Finding Your Face Shape

Hey everyone! Today, we're talking about face shape. I know what you're thinking, "What does face shape have to do with fashion?" Well, a lot actually! Your face shape defines what shape glasses you should be wearing, how you should style your hair, and even what kind of hats will look best on you, so, without further ado, here's how you find your face shape.

Materials:
measuring tape
pen
paper

1. Measure across your forehead at the widest point and write it down.
2. Measure the distance between your cheekbones at the widest point and write it down.
3. Measure your jawline at the widest point and write it down.
4. Measure the distance between your ears by putting the ruller just under your eyes and write it down.
5. Measure from your hairline to your chin and write it down.
6. Find the ratio of #4:#5 it should either be 1:1.5, 1:1, or 1:2

1. Heart: 1>2>3
The best way to go is long on top and shorter on the sides. If you do decide to go for a shorter style, ask for a square haircut to try and balance the face shape.

2. Square: 1=2=3 ratio is 1:1 or 1:1.5 (angular features and jawline)
The best hair cut for this face shape is one that is softer on the sides to round out the face and short cropped to accentuate your features.

3. Round: 1=2=3 ratio is 1:1 (soft features and jawline)
It’s important to choose a style that can be worn with some height. Try to avoid sharp fringes as they accentuate the roundedness of the face shape. 

Sunglasses: Rectangular, square, and wrap

4. Diamond: 2>1=3
Try choosing a haircut with a swept fringe and layers on top to add volume. Avoid going too sharp around the edges as this will make the ears stick out.

5. Oblong: ratio is 1:2 (sometimes between 1.5 and 2)
For your haircut it's all about balance. Don't mind the sides too short or the top too long. You want to decrease the apparent length of your face. Just keep that in mind.


Sunglasses: Wrap, square, wayfarer, and rectangle

6. Oval: ratio is exactly 1:1.5
Congrats! You have the perfect face shape. Basically anything looks good on you. The only thing you have too avoid is full length fringe on your hair because it can make your face look rounder.

Sunglasses: Anything!
