Differences:

1. Differences in length-to-width ratio

The face width of a long face is less than two-thirds of the face length.

The ideal length-to-width ratio of an oval face is 4:3.

2. Different facial proportions: A face with oval seeds is more likely to have three courts and five eyes than a long face, which is the standard proportion of people's aesthetics.

In ancient Chinese painting theory, there is a saying of "Three Courts and Five Eyes", which refers to the vertical and horizontal proportions of a person's face when viewed from the front. The ideal oval face fully conforms to this proportion.

The proportion of oval face is 34:21. "Three Courts" refers to dividing the front face into three equal parts, that is, the upper court is from the hairline to the eyebrow line, and the middle court is from the eyebrow line to the bottom of the nose. Below the bottom of the nose is the lower court.

3. The difference between the chin

The chin of a long face is square and angular like a rectangle.

The "pointed chin" of oval face is the "pointed" that the human body can actually grow naturally. Although it is called "pointed", it is actually a very soft and smooth "rounded corner", and it is not the same as the public. The impression is quite different, the chin is both short and small.

4. Differences in face shape

The characteristic of a long face is that the length of the face is greater than the width, and the cheek contour is long and straight. The forehead is high and the chin is long, showing a very long rectangular face. The face shape is relatively slender, and the width of the forehead, cheekbones, and mandible are almost the same.

The upper part of the melon-seed face is slightly rounded and the lower part is slightly pointed, resembling a melon seed, and is generally called an oval face. Among the many face shapes, the oval face is the most beautiful one.

Extended information:

1. Determine whether the face is long or short:

If the height of the lower 1/3 of the face is significantly smaller than the middle 1/3 of the face, it will form Short impression. On the contrary, it will give people the feeling of long face and deformity.

A beautiful face shape is divided vertically into four equal parts by drawing vertical lines from the midline of the face to the left and right through the lateral edge of the iris and the lateral boundary of the face. Harmony is the most advanced form among the three elements of beauty. Vertical harmony is one of the regular manifestations of facial structure.

For normal people, the height of the lower 1/3 of the face and the middle 1/3 of the face should be roughly equal. The middle and lower parts of a normal person's face are generally coordinated, but not necessarily equal. The height of the lower 1/3 of the face should only be close to the height of the middle 1/3 of the face. Because the nasal root point is a bony landmark and its surface is unclear, it is recommended to use the distance from the outer canthus of the eye to the corner of the mouth instead. In any case, the lower 1/3 of the face must be tall enough to make the expression natural, which is one of the foundations of beautiful appearance.

2. Taboo hairstyles for girls with long faces:

(1) Leaking your forehead to expose your long face.

We often see that many people like to comb their hair cleanly and tie it into a ponytail, which is very youthful and very popular. But this hairstyle is not suitable for beauties with long faces. Tying all the hair back will only expose the long-faced beauty’s big forehead and long face curves to people.

(2) Please do not try to score easily.

No matter how much you like the special charm of the middle-parted hairstyle, beauties with long faces please don’t try it. The middle-parted hairstyle stretches the face curve from an overall perspective, which is naturally good for round faces. But the problem with long-faced beauties is that the facial curves are too extended, and center parting not only cannot help us solve the problem, but also makes the already long face look longer.

(3) No matter how cute the pear flower head is, don’t choose it

The cute and sweet pear flower head is very popular among people, and the pear flower head is indeed a hairstyle that modifies the face shape. It is very friendly to round, square, and diamond-shaped faces, but this is not the case for beauties with long faces. Although the fluffiness of the pear flower head can make the hair fluffy and make the head look bigger, the hair covering the face still cannot solve the facial defects of long-haired beauties.
