Face shape can determine a lot about what will or won’t work for an individual. From hairstyle to the cut of a shirt, your face shape can guide you in the right direction. The most concise “how to determine face shape” I found came from http://www.visual-makeover.com/face.htm. So here’s the gist of it:
- Oval Face – Length equal to one and a half times width.
- Round Face – Your face is as wide as it is long. This may vary a little but generally the measurement is close.
- Oblong – Longer than it is wide.
- Square – your face is about as wide as it is long.
- Heart – Narrow at jaw line, wide at cheekbones/and or forehead.
- Diamond – Widest at cheekbones, narrow forehead and jaw line of approximately equal widths.
The chart below seemed a good guide for determining your face-shape as well.
If this all seems a little daunting, Leta will do it for you when you meet with her for a consultation. Not only will she relay your face shape, but she will also give you individualized information on how to put your look together to accentuate the most attractive features of your face – including types of clothing that would best suite you.
