You probably have an idea what your face shape is, but don't really think about it that often or use it to make style choices, right?
Well, apparently, your face shape could help determine the most flattering makeup look, glasses shape and hairstyle for you. And beauty & style experts—like makeup master Mally Roncal, celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, former "Queer Eye" grooming expert Kyan Douglas and lifestyle & fashion expert Lawrence Zarian—are breaking it all down.
