We see Round faces every day. Ovals are everywhere. But if you have high, dramatic cheekbones and a narrow forehead, you might belong to the most exclusive club in facial aesthetics: The Diamond Face Shape.
The Diamond: A Rare Gem
Statistical Rarity
Biometric studies suggest that the true Diamond shape appears in less than 5% of the population. It requires a specific genetic combination of widening mid-face bones and narrowing upper/lower cranial structure.
Do You Have It? The Checklist
Many people confuse Diamond with Heart or Oval. Here is the definitive diagnostic checklist:
1. The Width Check
Your cheekbones are undeniably the widest part of your face. If you draw a line from ear to ear, it is wider than your forehead line.
2. The Taper Check
Unlike an Oval (which has a broad forehead), your hairline is narrow and tapered. Your chin is also narrow and pointed, creating a true diamond geometry.
Why It's So Coveted
High cheekbones are a universal sign of youth and beauty. The Diamond shape has them naturally built-in. Because the face tapers at both ends, the eyes are framed dramatically, making this shape incredibly photogenic.
Famous Diamonds: Megan Fox, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, and Robert Pattinson.

Run Face CheckHow To Style It
Hair: Avoid adding volume at the ears (which widens the widest point). Go for chin-length bobs or side-swept bangs to soften the forehead taper.
Glasses: Cat-eye frames or oval shapes help balance the sharp angles of your cheekbones.
