Oval face shape
An oval face is longer than it is wide, with a forehead slightly wider than the chin and gently rounded jaw. It is often called the most balanced shape because few styles need correcting.
How to recognize a oval face
- Face length is about one and a half times its width.
- Forehead is slightly wider than the jaw.
- Cheekbones are the widest point, and the chin is softly rounded.
