What is the shape of my face?
It is sometimes difficult to recognize the true shape of your face when you try to highlight it. There are very specific characteristics to each to be able to navigate.
Why know the shape of my face?
Head shapes are especially useful in the field of beauty and aesthetics. Knowing your morphology allows you to find tips to highlight your face thanks to small techniques and tricks.
Morphcoiffure requires, for example, knowing the shape of a head to find the perfect cut. You can round the corners for a square face, or give more character to a rather round face. These rules are also valid in the field of make-up. Some women have learned to highlight certain more or less prominent parts of their face by playing with shadows and colors.
In morphopsychology, it has also been established that certain types of facies correspond to defined character traits. A round face, for example, is considered jovial, while a square face exudes a more assertive character.
The different shapes of faces
There are up to nine different face shapes that each have their own and rather recognizable characteristics.
Round face
We often tend to confuse the round face and the oval face. A round face is very recognizable because the shape is very pronounced. The length and width are almost equal, and the implantation of the hair at the level of the forehead is quite round. We can also recognize this type of face by rather plump cheeks and a fairly short chin.
Diamond face
A diamond face shape is also called a diamond face. In this case, the forehead and the jaw are rather narrow while the cheekbones are wide, as if the face formed two inverted triangles. The features can be soft or angular.
heart face
The morphology of this head shape is quite recognizable, we can see a face with a broad forehead which gradually narrows to a chin which takes on a fairly narrow shape. The cheekbones are generally not very prominent.
Triangle face
A triangular face shape also has a very recognizable morphology which is the complete opposite of the inverted triangle. This time, the forehead is narrow, and the bottom of the face is plumper. We observe often protruding jaws which reveal a rather imposing chin.
Oval face
This type of face is often considered to have a perfect shape, because the proportions are rather balanced. The facial contours are sharp, and the forehead, jawline, and chin are fairly even in size. It is a face shape that is said to be very feminine.
Rectangular face
This head shape often has very angular features and a long face. We can observe a rather wide and high forehead and rather prominent jaws. The rectangular face is very similar to the square face, but the length is more imposing.
Inverted triangle face
The inverted triangle face is the opposite of the triangle face. Indeed, the top of the face is wider than the bottom. It is characterized by a broad forehead and a small jaw and chin. The triangular face with the tip down has the particularity of fairly flat cheekbones.
Square face
This face shape is also very recognizable thanks to its strong features that are often associated with an assertive character. The width of the face is sometimes more marked than the length. The jaws are rather angular and prominent, and the forehead is broad.
