Your Face Shape: Square
What this result means
A square face is about as wide as it is long, like a round face, but the jaw is the giveaway: a strong, wide jaw with a distinct corner below the ear and a flat chin line. Forehead, cheekbones and jaw all sit close to the same width.
The nearest boundary in our rule set is Square ↔ Round: the two prototypes differ mainly in jaw angle (132° vs 108°). If your result feels wrong, that's the pair worth reading about before re-measuring.
Read: Round →The styling picks below are the short version. The full Square guide goes through the same four measurements, how to check them yourself, and every category in detail.
We don't sell glasses or hair products, so these picks aren't influenced by any brand.
