Title: Cool Ways To Know Your Face Shape Post by: Ryan Martis on March 01, 2009, 04:55:29 AM Knowing your face shape
To Find out your basic Face Shape * start by pulling your hair back from your face, and with no makeup on, look closely in the mirror. * The features for each shape to look for are: Oval (http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l336/glamgalz/funzug/imgs/informative/face_shape_ways_01.jpg) * forehead is wider than the chin * prominent cheekbones * face gracefully tapers to a narrow oval chin Round (http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l336/glamgalz/funzug/imgs/informative/face_shape_ways_03.jpg) * face is almost as wide as it is long * face is widest at the cheeks Long (http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l336/glamgalz/funzug/imgs/informative/face_shape_ways_05.jpg) * forehead, cheekbones and jawline are all about the same width * can tend to have a prominent chin * has an elongated appearance Square (http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l336/glamgalz/funzug/imgs/informative/face_shape_ways_06.jpg) * forehead, cheekbones and jawline all about the same width * squared jawline is the most obvious feature Heart (http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l336/glamgalz/funzug/imgs/informative/face_shape_ways_08.jpg) similar to oval but the chin tapers to a point. Diamond (http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l336/glamgalz/funzug/imgs/informative/face_shape_ways_01.jpg) * not as common as the other face shapes * typically the face is highly angular * the forehead is somewhat short * the face is widest at the temples Still not sure? - A simple test (http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l336/glamgalz/funzug/imgs/informative/face_shape_ways_07.jpg) * Measure the length of your face with a ruler. (In this case the total length of the face is 8). * Divide the total length by 3. (In this case 8 divided by 3 is 2.67 or 2 2/3). * Measure the length from the bottom of your nose to the bottom of your chin. (in this case 2 1/3), * If the last number (the 2 1/3 number) is larger than the first number (the 2 2/3) than chances are you have a long face. * If the last number is less than the first number than chances are you have a round face. * If the last number is equal to the first number than chances are you have an oval face So now you know your face shape - but now what? (http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l336/glamgalz/funzug/imgs/informative/face_shape_ways_04.jpg) * The same rules apply to putting on makeup as putting on a dress. The goal (for most) is have an hour glass fiqure. * The stripes on the left will make someone look wider (if that's what they need). * The stripes on the right make a person look thinner (if that's what they need). |
