Oval Face Shape
If you have an oval face, you’re in luck! This face shape is the most versatile with slightly wider cheekbones and a soft narrowing at the forehead and jaw.
Go ahead and experiment with the latest looks including frames you wouldn’t usually go for.
Ideally a large frame will enhance and define cheekbones whilst detailed arms will add precision to your oval face shape.
Try to stay away from arms that sit low on the face as this can often elongate the face.
Square Face Shape
A square face shape is often defined by a strong jaw line and wide cheekbones.
Round and Aviator shaped frames are perfect for defining such bold features, whilst oversized and curved styles are also a hit.
The main rule for a square face shape is ‘the bigger the better,’ a butterfly frame can soften a strong jaw making features appear smoother.
Avoid too much detail on the arms and frame front as well as heavy brow detail which can unnecessarily sharpen features.
Round Face Shape
A round face shape means you have soft features, therefore definition is key.
The secret is to slim your cheeks with a frame slightly wider than the broadest part of your face, shapes such as squared and rectangular are ideal.
Angular styles can elongate the face and break up a round outline whilst double brow styles can offer a more defined shape to the face.
Round frames are no go as this will only mimic features rather than balancing them out.
Heart Face Shape
A heart face shape is characterized by a wide forehead and tapered cheekbones with a narrow chin.
Rectangular and square shaped frames can balance out facial features creating a softer appearance.
Stay away from frames that are wider at the top than the bottom as this will unbalance features and make them seem sharp.
