Pull your hair back so your face outline is fully visible
Stand in front of a mirror in good lighting
Trace the outline of your face on the mirror with a washable marker or use a photo
Compare the widest part of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline
Check the length of your face from hairline to chin
Note whether your jaw is sharp, rounded, or soft
Note whether your face is longer than it is wide, or about equal in length and width
Match your features to common shapes such as oval, round, square, heart, diamond, or oblong
Use multiple photos from the front for a more accurate comparison
Focus on overall proportions rather than one single feature
