You have a heart face shape if: you are wider at your forehead then narrows below your cheekbones and your chin is defined and pointed.

Facial Features:

Wider at the forehead
Usually defined cheekbones
Tapered narrow chin

A heart shaped face is very similar to an oval face.

The only difference is your bone structure narrows below the cheekbones and has a chin that’s defined and pointed.

It’s best to avoid fringes and balance out small jaw lines by opting for styles that are fuller at the ends, to widen the appearance of the chin and jaw bone.

Go for longer lengths with more width at the chin.

Aim – Create width around narrow chins and elongate the face.

Avoid – Too much volume, slicked-back ponytails.

You’ll Rock – Chin length bob and side swept wispy bangs.

Sista Act Dakota and Elle Fanning have the most gorgeous perfect heart shaped faces.

Both embracing longer full length hair and the occasional side swept wispy bangs. They know how to create more of an illusion of an oval face.


Elle the younger of the two started out playing younger versions of Dakota’s characters in movies. Now a star in her own right but credits her big sister with inspiring her.



Dakota (aka. Evil-eyed Jane) plays a scary mean vampire, but with her sweet smile and angelic looks you wonder how she pulls this off.

Her stylists have chosen to tie back her hair defining her strong bone structure. This gives Dakota a harsher appearance, plus with the help of some pretty mean contacts, there is no doubting her character.



Who else is rocking a heart shaped face?
