What are the Characteristics of Oval Faces?

What are the Characteristics of Oval Faces?

The oval face shape is defined by the softly curved lines around the jaw and forehead. The best part about the oval face shape is the absence of any hard or sharp features. All the features of the face i.e. the forehead, cheekbones and chin are equally proportionate.

Curved Jawline

The oval face has a slightly curved jawline with little roundness. Although their jawline is neither sharp nor pointed like a square or rectangular face shape, a rounded jawline gives softness to the face.

Broad Forehead

The wide hairline and broad forehead are the distinguishing factor of the oval face. Moreover, the forehead appears a little wider than the chin forming the resemblance of an egg.

High Cheekbones

In the case of an oval face shape, the person has highly placed cheekbones. There are no pointers or harsh lines on the cheeks.

Rounded Chin

The chin area of the people with oval shape is round and not pointed and the face is slightly longer than its width.
