What Is My Face Shape?
Your face shape is set by four facial proportions: the width of your forehead, cheekbones and jaw, and the length of your face compared with them. The fastest way to find yours is to upload a selfie to the detector above, which measures all four in seconds.
The 4 deciding factors
- Forehead width: how broad your face is across the temples.
- Cheekbone width: the distance between the outer points of your cheekbones.
- Jaw width: how far apart your jaw corners sit, just below the ears.
- Face length: from the middle of your hairline to the tip of your chin.
Quick mirror check
Still asking yourself “what face shape do I have?” but not ready to upload a photo? Pull your hair back, face a mirror and check:
- Is your face clearly longer than it is wide, or about the same?
- Is your jaw angular with clear corners, or soft and rounded?
- Which part is widest: your forehead, cheekbones or jaw?
- Does your chin come to a point, or is it broad and flat?
Match your answers to the 8 face shapes below, or follow our step-by-step guide to measuring your face.
How the Face Shape Detector Works
You do not need a measuring tape or a mirror. With our Face Shape Detector, the whole face shape test takes about ten seconds and four simple steps.
Add your photo
Upload a clear selfie or snap one with your phone or laptop camera. Live guides help you line up your face.
Crop to your face
Drag the corners so the frame covers your hairline to your chin, or use the full photo. We suggest a crop for you.
AI maps your face
A face mesh model maps your facial features with 478 landmarks and measures your forehead, cheekbones, jaw, chin and face length.

What the AI Face Shape Detector Actually Measures
Most online face shape quizzes ask you to guess. Ours measures. When you upload a photo, the Face Shape Detector runs Google’s MediaPipe Face Landmarker right inside your browser. It finds your face and places 478 three-dimensional points along your brows, cheekbones, jaw, chin and hairline area.
From those points, the facial analysis calculates the same face measurements a stylist would check with a tape measure, only faster and more consistently:
- Face length to width. How long your face is compared with the width across your cheekbones. This separates round and square from oval, oblong and rectangle.
- Forehead width. Measured at the temples and compared with your cheekbones. A wide forehead points toward heart, a narrow one toward diamond or triangle.
- Jaw width. The distance between your jaw corners. A wide jaw suggests square, rectangle or triangle.
- Chin shape. The angle at the tip of your chin tells soft, pointed and broad chins apart.
- Head position. The tool checks if your head is turned or tilted and lowers its confidence when the angle could skew the result.

Tips for the Most Accurate Face Shape Result
The AI is only as good as the photo you give it. These small steps make a big difference:
Face the camera straight on.
Keep your nose pointing at the lens and your eyes level. Turning your head even slightly can change the shape.
Hold the camera at eye level.
Shooting from below makes the jaw look wider. Shooting from above makes the forehead look bigger.
Pull your hair back.
The tool needs to see your hairline, temples and jaw corners.
Use soft, even light.
Face a window if you can. Harsh side light and deep shadows hide your outline.
Keep a neutral expression.
Big smiles widen the cheeks and change the jaw. Relax your face and close your mouth.
Take off glasses and hats.
Frames and brims cover key landmarks around the temples and forehead.
Stand back a little.
Phone cameras held very close stretch the nose and shrink the sides of the face. Arm’s length works well.
Why Knowing Your Face Shape Helps
Your face shape is a shortcut to better style decisions, from the best haircut for your face to the most flattering eyeglass frames. Once you know it, you can walk into a salon, an optician or a barber shop with a clear idea of what will flatter you.
Haircuts that work
Choose cuts that add length, width or softness where your face needs it, instead of guessing.
Glasses that fit
Pick frames that contrast with your outline, such as round frames for angular faces and angular frames for soft ones.
Better beard lines
Shape a beard to sharpen a soft jaw, add width to a narrow chin, or keep a long face from looking longer.
Smarter makeup
Place contour, blush and highlight to balance your features rather than following a one-size-fits-all chart.
