There are no wrong answers — the finder simply scores each shape and shows your top match with tailored tips.

How It Works and the Calculation Formula

Each face shape starts at zero points. Your answers add points: forehead width adds up to 2 points, cheekbone width adds up to 2 points, jaw width adds up to 2 points, and face length adds up to 2 points. The shape with the highest total wins. If two shapes tie, the result goes to the first one in the list.

Formula: Shape score = Forehead points + Cheekbone points + Jaw points + Length points (maximum 8 points). Result = shape with the highest score.

Example

Input	Top score	Result
Narrow forehead, widest cheekbones, pointed jaw, long face	Diamond: 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 6	Diamond
Same-width forehead, balanced cheekbones, rounded jaw, average length	Oval: 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 6	Oval

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure my face for this quiz?

Pull your hair back and look straight into a mirror. Compare the widths of your forehead, cheekbones and jaw by eye, or hold a ruler or the edge of your phone up to each area. Then compare your face length with its width. The quiz works on the closest match, so exact numbers are not needed.

What is the most common face shape?

Oval is often described as the most common and the most versatile face shape, with balanced proportions and a gently rounded jawline. Every shape is common and flattering, though — the finder simply tells you which set of proportions matches you.

Can my face shape change over time?

Your bone structure stays the same, but weight changes, aging and even hairstyles can shift how your proportions read. Retake the quiz if your face looks noticeably different — your best makeup and hair tips may change with it.

What face shape suits bangs?

It depends on the bang style. Soft, side-swept bangs flatter heart and square shapes by softening the forehead and jaw. Blunt, straight-across bangs shorten oblong faces nicely. Round faces usually do best with curtain or wispy bangs rather than heavy straight ones.

Is the face shape finder accurate?

The finder scores the six classic face-shape proportions from your answers, which matches how stylists classify faces by eye. It is a beauty guide, not a medical measurement — if you fall between two shapes, borrow tips from both.
