Face Shape Calculator
Discover your face shape by measuring four key facial dimensions. Understanding your face shape helps you choose the most flattering hairstyles, glasses, and makeup techniques.
How It Works
Face Shape Determination Formula
Our calculator analyzes the ratios between your facial measurements to determine your face shape. The algorithm considers:
- Face Length to Width Ratio: Compares face length to the widest measurement (forehead, cheekbones, or jawline).
- Widest Feature: Identifies whether your forehead, cheekbones, or jawline is the widest part of your face.
- Feature Sharpness: Adjusts the determination based on whether your features are angular or rounded.
Formula Logic:
ratio = faceLength / max(foreheadWidth, cheekboneWidth, jawlineWidth)
widestFeature = argmax(foreheadWidth, cheekboneWidth, jawlineWidth)
if ratio > 1.5:
if widestFeature == cheekbones and sharpness == sharp:
faceShape = "Diamond"
else:
faceShape = "Oblong"
else if ratio < 1.1:
if sharpness == sharp:
faceShape = "Square"
else:
faceShape = "Round"
else:
if widestFeature == forehead:
faceShape = "Heart"
else if widestFeature == jawline:
faceShape = "Triangle"
else if widestFeature == cheekbones:
faceShape = "Oval" or "Diamond"
else:
faceShape = "Oval"
This is a simplified representation. The actual algorithm uses more nuanced thresholds and considers multiple factors simultaneously.
