How to determine your face shape.

Figuring out your face shape can help in MANY different ways: 
1) Applying makeup
2) Finding the style of glasses/sunglasses that will best suit you
3) Figuring out the most complementary eyebrow solution/shape 
4) Best haircut/hairstyle 

Here is a breakdown of the most common face shapes:

OVAL: Face is more long than wide, narrow but prominent cheekbones, face gradually tapers towards chin, generally symmetrical.
SQUARE: Face has strong features, as wide as it is long, wider jaw, square chin.
ROUND: Face is as wide as it is long, rounded features (forehead and chin), wider cheekbones.
HEART: Length of face is a little longer than wide, wider forehead tapering to a pointed chin, hairline is pointy in the middle and rounded on either side.
OBLONG: Face is more long than wide, outline roughly resembles a tall rectangle with rounded corners, may have prominent chin. 
TRIANGLE: Face is a little longer than wide, broader jawline, smaller forehead 
DIAMOND: Face is a little longer than wide, tapered hairline, pointed jawline, widest at temples/cheekbones. 

So how to figure out your face shape? One way is to stand in front of a mirror, pull your hair back and trace the outline of your face with a bar of soap onto the mirror. A second way is to find a photo of yourself and draw the outline of your face onto the picture.
