Oblong face

A face clearly longer than it is wide, with fairly straight sides from forehead to jaw.

A diagram drawn by EveryFaceShape.

Also: rectangular face, long face

An oblong face is long and narrow, with the forehead, cheekbones and jaw close in width, so the sides run fairly straight. When the jaw is angular, some guides call it rectangular. Stylists who want to shorten the look suggest deep frames with strong top rims, fuller sideburns and a beard kept short at the chin but fuller at the sides. Like every shape, it is simply one of the ways faces are built, and it is found everywhere.
