Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? That is what the Queen from the Disney's Snow White always said. But today, we are going to figure out on how to determine your face shape by simply looking yourself at a mirror. Besides that, I will share some hairstyles that suit your face.  

How to determine your face shape?
Materials that you need:
a)Measurement tape






b) A piece of paper









c) A pen





First step
- Choose a bathroom that has a good lighting.
-Stand in front of your mirror and make sure that you can see your full face.

Second step:
-Start measuring across the top of your cheekbones.
-Place the end of your tape measure just past the outer corner of your eye. Then, lay the tape measure in a straight line across the bridge of your nose to just past the outer corner of your other eye.
-The tape measure should be resting on top of your cheekbones.
-Read the number at the end point and write down the measurement.

Third step:
- Next, measure your jaw line.
-Start on one side of your jaw at the base near your ear. Run the tape measure along your jaw line until you come to the middle of your chin.
-Multiple the number at the end point by two and write down the measurement.

Fourth step:
-Now, measure your forehead.
-Place the tape measure on one side of your forehead at the widest point halfway between your eyebrows and your hairline.
-Run the tape measure along your forehead until you come to the same point on the opposite side of your head.
-Read the number at the end point and write down the measurement.

Last step:
-Measure the total length of your face
-Start at the middle of your hairline.
-Run the tape measure down your face, over your nose to tip of your chin.
-Read the number at the end point and write down the measurement.
