THE FACE SHAPE GUIDE
The square face shape.
A defined jaw and a balanced width. Here’s how to recognize it — and a few ideas to make it your own.
Explore your proportionsWHAT TO LOOK FOR
Three helpful clues.
- Forehead and jaw appear similar in width.
- The jaw corners look more defined.
- The sides of the face are relatively straight.
These are descriptive patterns, not strict rules. Your face can share features with another shape.
ILLUSTRATION ONLY
Proportions, in perspective.
Our outline is an illustration, not a measured face. Compare your features in a mirror or use the private photo tool.
HAIRSTYLES
Work with your texture and taste.
Try movement around the temples, a textured fringe or longer soft layers. You can also embrace your jawline with a clean, structured cut.
Your hair density, natural texture and time for styling matter as much as the outline of your face. Bring an example you like to your stylist.
GLASSES & EYEWEAR
A good fit comes first.
Round and oval frames can soften the overall outline. Thin frames give a lighter effect; bolder frames emphasize structure.
Look straight ahead when trying frames. They should sit evenly, stay comfortable at the nose and temples, and suit your vision needs.
