FaceShapeTryOnOblong Face Shape
Common oblong face features
An oblong face shape has a distinctly longer-than-wide outline and fairly even upper, cheek and jaw widths.
Some people call this a rectangle face shape.
- Visible length is clearly greater than cheek width, more so than in oval.
- Upper outline, cheeks and jaw are similar in width rather than tapering.
- The jaw can be rounded or angular; angular corners read as rectangle within this family.
Oblong versus oval and diamond
Reference points the detector compares your photo with. Your own numbers will differ; the closest reference becomes the label.
| Shape | Visible pattern | Length ÷ cheek width | Upper ÷ cheek width | Jaw ÷ cheek width | Jaw turn |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oblong | Distinctly longer than wide; widths fairly even | 1.70 | 0.93 | 0.84 | 144° |
| Oval | Longer than wide; jaw tapers inward to a soft chin | 1.42 | 0.92 | 0.78 | 151° |
| Diamond | Cheekbones clearly widest; narrower top and jaw | 1.43 | 0.78 | 0.74 | 144° |
Oblong shares length with oval but stays wider at the jaw. Diamond can be similarly long but narrows above and below the cheekbones. A broad outline with strong corners that is not especially long is better compared with square.
What a photo cannot establish
Length is the measurement most affected by the camera. A phone held close or below the chin stretches the lower face; tilting the head back shortens it. The detector also measures to an upper-outline point, not the true hairline, so a high or hidden hairline changes the result. A single photo cannot establish a fixed face shape or guarantee a styling outcome. This is not a medical assessment.
