oval face shape

An oval face is longer than it is wide, with cheekbones often the widest third and a gently rounded jaw.

How to recognise it

Compare forehead, cheekbone, and jaw widths against face length. Look for which third is widest and whether angles read soft or angular in a front-facing photo.

Blend note

Photos often sit between two families. The detector reports alternative scores when cheekbone, jaw, and forehead widths are close — use the blend panel on the tool result for the full split.
