Watching this I am more aware that I have no idea what face shape I have

[jonathanriojas]

Apparently I’m all face shapes based upon how I’m feeling and what I decide looks like it lines up better.

[stocktonnash]

Dude is just drawing random shapes on faces.

This video just bought me another hour in character customizations in my games

Spent a solid 25 minutes trying to figure out my face shape before I finally gave up and decided that mine must be the unlisted one: "The Weird Shaped Head" lol

[jaysibiri]

PSA: face shapes are nonsense. It doesn’t take into account head shape or hair type/density. Just try different things until you find something you enjoy.

[jeremyp]

He should also do a version of this video with styles for different types of hairlines

I love Matty's sense of humour. "If you don't have a blowdryer, ask your partner. If you don't have a partner, it's because you don't have a blowdryer" lmao

[OMDAT]

Anyone else immediately looked into a mirror trying to figure out their face shape?

My hair started falling out about 15 years ago and after desperate ways to comb and whatever, I decided to just shave it all off. To my amazement, even at the moment when I shaved it all off I realized how well it "balanced" with my face and instead of being shocked and having to "get used to it" over a period of time, I kinda liked it instantly. Ironically, only after I got rid of my hair, for the first time in my life, I started to get called "hot" and got x times more dates. That never happened, even before it had started thinning. Strange how it goes sometimes ...

Game of the year. That was fantastic! Thanks for posting!

[jpsluckhaus]

The tip at the end about trying to fit a shape to my face answered a lifelong question I've had. Thank you

These editors taking out the japanese jazz, love the music choices.

Cillian has a rectangular/diamond face shape and Timothee has a heart face shape. Their jaws compared to others are so wide that they give the illusion that they’re the widest parts of their face, but they’re not. In any picture of Timmy, it’s obvious his jaw is wide, but it’s not wider than his cheekbones or forehead that the jaw tapers up to. It’s a textbook heart shaped face.

Cillian’s jaw is also wide but his cheekbones are wider. They’re the most prominent part of his face. His forehead and jaw are about the same width.

The point is that for both of these men, their faces don’t expand the lower they go. They have wide jaws, but they’re not the widest parts of their faces. Not triangular.

Love Matty, the more Matty content the better!

Bro loves balance even more than Thanos

[luckyday]

I’ve always suspected I was a perfect blend of Chalamet and Styles, thanks for confirming
