Your Face... Your Jewelry Part 2 (Know What Face Shape You Have Got)

Now we need to do some calculation to determine your face shape.

1. Determining Face Shape Using a Measuring Tape
The measurements of the followings will be needed:

• The Forehead
• The Cheeks 
• The Jaw

Forehead: Measure across the forehead at the widest point

Cheeks: Measure the widest length across the cheekbone just a little past the outer corner of your eyes over your nose bridge to the other cheekbone

Jaw: Measure the jawline at its widest point usually an inch below the bottom of the ear to your chin. Multiply the result by two to get the jaw-to-jaw length.

Now, measure the length of your face, place the tape just under the eyes and measure from ear to ear to get the horizontal length of your face.

To get the horizontal length of your face, place the tape at the top of your forehead at your hairline and measure to your chin.

It is high time we determined your face shape now that you have all the measurement needed.

Oblong Faces are longer than they are wide. They have fairly similar measurements in terms of cheek, forehead, and jawline 

Heart Faces are defined by upside down shape of the face which results from having a relatively pointy chin and medium to wide forehead and cheek measurement. They are just a little longer than they are wide at the cheeks

Square Faces are about as long as they are wide. Cheek and  length are within an inch or two of  each other.

Oval Faces are somewhat similar to an inverted egg shape. Forehead is slightly wider than the jawline with a gently rounded chin.

Round Faces are also about as wide as they are long like square face but they have relatively small forehead and small curved jawline.

Triangular Faces are the opposite of heart-shaped faces with long, wide, square jawlines and relatively thin foreheads.

Diamond Faces are wider at the cheekbones. They are somewhat longer than they are wide with pointed chin.They have cheek measurements greater than forehead and jaw measurements.

Now, you most probably know where you belong in the face shape categories. Please refer to the image in the previous post to see an outline of the different face shapes.
