Style Tips
--
This tool helps you find your likely face shape. It uses four measurements. You can use Metric (cm) or Imperial (in).
How to measure
Use a soft tape measure or a ruler. Take each measure gently. Record values in centimetres or inches.
Face length
Measure from the hairline at the center of the forehead to the tip of the chin.
Forehead width
Measure across the widest part of the forehead. This is usually just above the eyebrows.
Cheekbone width
Measure across the upper cheeks at the widest point. Run the tape from one cheekbone to the other.
Jawline width
Measure across the lower jaw. Take the distance from the left jaw angle to the right jaw angle.

- Jawline width: 5 cm
Result

What does a square face mean?
A square face has similar width and length. The jaw is usually strong and angular. The cheekbones, forehead, and jawline are close in size.
Style advice for a square face
Choose styles that soften the angles. Rounder frames for glasses work well. Hairstyles with waves or layers add curve. Avoid very blunt cuts that match the jawline exactly.
Limitations
This is a simple tool. It gives a likely face shape based on measurements. It does not replace a professional style consultation. Results can vary with measurement method and hairline shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this measurement accurate?
It gives a good estimate if measurements are taken correctly. Small errors can change the result. Measure twice for confidence.
Can face shape change with age?
Face features can change over time. Weight, posture, and hairline shifts can affect how your face looks.
What if my measurements are mixed?
Many people have mixed features. The calculator will pick the closest match. Use style tips from the shapes you relate to most.
Should I follow all style tips for a square face?
No. Try different styles and choose what you like. Use tips as a starting point, not a rule.
