Your face shape is square. A stand-out feature of the square face shape is the jaws, the widest part of the face. The face height tends to be short. The width of the forehead, cheekbones, and jaw is mostly equal. The jaws are angular with edges but a flatter chin; there is no pointy cuteness here but a face with character.
You are very feminine, with great features of sexual dimorphism.
Analysis of your face shows you have a fat deposit percentage of 66% and finds you have a healthy fat deposit. However, a reduction of it can improve its attractiveness.
Facial Fat Deposit Percentage
Do you know what makes you attractive? Your best features are the Upper-Lip Height, Mouth Width to Nose Width Ratio, and Bi-Zygomatic to Face Height Ratio. Also, you may want to know your features that need special attention. Your features that require improvements are Bi-Goinal to Bi-Zygomatic Ratio, Chin Angle, and Bi-Temporal to Bi-Zygomatic Ratio.
The attractiveness of multiple facial features contributes to overall facial attractiveness. The American University of Beirut Medical Center study says beauty and facial attractiveness are easily identified but difficult to quantify.Despite its subjective nature, we can attempt to define, measure, and explain the captivating phenomenon of beauty by describing it numerically and geometrically.
Hence, a single feature does not determine attractiveness because it depends on how well that feature harmonizes with the face.The unit of measurement we used here is Interpupillary Distance (IPD).
Your Lip Upper Height is 8 IPD units and the ideal value is 7 IPD units. The larger the value, the better it is. You have a fair score for this feature but that doesnt really mean it adds a lot to your attractiveness.
Why a larger upper height is more attractive than a smaller one?
Fuller lips are considered attractive in women, playing a vital role in facial symmetry and aesthetics. A study found that a larger upper lip height relative to the lower lip’s height (with a 1:1.6 ratio) is particularly appealing, especially among young Caucasians. Full lips are associated with youth, femininity, and strong mating potential. Another study from the University of Michigan’s School of Dentistry discovered that the thickness of the upper lip is an essential factor in creating a pleasant smile. Additionally, the thickness of the upper lip is significantly related to the position of the maxillary central incisor. Some suggested that as people age, collagen production declines leading to thinner and flatter lips. These findings suggest that a more prominent upper lip height contributes to overall facial attractiveness and appeal.

Your Mouth Width To Nose Width Ratio is 1.65 and the ideal value is 1.53. The larger the value, the better it is. You have a fair score for this feature.
Why is a larger ratio of Mouth Width to Nose Width attractive?
Studies suggest that the ratio between mouth width and nose width plays a significant role in determining a person's perceived attractiveness. Specifically, research such as the study titled 'Differences in horizontal, neoclassical facial canons in Chinese(Han) and North American Caucasian populations' has shed light on the ideal mouth-to-nose ratio.According to this study, it is generally considered more attractive for the mouth width to be approximately 1.5 times larger than the nose width.In other words, if the mouth is of a similar size or smaller than the nose, it may not be perceived as attractive.These findings provide valuable insights into the importance of the mouth-to - nose ratio when evaluating facial attractiveness.

Your Bigonion To Bizygomatic Ratio is 0.76 and the ideal value is 0.71. The smaller the value, the better it is. You have a low score on this feature, but as we already know, no single feature determines the beauty of a face.
Why is a smaller Bi-gonial width compared to Bi-zygomatic width attractive among females?
Studies by Jung et al. (2018) and Moradinejad et al. (2022) suggest that the dimensions of the lower face play a significant role in perceptions of female attractiveness. The research revealed a preference for a smaller bi-gonial width (width across the jawline), typically equal to or up to 10% narrower than the bi-zygomatic width (broadest part of the face). Findings from the study of Moradinejad et al. (2022) indicate a consensus among various groups, including surgeons and the general public, favoring a narrower intergonial width in females. Participants evaluated Perceptometric face images, resulting in a preferred intergonial to inter-zygomatic ratio ranging from 72.53% to 86.03%. These studies emphasize the importance of lower facial proportions in influencing attractiveness perceptions.

