure the dimension of your face in your cheekbone area, at the jaws and the forehead and then how long and how wide your face is. You will see also by comparing your face shape to the celebrity face shapes as well.
