It’s really only a matter of time before I start convincing myself I’m shaped like a rectangle, and you know why? Because faces are always changing, and rarely does someone fit exactly into one category. To prove my point, I spent, like, the first half of my life thinking I had a round face, followed by a time when I thought I had an oval face, and then years thinking I had a square-shaped face. I mean sure, knowing whether your face closely resembles a heart or an oval is a fun fact to have on hand, but as far as guiding the way you contour your face or get your hair cut, it isn’t necessary or even that reliable.
Hot take: Determining your face shape is a waste of your time.
