A guide to visible proportions

Face Shape Analyzer: Understand Your Proportions

Your face shape is one way to describe visible proportions. Explore hairstyles and glasses through their lines, fit, and the choices that matter to you.

Photo analysis is not available in this preview. Start with the guide to describing your proportions.

01 / Start

How to Get Started

Start with a straight-on photo for your own comparison, decide whether you want to explore proportions, hairstyles, or glasses, then read each description as a possibility with limits. No photo is requested here.

Keep hair clear of the landmarks you want to compare. Head angle, expression, lighting, and image quality can change what you can see; you do not need a particular phone.

If a Photo Does Not Show Enough Detail

If a landmark is hidden, use a clearer photo for your own comparison. Do not fill in a measurement that the image cannot show.

Explore the manual face shape guide.

02 / Observe

What a Face Shape Description Can Tell You

Compare visible face length, the forehead, the cheek area, and the lower contour. These are relative observations, not biometric measurements.

For example, one image may suggest the following while part of the outline remains covered:

Observed

Cheeks appear wider than the jaw.

Possible interpretation

A diamond-like contour.

Not visible

The hairline is partly covered.

The description concerns only landmarks you can see. It does not reconstruct hidden details or create a three-dimensional model.

Your Preferences Are a Separate Input

A photo cannot tell us your preferred hair length, styling routine, or how a frame feels. You choose those priorities yourself.

Six Useful Shape Names—and Room for a Mix

Visible angles along the jaw.

You may notice traits from more than one description. Keep both observations when they help you compare an actual style choice.

What If Two Descriptions Fit?

Focus on the landmark that matters to the haircut or frame you are considering. You do not have to force a single label.

04 / Context

Why the Photo Can Change the Impression

A close portrait can change the apparent proportions of a face through perspective. Camera distance matters when you compare two images.

Head angle, expression, hair crossing the outline, lighting, and image quality can also change what is visible. Try comparing photos made under more similar conditions, without expecting an exact measurement.

Compare Conditions Before Comparing Labels

When two photos differ, note those conditions before deciding that the face itself looks different.

Prepare a useful comparison photo.

A shape name cannot choose the one right option for you. Frame fit needs an actual try-on, and a haircut result depends on your hair and routine.

06 / Questions

Questions About Face Shape Analysis

Can I fit more than one face shape?

Yes. A label can describe some visible features without describing every part of your face.

Does face shape decide which haircut or glasses I can wear?

No. Use it to compare visual effects alongside your preferences, hair, and frame fit.

Can I analyze a photo here now?

Not in this preview. You can explore the guides while photo analysis is being developed.
