Take this demonstration for what it is, a good-hearted attempt at determining your face shape. If you disagree with the interpretations, please let me know. If you have a "mixed" face that can not be assigned based on the demonstration programs, then contact me with your specific measurements and what face type you believe you match, and I will send you my opinion and update the program.
