We’re all aware that no two human faces look alike. We all have our unique facial features and shapes. From dimpled cheeks and a pointed tip nose to thin lips and square shaped jawline, every face feature differentiates yours from another person’s face. While this is true, we’d be lying if we said we’ve never mistakenly waved at a stranger on the street thinking it’s a known friend.

For that matter, it’s also not unusual if you’ve walked up to someone to tell them that their facial features resembles a famous celebrity.

Celebrities are seen by millions of people on big and small screens. Their faces are on advertisements, magazines and talk shows, which gets them global recognition. On events like Cosplay or Halloween, people actually reinvent their favorite celebrity looks, as it’s fun! If you’re trying to figure which celebrity you’d probably resemble, let us help find that out with you.

Face and Jawline Shapes

Before we dive in, it’s necessary to understand your own face and jawline shape. These two go together, as your jawline is one of the strongest features that shapes your face! Observing these features also plays a role in selection of a body double for celebrities.

Knowing your facial shape would help you to know which haircut goes well on you. It also helps determine which areas you wish to sculpt while you’re contouring, while enabling you to pick out the right pair of glasses too. Moreover, it can simply solve the puzzle of whether your jawline resembles that of a celebrity.

There are 5 major groups for types of face shape – Round, Square, Diamond, Heart shaped and Oval/Oblong shape. These categories are not rigid, but are created for the sake of simply understanding which shape you incline towards.

How do you know which face type is yours? Simply observe your jawline and your forehead. Depending on the shape of your jaw, you can narrow down on your face shape.

Round Jawline – Round jawlines are often associated with round faces. Other things that give your face a round look is your cheekbone. Here, you’d see that your cheekbone is the widest part of the face. However, since they are less prominent, the face takes a circular appearance. The forehead and cheeks being of the same width also contribute to having a round facial shape.

Jake Gyllenhaal, Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Smith, Emma Stone, Kaley Cuoco, Drew Barrymore and Chrissy Teigen are few celebrities who have a round jawline.

Sharp pointed Jawline – When your jawline points at the tip, this automatically makes your face take the shape of a heart, as the forehead is broader. But then your face is getting slender, as you observe it at the chin. Just as a heart is wide at the middle, your cheeks are slightly wide. You can picture your face as a heart or as an upside down triangle.

Celebrities who have won our hearts with their performances and have this facial shape are Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Garner, Julia Roberts, Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. You can look up which hairstyles you like on them. It would probably suit you as well, if you have this face shape.

Long Jawline – A longer length at the jaw tip makes your face take an oval shape. A common characteristic is that the lower part of the face will be much longer than the rest. Here, you would see that your face has less sharp edges, because of which the overall facial structure gives the image of an oval shape.

In this list, we have celebrities such as Julianne Moore, Kate Middleton, Adam Levine, Ryan Reynolds, Harry Styles and Richard Gere.

Square Jawline – This is considered to be the most powerful jawline. Here your jawline has sharp defined corners. Your forehead, cheekbones and jawline take the same width. Square faces can be experimental with different styles. In this case, your cheekbones and jawline stand out. To soften the angles of your face, a good amount of contouring on the outer edges of the jawline is suggested.

Few celebrities who show off this excellent bone structure are Henry Cavill, Tom Cruise, David Beckham, Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Aniston, Olivia Wilde and Jennifer Lopez.

Diamond Jawline – A narrow forehead and a jawline that takes almost the same width as the forehead happens to take the shape of a diamond face. What sets this shape apart is that the jawline is more V-shaped. You can tuck your hair behind your ears to observe this shape perfectly.

Celebrities who wear a stunning diamond look are Megan Fox, Halle Berry, Kate Hudson, Robert Pattinson, Johnny Depp and Jared Leto.

Conclusion

Knowing your face shape will help pull off some amazing looks as you become a better judge of what would suit your face shape. Celebrities are especially admired for their facial shape, as it helps them pull off the right glares, hats, neck jewelry and hairstyles, while they face the camera. Perhaps, if your jawline resembles few of these celebrities, you could experiment with the styles they have featured in.
