FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How were these face shapes chosen?
They are the shapes commonly cited for each person in styling references. We haven't measured anyone listed here, so treat them as examples of how a shape is styled, not as measured results.
Why do sources disagree about a celebrity's face shape?
Hair, beards, weight, camera angle and lens all change how a face reads in a photo, and most faces sit between two shapes. Different sources pick different photos and land on different neighbours.
Why are there no photos?
We don't have the rights to use them. Names and the shape guides are enough to look up how each person wears their hair and frames.
Which celebrity do I look like?
The celebrity lookalike tool compares your photo with public figures and shows the closest matches. It is for fun: it uses an outside face-matching service, and the result says nothing about your face shape.
How do I find my own face shape?
Use the face shape detector with a front-facing photo, or the calculator with four measurements you take yourself. A photo is the more repeatable of the two.
