Sorting through the answers…
Hmmm, I’m getting something…
I see…
App. Elliptic (In this case of masculeine, not feminine Egg) shaped.
Notice the formation on the left, appearing almost egg shaped. Then, redrawn on the right. It is actually the sam heart shape. But, it appears from egg formed at firt, to actually longer and flatter heart shaped. Aka; almot egg or App. elliptic shaped. Where to start identifying thefore this shape?
For starters, Christian has a very long and narrow at the same time almost round, egg-like shape. So where to start if you wanted to draw it right?

First, it helps to narrow down the “Round-like” face shape by asking this question:
Is it egg/oval or ellipse or heart appearing egg/oval shaped?
Now, the reason I ask this is because Christian has a “Round appearing shape.”
However, I have found people range from a round-flat shape. In this case of “Round” it helps to narrow it down.
Some are almost elliptic and more trilateral Whereas some are actually continuous and circular including…
- Ellipse/100% round
- Egg Shaped (Continuous all around-almost wider-square).
- Oval Shaped (Continuous all around-almost narrower to longer).
So, what is it exactly?…
Basically, his face shape is “Round appearing”.
Still, it helps to narrow down the shape by how round it actually is by seeing the difference by asking…
Is it equivocal/actually circular?
Or is it trilateral/heart shaped, full-almost rounder appearing that way?
How can you tell the difference?
There is a fine line between the two and I have found a way to figure out if a person’s face shape is actually elliptic, egg-oval shaped and not just appearing that way.
How? Just by addressing the space of the unit, if it is Equivocal aka; “Well-rounded” all around/continuous of a unit.
It always helps to not jump to the conclusion it is actually round (and continuous)
by asking these two questions to help determine if the face shape is actually circular or flatter appearing round-like:
-
How do you know if it is a “Equivocal”?
-
“Is it “Well-rounded” all around/continuous?
You can visually determine to answer both previous questions above with a simple technique I have found how?…
It’s quite simple really and I will demonstrate here with Christian’s face shape.
At first glance, you think Christian would have a “Round appearing or Oval appearing” shape because that would be the case because Christian’s face appears round-like in general.
However, if you were to trace your finger around the unit of the formation…notice how it stops short, but is close to going round and round?…
More specifically, it appears round-like, not as wide-egg shaped, almost narrow to longer, in this case, egg appearing.
If it were slightly rounder and a little more wide and rounder it would be equivocal and circular, egg shaped, very close which is a close call,
but not the case and is why I like to call it, “Heart shaped, App elliptic.”
Now, there are different ways they can appear to be which include: Round/Egg/Oval like and Christian, in this case is closest shaped therefore appearing to egg.
So, basically you can see the difference and how round it appears, but stopping short while tracing your finger around the formation of the face you can see it is slightly narrower-longer, flatter and more heart shaped or as I like to refer to as App. Elliptic (In this case egg shaped).
If you are still a little confused about this face shape and/or how I found it you can see other examples here. In addition, a timeline for another reference below showing his long-round shape. More about that below…
Looking back over the years, Christian with his long-almost rounder shaped face, from the beginning of Air Bud, to recent from Notorious appears to have a much rounder to now much wider-almost more trilateral to square shaped face at times. Allow me to show you a quick timeline to see how his face shape appears to change over the years below from young age to Early 1990s to now…
From the beginning Christian appears to have a longer-egg, now much wider-almost more trilateral to square shaped at times. Allow me to show you a quick timeline to see how his face shape appears to change over the years below from young age to Early 1990s to now…

So, how can you tell the difference if it is long and round or “” rather than one more than the other?
First, it helps to narrow down the face shape. How long-round is it exactly?
