What determines a client's facial shape in terms of prominence?

The prominence of a client's facial shape is primarily determined by the structure and layout of the facial bones. These bones create the overall shape and contour of the face, affecting how features like the forehead, cheeks, and jawline appear. Each person's unique combination of facial bones contributes to their individual facial structure, which defines whether their face is oval, square, round, or another shape.

While other factors such as head shape, chin line, and profile do play a role in the perception of facial features, they are not the foundational elements that create the underlying architecture of the face. The facial bones dictate the characteristics of the face that are most significantly visible and impactful, such as the width, length, and general outline of the face. Thus, understanding the role of facial bones is crucial in providing relevant makeup and haircutting recommendations that complement a client’s unique facial structure.
