round face usually shows a little bit of chubby/ fat features (though the person may not be fat)
Square face is very chiseled jawbone ...My late cousin had it and everyone used to like it....

Scientists have now identified NINE distinct face shapes…five new groups on top of the traditional oval, round, heart and square

There are no longer four basic face shapes, with scientists identifying five new distinct shapes among Australian faces.
Dr Kendra Schmid, a leading facial recognition scientist, analysed over 1000 faces from different states across Australia, unmasking five new face shapes.
New face shapes that were discovered are kite, rectangle, teardrop, heptagon and oblong in research conducted by Dr Kendra Schmid.
Before this research, more than half of Australians thought their face was oval, however, it has turned out that only 14 per cent actually have this shaped face.
+5
+5
The most common face shape among Australia's is a new model, coined, 'Kite' (above). A study found 20.4 per cent of Australians have a kite shaped face
The research, commissioned by OPSM Opticians, found that around one-third of Australians are unsure of their face shape, prompting the company to better understand the different shapes of individuals.
The most common face was a new model, coined 'kite', which is found among 20.4 per cent of Australians.
The second most common shape is the heart frame, which is a more traditional pre-existing shape among Australians.
+5
Australian super model Miranda Kerr has a square shaped face. People with square shaped faces have an angular shape, where the forehead and chin lengths are almost equal
'Rarer types such as teardrop, heptagon and oblong, although reflecting a relatively small percentage of Australians of only 5 per cent each, all have very distinct features that set them apart form more common groups,' Dr Schmid told Daily Mail Australia.
She said that the most surprising discovery was the diversity in face shapes.
'I did not expect to find nine shapes that stood out so prominently,' she said. 'This was really the first study of its kind and so I was really surprised with the number of shapes.'
Dr Schmid said that knowing your face shape is just as important as knowing your shoe size or clothing size.
She said that this research helps Optometrists to 'better understand their customers and the type of frames that would suite them best'.
'You go shopping for shoes and dresses knowing your size, so knowing your shape face also makes you feel and look your best', Dr Schmid said.
But Dr Schmid said a lot of people confuse their shape with existing models.
'An oval shape is very similar to a kite face but it has more even features like the forehead and jawline, which is more even in terms of length and curve,' she said.
When asked whether there is one particular shape that is more attractive amongst others, Dr Schmid insisted that beauty was in the eye of the beholder.
'The measurements that we used for this research is just a small part to determine someone's attractiveness - any shape could be just as beautiful - the attractiveness is more about features and symmetry rather than the shape'.

But when it comes to models, Dr Schmid admits they tend to have a square shaped face.
'They have a defined bone structure and everything is fairly in proportion'.
Only 11 per cent of Australians have a square shaped face, among them is super model Miranda Kerr.
OPMS describes their characteristics as 'an angular face shape, where the forehead and chin lengths are almost equal'.
Other Australian celebrities were put through a face analysis which found Kylie Minogue with a heart shaped face, Rose Byrne with an oval shaped face, and Cate Blanchett with a kite shaped face.
Dr Schmid analysed 1000 Australian faces using image processing and point detection software.
'I took measurements with the points and used something called cluster analysis which grouped people in their category', she said.
FRAMING AUSTRALIAN FACES

#3 RECTANGLE: 16% of Australians
Characteristics: Rectangle faces are recognisable by their defined jaw line, of similar width to the cheekbone and lower forehead.
#4 OVAL: 14% of Australians
Characteristics: Ovals are typically smaller than average on all measures. Oval faces are widest at the cheekbone and narrow through the forehead and jaw.

Face-reading experts believe the shape of your face can reveal basic personality traits and determine your overall approach to life.
'Your face is saying something,' expert Jean Haner, author of The Wisdom Of Your Face, told Cosmopolitan. 'You're born with with features you have for a reason. The face is a map of your personality as well as your whole life.'

American singer Taylor Swift, 25, has a diamond-shaped face, which is characterised by being pointed towards the forehead and chin but wide in the middle
to someone who likes to take control and wants things a certain way,' Ms Haner told Elle UK. 'They're also very detail-oriented and because of that they produce quality work.'
She adds someone with a diamond-shaped face 'communicates well' and is 'precise' with their words. However, this person could be 'sharp' if crossed the wrong way.

