What's your face shape?

Face shape is where contouring starts. The same technique creates completely different results depending on the underlying shape. A round face and a long face, for example, need contouring applied in opposite directions — round faces need vertical lift, while oblong faces need horizontal weight.

Korean cosmetology research (KISTI, classification of facial types among women in their twenties) finds that most faces fall into one of five base types — oval, round, square, oblong, and heart — and each has its own guidelines for contour, blush, hair, and eyewear.

This quiz reads six external features and matches you to the closest base type. The goal is not to flag what to "fix" — it is to help you play to the strengths of your shape.
