Face Shapes
A heart-shaped face is defined by a broader forehead and narrower jawline and chin. This may appear as an upside-down triangle.
Because the width of your chin is narrower than the width of your forehead, you'll need to find a shape that balances these features. In order to minimize the width at the top of your face, choose a frame that will widen the look of your face on the bottom. Oval, rounder shapes are good for heart faces, as are glasses with a broader bottom than top. This will balance the width of your temples and chin.
An round face is defined by balanced features - cheekbones that rest higher than the middle of your face and a chin that is slightly narrower than the width of your forehead.
Many frames will look great on you, but you may want to avoid significantly rounded frames. Because the general rule is to go for frames that are shaped the opposite of your face shape, unswept corners are the way to go. They'll emphasize your cheekbones and make your jaw appear thinner and more angular.
A square face is defined by strong, well-defined angles in the forehead, cheeks, and jawline. Typically, your face is very angular from your cheekbones to your jawline.
Be sure to avoid glasses with hard lines that'll make your face look too boxy. A frame that is wider than the widest part of your face will help balance the proportion of a square face. To soften the angles in your face, go for a low-profile pair of glasses. Choosing glasses that are defined at the top will draw the eye away from your jawline.
If you have an oval face size, your face is longer than it is wide. It is typically very symmetrical, but the wrong frames can elongate the length of your face even more than you want.
You'll want to choose frames that are larger to break up the length of your face. If you have a round face, you'll want to choose darker frames that add angles, are structured, and are slim. If you have an angular face, look for a pair of rounder frames that have more depth than width. You'll want to break up the long lines of your face, so geometric frames will work well for you.
