Most Attractive Face Shape
According to a study conducted by the University of Toronto, the most attractive face shape for both men and women is the oval face shape. This face shape is characterized by features that are proportional and balanced, with a gently rounded forehead, high cheekbones, and a narrow chin. The oval face shape is also versatile, as it can pull off a variety of hairstyles and makeup looks.
Other attractive face shapes for women include the heart-shaped face, which is characterized by a wider forehead and narrow jawline, and the square face shape, which features a strong jawline and angular features. For men, the square face shape is also considered attractive, as well as the triangular face shape, which features a broad forehead and narrow chin.
Least Attractive Face Shape
On the other hand, the least attractive face shape for both men and women is the diamond face shape. This face shape is characterized by a narrow forehead and chin, with wide cheekbones. The diamond face shape is often associated with aging and may appear harsh or masculine.
Other less attractive face shapes for women include the round face shape, which features full cheeks and a rounded chin, and the rectangular face shape, which features a long face with a prominent forehead and chin. For men, the oblong face shape, which is elongated with a long forehead and chin, is also considered less attractive.
How to Determine Your Face Shape
To determine your face shape, there are a few simple steps you can follow:
- Measure your face from the top of your forehead to the bottom of your chin.
- Measure the width of your forehead at the widest point, just above your eyebrows.
- Measure the width of your cheekbones at the widest point.
- Measure the width of your jawline at the widest point, just below your ears.
- Compare your measurements to the following face shapes:
- Oval: Forehead is slightly wider than the chin, with prominent cheekbones.
- Heart: Forehead is wider than the chin, with a pointy chin.
- Square: Forehead, cheekbones, and jawline are all about the same width.
- Diamond: Cheekbones are the widest part of the face, with a narrow forehead and chin.