AI Face Shape Test vs. Measuring by Hand
Measuring your face by hand works, but it is slow and easy to get wrong. Here is how the options compare.
| Method | AI face shape detector | Tape measure at home | Stylist opinion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time needed | About 10 seconds | 5 to 10 minutes | A salon appointment |
| Points measured | 478 facial landmarks | 4 tape measurements | Visual judgment |
| Handles head tilt | Yes, with warnings | No | Partly |
| Shows close matches | Scores for all 8 shapes | No | Sometimes |
| Cost | Free | Free | Varies |
What Our Users Say
People use the detector before haircuts, glasses shopping and beard trims. Here is what some of them told us.
I always thought I had a round face, but the tool said oval with round as a close second. My stylist agreed, and I finally got layers that suit me.
The camera guide told me to turn my head a little and hold still. The result came back as square, and the round frames it suggested look much better than my old ones.
I use it with clients who are unsure about contouring. Seeing the scores for every shape helps me explain why we place blush and highlight where we do.
It flagged my face as oblong and told me to keep the sides fuller and the chin short. Simple advice, but it fixed the long look I hated.
Fast and private. I liked that it showed the landmarks on my photo, so I could see exactly what it measured.
Handy for new customers who do not know what to ask for. The style picks are a good starting point for a conversation.
Your Privacy and How Accurate the Results Are
We built this tool with privacy in mind. The face mesh model downloads to your browser and runs there, so the landmark mapping never needs a server. The AI precision check is off by default. If you turn it on, a small, cropped copy of your face is sent over an encrypted connection to our AI provider for a second opinion. It is analyzed once and is not stored by us or used to train AI models. Leave it off to keep everything on your device.
On accuracy, we want to be honest. Face shape is not a medical measurement, and even experienced stylists disagree on borderline faces. Lighting, camera distance, hair and expression all play a part. That is why we show a confidence score and your scores for every shape. If two shapes are close, read both guides. The best style choices often borrow from each.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about face shapes and how our AI face shape detector works.
How does the AI face shape detector work?
It uses a face mesh model to place 478 landmarks on your face, then measures the ratios between your forehead, cheekbones, jaw, chin and face length. This face shape analysis compares those ratios with the typical proportions of eight face shapes. An optional AI precision check reviews the photo as well, and the two results are combined.
Is this face shape finder free?
Yes. The tool is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many photos you can try.
Do you store my photos?
No. Landmark mapping runs in your browser. If the AI precision check is on, a small cropped copy is sent for a one-time analysis and is not saved. Read our privacy policy for details.
How accurate is an AI face shape test?
With a clear, front-facing photo, the detector is consistent and usually matches what a trained stylist would say. Accuracy drops with tilted heads, harsh shadows, hair covering the face or very wide-angle selfies. The confidence score tells you how sure the tool is.
What are the 8 face shapes?
Oval, round, square, heart, triangle, diamond, oblong and rectangle. Each is defined by how the widths of your forehead, cheekbones and jaw compare, plus how long your face is.
Why did I get two close results?
Many faces blend two shapes, such as oval and oblong or round and square. The detector shows a score for every shape so you can see this. Style advice for both shapes can work for you.
Can I use the camera instead of uploading?
Yes. Tap Take Photo to open your camera. The live guide checks your distance, position and head angle, then tells you when to take the photo.
Does it work with a beard or glasses?
A beard is fine because the face mesh follows your underlying jaw, though a very full beard can make the jaw look wider. Glasses can hide temple landmarks, so remove them if you can.
Can my face shape change?
Your bone structure stays the same, but weight changes, ageing and muscle tone can soften or sharpen your outline over time. It is worth retesting every few years.
Which face shape is the most attractive?
None. Every face shape has its own strengths. Knowing yours simply helps you choose styles that bring out your best features.
Find the Styles That Suit Your Face
Your face shape is one of the most useful things to know when choosing a haircut, glasses or beard style. Our AI face shape detector works as a quick, private face shape finder that measures your face instead of guessing, and it shows any close second shape too.
