Sometimes neither.
The measurement is made from the edge of the strip (there are several colours on the board; the exact one used is decided by which one was touched last) to to the closest indentation in the pit; this is often the heel, but if a bad technique is used or a mistake is made, it might be from the hands' or body's mark.

What are the equipments in long jump?
In long jump the only equipment used it the rake, measuring stick, measuring tape, and shovel. The rake is used to smooth out the pit after and before a jump is preformed in order to prevent injury and to get measurements that are yours and not anyone other person's. The measuring stick is used to simply help get a measurement by placing it at the end of the jump. The measuring tape is used to get the distance. And finally the shovel is used in case the sand needs to be turned over before anyone jumps, such as if the sand is too hard.
