The mind shape
You can recognize a heart-shaped face by a broad, high forehead that tapers downward into a pointed chin. The contour appears present and open at the top, and fine and delicate at the bottom – often with clearly visible cheekbones and a narrow, elegant line.
How to recognize a heart-shaped face shape
high, broad forehead
the face tapers noticeably toward the bottom
pointed, narrow chin
cheekbones may stand out more prominently
often a rather narrow, delicate mid-face
the shape appears “wider” at the top and “lighter” at the bottom
This face shape can sometimes appear a bit angular or gaunt, especially when the cheeks are not very padded. It is reminiscent of the classic type of the thinker’s, intellectual, or scholar’s face.
What a heart-shaped face reveals about you
People with a heart-shaped face are impulsive, passionate, and inspiring personalities. Expressions such as “to be on fire for something” or having a “fiery temperament” illustrate that this face shape is associated with ardor, enthusiasm, and intense inner drive.
Typical traits:
burn with passion
always give 150%
people of extremes
highly ambitious individuals
possess a magnetic charisma
curious and proactive
speed is an important component in almost everything
Some representatives of this shape think unusually big or radically – in positive as well as negative ways. Behind the narrow chin there is often a great force of will, and sometimes a tendency to defend convictions very vehemently.
Well-known example:
Fred Astaire – the choreographically intellectual dancer
Emotional meaning – your mind shape
You carry an alert, curious mental force within you that sees new connections and opens spaces for thought.
In your face lies this quiet spark of originality that shows you find paths others have not even begun to think about yet.

Why this shape appears so special
The heart-shaped face combines sharpness of thinking and creativity with sensitivity in expression.
It often shows people who think differently, look deeper, ask questions no one else asks, and walk paths that may seem unusual to others.
This is where the “intellectual free spirit” is often found – the inventor, the creative mind, the lateral thinker – in the best sense of the word.

The cupid’s bow is one of the finest details of our face. Its shape shows how we live closeness, how we come across, and how strong our presence is for other people.
If you are curious about what your own cupid’s bow says about presence, attraction, and emotional expression, you will find a clear and in-depth introduction here.
Video: A conversation about personality, empathy, and what faces reveal
In this episode of FlowGrade – For Life, I speak with Max Gotzler about what Face Reading can truly offer today. We go through the fundamentals – physiognomy, facial expression, body language – and discuss how personality shows itself in the face, where the limits lie, and why empathy is the core of this work.
At the end, I read a few facets of Max’s personality from his face – in the form of a small speed reading, as a live analysis.
