What Is a Diamond Face Shape?

A diamond face shape features a narrow forehead and jawline with wide, prominent cheekbones as the widest point of the face. It's angular and often confused with oval, but the dramatic width at the cheekbones makes it distinctly different.

Diamond is one of the rarer face shapes. The high, striking cheekbones are considered a hallmark of high-fashion beauty — your styling goal is to balance the narrow top and bottom against that wide middle.
