Face shape
The overall outline of a face seen from the front, judged from its length and the widths of the forehead, cheekbones and jaw.
Also: face type
Face shape is the outline a face makes from hairline to chin. Stylists, barbers and opticians usually sort faces into seven or eight shapes: oval, round, square, heart, diamond, oblong and triangle, sometimes with a rectangle as well. The labels are a working shorthand, not a science. Most faces sit between two shapes, faces change with age and weight, and the same face can read differently with a new haircut or beard. No shape is better than another; the shapes only help people talk about balance and proportion.
