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

    * forehead is wider than the chin
    * prominent cheekbones
    * face gracefully tapers to a narrow oval chin

Round

    * 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

    * forehead, cheekbones and jawline all about the same width
    * squared jawline is the most obvious feature

Heart

similar to oval but the chin tapers to a point.

Diamond

    * 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

    * 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?

    * 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).
