GET OUT THE TAPE MEASURE:
While there are lots of suggestions on how to figure out your shape, from outlining your face on a mirror with lipstick to draping it with a towel and asking others to help you guess the shape, there is actually a scientific way to determine your face shape once and for all.

To find out the shape of your face measure it with a tape measure or ruler. You will take the following measurements.
1. Measure your face across the top of your cheekbones. Write down the measurement on a piece of paper.
2. Measure across your jaw line from the widest point to the widest point. Write down the measurement.
3. Measure across your forehead at the widest point. Generally the widest point will be somewhere about halfway between your eyebrows and your hairline. Write down the measurement.
4. Measure from the tip of your headline to the bottom of your chin.
If you are still not sure of the results, ask a friend that you trust to help you determine your shape. Or ask your stylist. Don't forget that everyone will have their own opinion. If you get mixed opinions ask several people until you see a trend.
Another way to find your shape is to study the faces of celebrities to compare your own look. Many celebrities are almost as famous for their face shape as their hair color, length and style.

FACE DIMENSIONS:
Listed below are the most common shapes besides round. It is possible that your face may not fit exactly into any one category and may be a combination of shapes.
Most people will fit into one of the major categories which include:
Oval Face - Length equal to one and a half times width. An oval face may change according to weight gain or loss and age. It is common for people who have a classic oval face to have small features.
Round Face - If you have a round face your face will be as wide as it is long. This may vary a little where your face is not quite as wide as it is long, but within 1/4 to 1/2 inches.
Long/Rectangular - Longer than it is wide.
Heart - Narrow at jaw line, wide at forehead and cheekbones.
Square - If you have a square shape your forehead, jaw line and cheekbones are almost equal in width.
Triangular - Wider forehead that narrows gradually to a slightly pointed or rounded chin.
Diamond - Wide cheeks, narrow forehead and jaw line. May have a pointed chin.
Pear - Wide chin with a narrow forehead.