34-year-old American hit maker Beyonce's oval face means it is longer than wide and she has a jaw that is narrower than her cheekbones
+6
London-born TV personality Kelly Osbourne, 30, has a triangle-shaped face. This means the face is narrower at the forehead but wide at the jawline
OVAL FACE SHAPE
People with oval faces are practical, methodical and overachievers in their careers.
This appears true for American hit maker Beyonce, 34, whose face is longer than wide and she has a jaw that is narrower than her cheekbones.
Ms Haner added to Elle UK that people with oval face shapes are also compassionate: 'This person always knows all the right things to say, so they can make someone feel welcome and comfortable.'
TRIANGLE FACE SHAPE
London-born TV personality Kelly Osbourne, 30, has a triangle-shaped face. This means the face is narrower at the forehead but wide at the jawline.
Men and women with these faces tend to be artistic, creative and sensitive but also fiery.
'This shape means you usually want to be in charge,' said Ms Haner told Cosmopolitan. 'And the more narrow your forehead is at toward the top of the person's head, the more they have to be in control.'
She said people with triangle face shapes are usually 'very successful'.
+6
American actress Mena Suvari, 36, has a square face shape, which is characterised by a wide hair and jaw line
+6
A heart face shape is characterised by a wide forehead and narrow chin. Actress Reese Witherspoon, 39, has this shape
SQUARE FACE SHAPE
Men and women with square faces tend to possess a sharp wit and analytical mind.
American actresses Mena Suvari, 36, and Sandra Bullock, 51, have this shape, which is characterised by a wide hair and jaw line.
'It typically refers to someone who is really gung-ho and into taking on huge projects because they have so much stamina,' said Ms Haner.
HEART FACE SHAPE
A heart face shape is characterised by a wide forehead and narrow chin.
Both actress Reese Witherspoon, 39, and reality star Khloe Kardashian, 31, have this shape.
'It speaks to someone who has incredible inner strength but can also be stubborn because they are so strong-minded,' said Ms Haner. 'They're like little energizer bunnies. But their strength is not from stamina, it's about inner power.'
Other common personality traits include being 'pushy', having 'a strong intuition' and being 'very creative'.
RECTANGLE FACE SHAPE
People with this type of face value logic and are really good thinkers.
American actress Lucy Liu, 46, has this shape, which is squared off at the forehead and chin.
'They're usually planners in some way and don't often talk about their feelings,' said Ms Haner. 'However, they do work out regularly—they have to work off inner tension that results from constantly living in their own heads.'

Rounded Face Shape: A round face shape is characterized by a wide hairline and fullness below the cheekbones. This face shape typically means you're a people person who is very giving and kind, and always puts people first. The downside to this is that you can tend to put people first too much and then you don't get what you need from the relationship. This type of mentality can attract narcissistic people, but you can change that by realizing you're an over-giver and not always make others the priority over yourself.

Diamond Face Shape: This shape is wide in the middle, and pointed toward the forehead and chin. This refers to someone who likes to take control and wants things a certain way. They're also very detail-oriented and because of that, they produce quality work. This is someone who can be very precise with their words and communicates well. That said, they can also be sharp with their words too, if you cross them the wrong way.

Oval Face Shape: An oval face is longer than wide, with a jaw that is narrower than the at the cheekbones. This person always knows all the right things to say, so they can make someone feel welcome and comfortable. That said, sometimes they can be too focused on saying all the right things.

Square Face Shape: This face shape is characterized by a wide hairline and jawline. It typically refers to someone who is really gung-ho and into taking on huge projects because they have so much stamina.

