Eyewear Shoppers

Choosing glasses or sunglasses that suit your face is notoriously difficult without guidance. The eyewear section recommends specific frame shapes — round, cat-eye, rectangular, aviator, geometric — with brief explanations of why each works for your face shape, and lists the frame styles to avoid. Use it before shopping online or in-store to go in with a clear shortlist.

Deep Dive

The Seven Face Shapes

Face shapes are classified by the relative widths of the forehead, cheekbones, and jawline, the shape of the chin, and the overall length-to-width ratio of the face. Understanding which shape you have is the starting point for every styling decision — from haircuts and glasses to makeup and accessories.

Seven illustrated face shape outlines: oval, round, square, heart, diamond, oblong, and triangle arranged side by side
01

Oval

The oval face shape is characterised by a face length approximately one and a half times the width, with the cheekbones as the widest point, a forehead slightly wider than the jaw, gently rounded sides, and a softly tapered chin. It is traditionally considered the most balanced face shape because its proportions naturally create visual harmony. Most hairstyle, eyewear, and makeup approaches work well for oval faces, giving those with this shape the widest range of styling options. The main styling goal is to maintain the existing balance rather than to add or reduce apparent width.

Key proportionsFace length 1.5× width, cheekbones widest, forehead slightly wider than jaw, softly tapered chin
Styling goalMaintain natural balance — almost all styles work
02

Round

The round face shape has a face length and width that are roughly equal, with soft curved sides, full cheeks, and a rounded chin without a strong jawline angle. The widest point is typically the cheeks rather than the cheekbones. The key styling goal for round faces is to create the illusion of length and to add definition to the jawline area. Hairstyles with volume on top and less width at the sides, angular eyewear frames, and contouring below the cheekbones all help to elongate and define the face visually.

Key proportionsFace length ≈ width, soft curved sides, full cheeks, rounded chin, cheeks are widest zone
Styling goalAdd apparent length and jaw definition
03

Square

The square face shape is defined by a strong, angular jawline of similar width to the forehead, with straight sides and a broad, flat chin. The forehead, cheekbones, and jaw widths are approximately equal, giving the face an overall square outline. The key styling goal is to soften the angular jawline and to add apparent length. Soft layered hairstyles, round or oval eyewear frames, and blush and contour techniques that soften the corners of the jaw all work well for square face shapes.

Key proportionsForehead ≈ cheekbone ≈ jaw width, strong angular jawline, straight sides, broad flat chin
Styling goalSoften jaw angles and add apparent length
04

Heart

The heart face shape (also called the inverted triangle) is characterised by a wide forehead and/or prominent cheekbones that taper significantly to a narrow, pointed or delicately rounded chin. The forehead is the widest zone. Some heart-shaped faces also have a widow's peak at the hairline. The key styling goal is to minimise apparent width at the forehead and temples while adding visual width at the jaw and chin. Bottom-heavy eyewear frames, hairstyles with volume at the jaw level, and contouring at the temples all help to balance the face.

Key proportionsForehead widest zone, strong taper to narrow chin, may have widow's peak, cheekbones prominent
Styling goalReduce apparent forehead width and add width at chin level
05

Diamond

The diamond face shape has wide, prominent cheekbones as the dominant widest zone, with a narrow forehead and a narrow, often slightly pointed chin. Both the forehead and jaw are narrower than the cheekbones, creating the distinctive diamond outline. The key styling goal is to add width at the forehead and soften the cheekbone prominence, creating a more balanced overall outline. Cat-eye frames, hairstyles with volume at the forehead and temples, and highlighting the forehead while contouring the cheekbones all contribute to this balance.

Key proportionsCheekbones widest zone, narrow forehead and chin, prominent angular cheekbones
Styling goalAdd forehead width and soften cheekbone prominence
06

Oblong / Rectangle

The oblong or rectangular face shape has a face length significantly greater than its width, with the forehead, cheekbones, and jaw of approximately equal widths and relatively straight sides. The chin may be rounded or slightly squared. The key styling goal is to add apparent width and to reduce apparent length. Hairstyles with fullness at the sides, blunt bangs, and oversized or round eyewear frames all work well. Contouring the hairline at the top of the forehead helps to visually reduce the face length.

Key proportionsFace length significantly greater than width, forehead ≈ cheekbone ≈ jaw width, straight sides
Styling goalAdd apparent width and reduce apparent length
07

Triangle

The triangle face shape (also called the pear shape) has a wider jawline and lower face that tapers upward to a narrower forehead. The jaw is the widest zone, and the face widens from the temples downward. This is the inverse of the heart shape. The key styling goal is to add visual width at the upper face while drawing attention away from the width of the jaw. Volume and fullness at the crown and temples, cat-eye or upper-heavy eyewear frames, and lighter highlighting at the forehead combined with contouring of the jawline all create better balance.

Key proportionsJaw is widest zone, face widens downward, narrower forehead and temples
Styling goalAdd upper face width and minimise apparent jaw width

Note: many people have a face shape that falls between two types — the result will note any alternative shape that also applies. AI face shape detection works best with clear, well-lit, front-facing photos with the hairline visible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI Face Shape Detector work?

You upload a photo of your face and the AI analyses your facial proportions — forehead width, cheekbone width, jawline width and character, chin shape, face length-to-width ratio, and side contour — to classify your face shape from the seven classic types: oval, round, square, heart, diamond, oblong, and triangle. It then generates personalised style recommendations based on that specific shape.

What face shapes can it identify?

The detector identifies the seven classic face shapes: oval, round, square, heart (inverted triangle), diamond, oblong (rectangle), and triangle (pear). Where a face falls between two shapes, the result includes a primary identification and notes the alternative shape that also applies.

What photo gives the most accurate result?

A clear, well-lit, front-facing photo with your hairline visible gives the most accurate result. Pull your hair back so the forehead and jaw outline are not obscured, look straight at the camera, use a neutral expression, and avoid tilting your head. Natural daylight is preferable to flash.

Does it work for all genders?

Yes. The face shape classification applies equally to all genders. The makeup and grooming section adapts its recommendations based on the face in the image — for faces that appear to have facial hair or present male features, beard and grooming recommendations are included instead of or alongside makeup guidance.

Can I use it to choose glasses frames?

Yes. The eyewear section gives specific frame style recommendations (round, cat-eye, rectangular, aviator, geometric, etc.) with brief explanations of why each works for your face shape, and lists frame styles to avoid. It is a reliable starting point before shopping for glasses or sunglasses online or in-store.

How accurate is the face shape detection?

Accuracy depends significantly on image quality. A clear, front-facing, well-lit photo with the hairline visible gives a high-confidence result. Heavily obscured hairlines, extreme head tilt, poor lighting, or very low image resolution will reduce accuracy and the result will indicate a Moderate or Low confidence rating.

What if the AI cannot detect a face?

If no clear face is visible in the image — for example if the face is obscured, at an extreme angle, or the photo does not contain a face — the result will clearly explain this and list the likely reasons. Try again with a clearer, more directly front-facing photo.
