What nose shapes can you detect?

Roman, straight, aquiline, button, snub, wide, and grecian profiles, based on facial landmarks.

Why can't you tell roman and aquiline apart perfectly?

The roman–aquiline family is mostly a side-profile feature. From a front photo we only report it when the signal is strong; a side-profile photo would help.

How does the nose shape analyzer work?

It measures nose length, width, bridge proportions, and tip upturn from facial landmarks, then compares them to typical profiles — all on your device.

Is this nose shape test free?

Yes. Nose shape analysis is free and needs no account. A full multi-feature face report is available as a paid upgrade.

What is a roman nose?

A roman nose has a longer, prominent bridge that extends down from the forehead with a slight downward slant — the classic strong profile.

“Big” is subjective, but you can measure objectively: the analyzer reports nose width relative to your face. A wide result just means the bridge and nostrils are broad relative to length.

Can the analyzer tell roman from aquiline?

Sometimes — both have prominent bridges, and the curve that separates them is mostly visible in profile. When the front photo isn't clear, we show a runner-up instead of guessing.

Nose Shape Analyzer: Roman, Button & Aquiline

Q: What is a button nose?

A button nose is short and small with a round, softly upturned tip — one of the most searched nose types alongside roman.

Use this free Nose Shape Analyzer to identify your nose type — roman nose, button nose, aquiline or hawk nose, grecian, snub, or wide. Your photo is analyzed privately on your device.

Common Nose Shapes

The Nose Shape Analyzer compares common nose types — from roman nose to button nose — so you can see which profile is closest to yours.

Roman nose

A longer, prominent bridge that flows down from the forehead — often described as strong and classic.

Straight nose

A balanced, straight bridge with moderate length and width — the most neutral profile.

Aquiline / hawk nose

A prominent bridge with a slight convex curve, like a hawk's beak — also called a hook nose.

Button nose

A smaller nose with a round, softly upturned tip — one of the most searched nose types.

Snub nose

A short nose with a clearly upturned tip and a soft profile.

Wide nose

A broad bridge and nostrils relative to the nose's length — also called flat or broad.

Grecian nose

A long, very straight nose that appears to continue the forehead's line.

A side-by-side reference for the nose types the Nose Shape Analyzer classifies.

Nose type	Bridge	Tip	Profile
Roman	Long and prominent	Slightly downward, strong	Strong, classic
Straight	Straight and moderate	Natural, balanced	Neutral, versatile
Aquiline	Prominent with a convex curve	Hawk-like, often hooked	Distinguished
Button	Short and small	Round, softly upturned	Cute, youthful
Snub	Short	Clearly upturned	Playful
Wide	Broad relative to length	Wide nostrils	Bold, broad

Roman vs aquiline is largely a side-profile difference — the front photo only reports it when the signal is strong.

Roman Nose vs Greek Nose: What's the Difference?

Both are long, straight profiles, and people often confuse them. The roman nose has a gentle downward slant from the forehead; the greek nose continues the forehead's line almost perfectly straight.

Both profiles are common in classical sculpture and portrait art.
The detector reports greek and roman only when the straight-bridge signal is clear.
Either profile reads as strong and classic — not something to “fix”.

Explained

Aquiline, Hawk, and Hook Noses Explained

Aquiline (from the Latin for “eagle-like”) describes a nose with a convex bridge. Hawk nose and hook nose are common informal names for the same family.

The aquiline family covers popular searches like “aquiline roman nose” and “hawk nose”.
From a front photo, the analyzer only flags this family when the bridge curve is strong.
A side-profile photo would give the most reliable read for this family.
