Defining the shape of your face

It can be difficult to know what face shape you have but here are some ways to find out:

  2. What is the widest part of your face? (forehead, cheekbones, jaw, or everything is equal)

  3. What is your jaw shape? (round, pointy, square)

  4. How long is your face? (short, average, long)

  5. Do you have a widows peak? (yes, no)
