Which face shape is long and narrow with cheeks that are often hollowed under prominent cheekbones?

• A. Oval
• B. Round
• C. Diamond
• D. Rectangle

Answer: (D)

Understanding facial shapes comes from looking at length versus width and how the features sit along the face. A rectangle, or oblong, is defined by a face that is longer than it is wide, with relatively straight, vertical sides and a sometimes square jawline. When someone has a long, slender face and the mid-face area shows strong cheekbones with some hollowness beneath them, that describes the rectangle pattern—the proportions emphasize length and a less rounded silhouette.

This fits better than an oval (which is balanced and softly rounded), a round (where the face is nearly as wide as it is long with soft curves), or a diamond (which is widest across the cheekbones with a narrow forehead and chin). So the description of a long, narrow face with hollowed areas under prominent cheekbones aligns with the rectangle shape.
