Determining your face shape can be somewhat tricky since we all have different shapes and sizes but here are some things you can use or do to help you determine your shape:
- Use a large enough mirror so you can see your whole face.
- Put ALL of your hair back out of your face
- Take a photo or better yet have someone else take it for you.
- If you are taking your own photo be sure you take it level and far enough from your face to get a good photo.
