a face by any other name


"If cheekbone width is about the same length from brow to chin and forehead and chin are not over broad, it is a round face. If forehead and chin are extra-broad and the proportions otherwise the same, it is a square face. When forehead is broad and the chin tapers, it is a triangular face. When cheekbone width is less than the length of the face and jaw width is about the same as the cheekbone width, it is an oblong face. The oval face has forehead and jaw width of about equal size, both less than the length of the face and less than the cheekbone width."
