Determining Your Face Shape
Every person is an individual in tastes and preferences.
However, this individuality is not limited to our minds and emotions.
It extends to physical appearance, especially face shape.
This plays an important role when it comes to cosmetics and appearance.
Before you choose a specific style or color scheme, know your face shape.
This will help with choosing the ideal hair style and makeup methods that will compliment your natural beauty! The Setting When checking your face shape, always do so in a well lit room.
A bathroom is ideal because most include decent lighting and a mirror.
Any dark lighting or otherwise odd illuminations (such as candles) should be removed.
This can create shadows that might make determining your face shape impossible.
Make sure you get an accurate result by choosing the ideal setting.
Preparation Before you begin, have the proper tools with you.
Pull your hair back using a pony tail holder or face clips.
Even if you normally leave some of your lovely locks dangling around your face make sure they are pulled up and away so they do not hinder the view of your face shape.
Also wear a shirt that offers a low cut so you can easily identify neckline and the chest.
You may opt for no shirt at all, but if you do so make sure no one is looking! A larger mirror is preferable, because you will need a little bit of space.
You should not have to lean forward or get close to the mirror to see your head and upper body well.
If you do have trouble, try a full length mirror in a bedroom if one is available.
This is important for an accurate face shape determination.
Finally, it is time to figure out your face shape! You might want to bring a pencil and paper with you and jot down notes in case you are uncertain.
First, view the outline of your entire face and decide what shape it most closely represents.
Then view the widest point of your forehead and decide if it is wider than the widest point of your jaw line.
You may discover your face is narrower on the top or bottom based on how your chin measurement compares to that of your forehead.
The initial analysis of your overall face shape will lay a solid foundation, with details provided by the other items noted.
You may even choose to draw a small diagram of your face to accompany notes.
If you are uncertain about your face shape, check online and decide which shapes yours most closely matches.
