Diamond vs. Oval Face Shape
Compare diamond and oval face shapes by checking whether cheekbones create the widest point or the outline stays balanced from forehead to jaw.

Why they feel similar
Both patterns can have a gentle jaw and a longer-than-wide impression. Step back from the photo and compare whether the cheekbones stand out most clearly or the outline feels balanced from forehead through jaw.
Widest area
Cheekbones usually create the strongest horizontal point of the outline.
Cheekbone width tends to feel balanced with the forehead and jaw.
Forehead and jaw
Both often read narrower than the cheekbones.
The forehead is often a little wider than the jaw, with a softer taper.
