How face shape detection works
A face shape detector compares the width of your forehead, cheekbones and jaw with the length of your face, and how angular or rounded the jawline is. The closest match is named as one of six common shapes: oval, round, square, heart, diamond or oblong.
- 1Take a front-facing selfie in even light, hair off the face
- 2The forehead, cheekbones, jaw and face length are compared
- 3The jawline and chin are read as angular or rounded
- 4The closest of the six shapes is named, with a confidence score