Your Chin Angle is 145 degrees and the ideal value is 132 degrees. The smaller the angle, the better it is. You have a low score on this feature, but as we already know, no single feature determines the beauty of a face.
Why a sharper chin is more attractive than a flatter one?
The shape of the chin is a crucial factor in facial appeal, particularly for females. A study found that a small or narrow chin is often linked to a more feminine appearance. Moreover, a study discovered that a slender face with a sharper chin angle is preferred over a face with larger bigonial width. This preference was supported by a study reporting that broad or square chins can be aesthetically unappealing.
A retrospective study involving 36 patients demonstrated that reducing the mandibular width(G - G distance) and creating a sharper chin significantly enhanced facial attractiveness.Overall, these findings suggest that a larger upper lip height and a more slender, sharper chin are considered more attractive in females.

Your Bitemporal To Bizygomatic Ratio is 0.99 and the ideal value is 1.06. The larger the value, the better it is. You have a low score on this feature, but as we already know, no single feature determines the beauty of a face.
Why is a larger Bi-temporal width in comparison with Bi-Zygomatic width attractive?
Bitemporal width is measured from the most lateral points on each side of the forehead, while bi-zygomatic width is defined as the distance between the most laterally positioned points on the zygomatic arches. A larger bi-temporal width in comparison to bi-zygomatic width is considered attractive among females. According to a study, an unattractive face often features a round lower face, stretched chin region, and compressed eye and eyebrow regions. It was also found that a high amount of facial fat is often associated with a high body fat proportion, making the average masculine body shape with greater muscle mass more attractive to women, while a high body fat proportion is deemed least attractive. Attractive facial shapes are longer and more dolichocephalic, featuring a narrower lower jaw and a wider, fuller lower lip. Additionally, another study found that faces with shorter width are perceived as more trustworthy. Thus, a larger bi-temporal width compared to bi-zygomatic width contributes to attractiveness, trustworthiness, and the perception of a healthier body shape among females.

Celebrities with Shorter Bi-Temporal to Bi-Zygomatic Ratio
Your face shape is square. A stand-out feature of the square face shape is the jaws, the widest part of the face. The face height tends to be short. The width of the forehead, cheekbones, and jaw is mostly equal. The jaws are angular with edges but a flatter chin; there is no pointy cuteness here but a face with character. According to research, the most attractive face shape for women is a triangle. An oval face shape is widely considered attractive, while heart, round, diamond, rectangle, and square face shapes are also considered attractive to varying degrees. On the other hand, pear and oblong face shapes are not typically seen as attractive.

Your 'Nose Width' is a Feminine feature.
A smaller Nose-Width is looked at as a feminine feature, while a wider one is a masculine one. Koehler et al.’s (2004) study suggests that a smaller nose width is considered a feminine trait due to the influence of sex hormones on facial development. Testosterone, typically higher in males, promotes the growth of the lower face, jaw, cheekbones, brow ridges, and nose, resulting in broader features. Conversely, estrogen, usually more prevalent in females, tends to restrict this growth. Consequently, individuals exposed to higher estrogen levels during development may have less broad facial features, including a smaller nose, contributing to the perception of smaller nose width as a feminine characteristic. Moreover, another study highlighted that smaller nose-width is seen as a feminine feature because female noses are usually smaller, shorter, and narrower. In contrast, male noses are generally larger, with wider roots and alar widths, resulting in a more robust and prominent appearance. |

Your 'Brow Thickness' is a Feminine feature.
Beauty standards, influenced by societal, cultural, and media trends, have evolved to perceive thicker eyebrows as more attractive in women. According to a study by Mogilski and Welling (2018), fuller eyebrows, signaling youthfulness and health, contribute to a woman’s attractiveness more than eye size or cheekbone prominence. This suggests the significance of eyebrow fullness in the subconscious assessment of beauty. Comparatively, men typically have heavier, straighter eyebrows closer to the eyes, while women’s eyebrows, more arched, descend with age, giving a more masculine appearance by reducing the relative eye size. A research indicated that female faces, reflecting more light around the eyes, appear more attractive. Cosmetics, often used to thicken eyebrows, can further emphasize these luminance differences around the eyes, eyebrows, and cheeks, enhancing perceived femininity. Hence, thicker eyebrows are considered a feminine feature as they boost attractiveness and distinct femininity. |