Heart Face Shape: This is when you have a wider forehead and narrower chin. It speaks to someone who has incredible inner strength but can also be stubborn because they are so strong-minded. They're like little energizer bunnies. But their strength is not from stamina, it's about inner power. They can be pushy and steamroll you, so if they have a goal, they're going to keep going for it. They also have a strong intuition, like an inner knowing, so they know when to make moves. They're also very creative, so you often see performers who have strongs chin and widow's peaks, which can accompany this face shape.
Getty/Lauren Ahn
Pear or Triangle Face Shape: This facial shape is narrower at the forehead and wide at the jawline. This shape means you usually want to be in charge. And the narrower your forehead is at the top of your head, the more you have to be in control. But, because you're so driven, you're often very successful.
Getty/Lauren Ahn
Rectangular Face Shape: This shape is squared off at the forehead and chin. People with this type of face shape value logic and are really good thinkers, but they often overthink. They're usually planners in some way and don't often talk about their feelings. However, they do work out regularly — they have to work off inner tension that results from constantly living in their own heads.

- Round: A round face is just about equal in width and doesn’t have pronounced jaw corners.
- Oval: An oval face is longer than it is wide with no major corners around the hairline or on the jawline.
- Oblong: An oblong face is thin and narrow with soft angles.
- Square: A square face is equal or nearly equal in width with a strong, angular jawline and wide cheekbones.
- Triangular: Triangular faces have a broad jaw and chin with a smaller forehead. The jawline may be angular or rounded.
- Diamond: A diamond face is distinguished by a defined chin, wide cheekbones and a narrower forehead.
- Heart-Shaped: On a heart-shaped face, the cheek area is slightly wider than the hairline and drops into a narrow chin.
If Your Face Is Round…
The goal with a rounded face is to create as much definition as possible. Look for sunglasses that contrast well with your softer features. Frames that are slightly wider than your face will make your cheeks appear slimmer. A subtle cat-eye upturn can also make your face appear thinner and sharper, while angular frames elongate your temples and lengthen your face. Avoid round frames that mimic your face shape.If Your Face Is Oval…
Congratulations – you are the proud owner of the most coveted face shape of them all. With your features and proportions, you can experiment with pretty much any frame you want, as most styles available will suit an oval face. The one thing to avoid is sunglasses with arms that hang too low, because they elongate your already-long face.If Your Face Is Oblong…
Balance out your face’s narrow proportions and soft features with a frame that is thick or lenses that are oversized. Round or square frames work well, but steer clear of more diminutive styles that make your features appear small. Vintage styles with clean, bold lines also work well on oblong faces as do aviators, because the convex shape and teardrop silhouette of their lenses accentuate the cheek and jaw bones.If Your Face Is Square…
Avoid anything boxy or too sharp. Your face already has strong features, so opting for sunglasses that are also angular will look too harsh. Complement the strong structure of your face with a rounded, slightly curved frame or aviators. Stronger features can get away with bigger glasses, while more delicate faces should stick with subtler sizes. Keep detailing to a minimum to put the spotlight on your naturally interesting features.If Your Face Is Triangular…
A triangular face is bottom-heavy by definition, so the best sunglasses for this face shape pull the emphasis upwards. Top-heavy frames offset your broad jaw and chin, while teardrop lenses can draw the eye up to your forehead. Anything with a heavy browline adds width to the upper portion of your face, which is a major plus for triangular shapes.If Your Face Is A Diamond…
Your defined chin and wide cheekbones are well-suited to retro, rectangular styles that balance out your pointed chin. Look for sunglasses that soften the bottom half of your face by drawing attention to the upper half. Your face shape is perfect for experimenting with strong colours and creative details.If Your Face Is Heart-Shaped…
The heart-shaped face is a tricky one to frame. Rounder sunglasses will help balance the wider forehead. Frames that direct attention downward elongate your look and keep your proportions in check. Frames that are embellished at the bottom or are otherwise bottom-heavy broaden the lower part of your face.The Nonnegotiables: Rules For Every Face (Yes, Including The Handsome 24/7 Ones)

And the narrower your forehead is at the top of your head, the more you have to be in control. But, because you're so driven, you're often very successful.

Rectangular Face Shape: This shape is squared off at the forehead and chin. People with this type of face shape value logic and are really good thinkers, but they often overthink. They're usually planners in some way and don't often talk about their feelings. However, they do work out regularly — they have to work off inner tension that results from constantly living in their own heads.
