FACE SHAPE GUIDE

🥚 Oval Face Shape

Balanced proportions with a gently tapered jaw

How to tell if your face is oval

  • Face length is about 1.4× your cheekbone width
  • Forehead is slightly wider than the jawline
  • Jawline is rounded and softly tapered — no sharp corners
  • Cheekbones are the widest point of the face

Makeup for an oval face

Blush: Almost any placement works — swept on the apples toward the temples is classic.

Contour: You need very little; a whisper under the cheekbones adds definition.

Brows: Softly angled brows echo your natural balance.

Where to focus: Balanced proportions mean you can carry bold eyes or bold lips — pick one focal point.