Your 'Bizygomatic to Face Height Ratio' is a Feminine feature.
A larger ratio of Bi-Zygomatic-Width to Face-Height is considered a feminine feature, while a smaller ratio is a masculine one. Weston et al.’s (2007) study indicates that as children mature into adults, their facial structure changes; faces become longer and narrower, but these alterations vary between genders, especially post puberty. Boys develop wider faces, with the distance between their cheekbones (bizygomatic width) growing more than their face height, resulting in broader, somewhat shorter faces. Girls, however, maintain a longer face shape as their cheekbone width doesn’t expand as much. This leads to a higher ratio of cheekbone width to face height in men and a lower ratio in women. The wider, shorter facial structure is commonly associated with masculinity, while the longer, narrower one is considered feminine. Lakhiani & Somenek (2019) suggested that this sexual dimorphism in facial structure can be attributed to factors like women’s lighter but more noticeable cheekbones that give a rounder, heart-shaped appearance to the face, while men’s heavier cheekbones result in a squarer face. |

Your 'Mouth Width to Nose Width Ratio' is a Hyper Masculine feature.
A smaller ratio of mouth-width to nose-width is considered a feminine feature, while a larger ratio is a masculine one. A study indicates that men typically have broader mouths and larger noses than women. Consequently, a smaller mouth-width to nose-width ratio, signifying a narrower mouth in comparison to the nose, is perceived as a feminine characteristic. This perception is based on average observations that women generally have slightly narrower mouths and smaller noses relative to men. |

Analysis of your face shows you have a fat deposit percentage of 66% and finds you have a healthy fat deposit. However, a reduction of it can improve its attractiveness.
Believe it or not, scientific studies find facial fat deposits are one of the strongest determinants of attractiveness in a female face. Reduced levels of fatty deposits in the face can signal “health, youth and status” (Thornhill & Grammar, 1999).

Make-up
Hair Style
The best hairstyle that matches your look are styles that will smooth out the edges. This will give your face a slightly rounder look and soften your jawline. We can also achieve this with a short, medium or even a long length style. The most important thing to remember is that with such a unique shape, we need to go for hairstyles that will compliment your face.With a short style, you could get a fringe which is layered in a way to draw attention to your cheekbones and away from your jawline. You could get a bob with bangs on the side which will frame your face nicely. Even a pixie cut will do, and yes you can get away with it if you layer the hair at the front so as to draw eyes and attention to it.
If you want to go for a medium length style, you could have the hair falling nicely down the sides. Loose curls or straight hair is up to you. Then you could have a rounded fringe, which will give your face a rounder look. You could also have bangs that you sweep to the side; which will flatter your gorgeous cheekbones.
If you want to go for a carefree look, then you could go for a shaggy lob; this style will minimise the appearance and sharpness of your angular jawline.
A long hairstyle is a fantastic option as well. You can have an off centre, side or even a centre parting. Spice it up by getting long layers, choppy waves or even going for the really curly curls. What these styles will do for your face is give it the appearance of a smooth rounded look. It will also soften the jaw area and also draw attention away from it.
Glasses
Finally for your sunglasses, keep in mind to always go for glasses that are the opposite of your face shape. This way it will balance out the proportions of your face. It will also compliment your strong features; a result of the magic curvy frames can work on square faces is to soften the angles. This means cat eyes, oval, pilot glasses or even round framed glasses will suit you. All of these will go a long way to balance out the proportions of your face; by giving it a longer and slimmer look.I hope you now see how hairstyles, make-up and even the sunglasses you wear can mask or hide certain features you have. They also work the other way round to compliment those features that some might view as a disadvantage. This is why it is important for one to know their body and face shape. That is the only way you can work with what you have; to turn what might seem like a negative into a super plus positive.If you wish to ask me something about face shape, add it as a comment here.
