Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror to see what messages you've unknowingly been giving off to those around you?

Face-reading experts believe the shape of your face can reveal basic personality traits and determine your overall approach to life.

'Your face is saying something,' expert Jean Haner, author of The Wisdom Of Your Face, told Cosmopolitan. 'You're born with with features you have for a reason. The face is a map of your personality as well as your whole life.'

American singer Taylor Swift, 25, has a diamond-shaped face, which is characterised by being pointed towards the forehead and chin but wide in the middle

Although many people don't have a distinct face shape (for example, it could be a mix of oval and diamond-shaped), some do have one that is instantly recognisable.

Ms Haner reveals what your face shape says about you, based on her studies in 3,000-year-old face reading derived from Chinese medicine.

DIAMOND FACE SHAPE

Singer Taylor Swift, 25, and actress Ashley Greene, 28, have this common face shape. It is characterised by being pointed towards the forehead and chin but wide in the middle.

'This refers to someone who likes to take control and wants things a certain way,' Ms Haner told Elle UK. 'They're also very detail-oriented and because of that they produce quality work.'

She adds someone with a diamond-shaped face 'communicates well' and is 'precise' with their words. However, this person could be 'sharp' if crossed the wrong way.

London-born TV personality Kelly Osbourne, 30, has a triangle-shaped face. This means the face is narrower at the forehead but wide at the jawline

OVAL FACE SHAPE

People with oval faces are practical, methodical and overachievers in their careers.

This appears true for American hit maker Beyonce, 34, whose face is longer than wide and she has a jaw that is narrower than her cheekbones.

Ms Haner added to Elle UK that people with oval face shapes are also compassionate: 'This person always knows all the right things to say, so they can make someone feel welcome and comfortable.'

TRIANGLE FACE SHAPE

London-born TV personality Kelly Osbourne, 30, has a triangle-shaped face. This means the face is narrower at the forehead but wide at the jawline.

Men and women with these faces tend to be artistic, creative and sensitive but also fiery.

'This shape means you usually want to be in charge,' said Ms Haner told Cosmopolitan. 'And the more narrow your forehead is at toward the top of the person's head, the more they have to be in control.'

She said people with triangle face shapes are usually 'very successful'.

SQUARE FACE SHAPE

Men and women with square faces tend to possess a sharp wit and analytical mind.

American actresses Mena Suvari, 36, and Sandra Bullock, 51, have this shape, which is characterised by a wide hair and jaw line.

'It typically refers to someone who is really gung-ho and into taking on huge projects because they have so much stamina,' said Ms Haner.

HEART FACE SHAPE

A heart face shape is characterised by a wide forehead and narrow chin.

Both actress Reese Witherspoon, 39, and reality star Khloe Kardashian, 31, have this shape.

'It speaks to someone who has incredible inner strength but can also be stubborn because they are so strong-minded,' said Ms Haner. 'They're like little energizer bunnies. But their strength is not from stamina, it's about inner power.'

Other common personality traits include being 'pushy', having 'a strong intuition' and being 'very creative'.

RECTANGLE FACE SHAPE

People with this type of face value logic and are really good thinkers.

American actress Lucy Liu, 46, has this shape, which is squared off at the forehead and chin.

'They're usually planners in some way and don't often talk about their feelings,' said Ms Haner. 'However, they do work out regularly—they have to work off inner tension that results from constantly living in their own heads.'
