Pull your hair back so your face is fully visible
Stand in front of a mirror in good lighting
Trace the outline of your face with a washable marker or take a straight-on photo
Compare the widest part of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline
Check the length of your face from hairline to chin
Identify whether your face is longer than it is wide or about the same
Determine whether your jawline is sharp, rounded, or soft
Determine whether your forehead is wide, narrow, or balanced
Determine whether your cheekbones are the widest part of your face
Match your features to common face shapes such as oval, round, square, heart, diamond, or oblong
Use multiple photos from the front and side for a more accurate comparison
Repeat the check in natural light if needed
