Oval face form is considered a reference. Recommendations for owners of other types are reduced to visually bring the face outline to the cherished oval. However, for classic proportions, there are rules and prohibitions. We'll figure it out how to emphasize natural advantages and avoid annoying mistakes.
We define the form
Before choosing an image elements, you need to determine the type of face configuration. To do this, pay attention, first, to the ratio of three key points: forehead, chin and cheekbones. Secondly, it is necessary to determine the ratio of the length of the face to its width. These criteria serve as the basis for the allocation of several varieties of oval faces.
Types of ovala
To unify all species of appearance of the face outline, it is customary to compare them with geometric figures:
- Square face It is characterized by a large LBU of medium height, powerful cheekbones and chin. The width of the forehead is approximately equal to the lower jaw, because of which the face looks angular. The ratio of height and width of the head is equal.
- Rectangular face It is similar to the square in the sharpness of the outlines, powerful chests and equal to them in the width of the forehead. The rectangular type differs from the square of the greater height: the ratio of the length and width of the face is 2: 1. The chin is narrow, with pronounced corners. The hair growth line is not smooth, but resembles a broken curve.
- Long face Has elongated proportions of high forehead, thin cheekbones and a small chin. The lower jaw is on one vertical with her forehead. The elongated face is different from the rectangular greater smoothness of the smoothness of the chin lines and the transition to the chests. Hair growth line is rounded.

The forehead and cheekbear are equal in width and make up the contrast with the chin. The transition from the cheek to the chin is elongated. Vertical prevails in the face. It sometimes looks too geometric.
- Heart face. Similarly with a triangle in terms of the ratio of impressive forehead and cheekbone with a narrow chin. Differences "Heart" from a triangle is a smaller height, more rounded cheekbones with a small chin.
- Rhombid face It has a miniature chin and a narrow forehead that are combined with wide cheekbones. They are the most outstanding element of appearance and guilty of the overall angularity of the appearance. The forehead prevails low, hair line graphic. The lower jaw is narrow. The face is equal in length and width.
- The trapezium face is rare. The lower part is strongly accented: large wide jaw and chin, which is opposed to a narrow forehead. Cheeks are not expressed. A slight difference in the height and width of the face.
- Oval face It is released by smooth outlines. The absence of sharp lines is characterized, rounded and harmonious transitions between forehead, cheekbones and chin prevail. An approximate ratio of length and widths - 3: 2. The absence of brightly pronounced elements and a harmonious combination of horizontal and vertical brought this type of reputation of the classical, most attractive and leaving the maximum of space for successful experiments with hairstyles, decorative cosmetics and accessories.
What is different from the elongated type?
A common misconception, which is accompanied by determining the type of person, is the confusion between the elongated and oval varieties. To avoid misunderstandings, fundamental differences should be taken into account.
