Before you make  that big mistake think about what suits you.

If you're not sure of your face shape, here are a few tips:

2. Tie your hair up, use the clips to clip up the short hair you couldn't tie up
3. Look into the mirror
4. With the measuring tape, measure your forehead, cheekbones and jaw line
If your forehead and cheekbones maintain roughly the same length and your chin sharpens, you have a strawberry/diamond shaped face
5. Use the edge of your ruler, place it horizontally against your face on the bridge of your nose, a proportionate shape could be a round or square face depending on the shape of your chin.
