Tips to Choosing Eyeglass Frames That Suit You
First of all, you need to check out what type of eyeglass
frame best complements your face shape. Then, determine your
skin tone, either warm or cool in order to choose the right
eyeglass frame color.
So, why does it matter? Those who are new to wearing eyeglasses
or who realize that eyeglasses add a whole new dimension to
the facial structure understand that with choosing eyeglass
frames is more involved than it seems. It is as important
as a right or wrong hairstyle. According to the experts, certain
eyeglass frames and colors look most flattering on certain
facial types.
Do you know your face shape?
Pull back your hair and take a good long look in the mirror.
Which shape your face belongs to?
1. Round - The round face is full with few angles. The cheeks
are wide, but cheekbones are barely obvious. Steer clear of
round, dark-colored eyeglass frames as they can make the face
seem large and heavy. Rectangular or boxy shapes work best.
High temples add length.
2. Square - The square face is as wide across the forehead
since it is along the jaw line. Choose round or gently curved
eyeglass frames made of thin metal to soften the angles.
3. Oval - Similar to an egg, the oval face is narrow at the
forehead and at the chin and wider in the area of the cheekbones.
This perfectly balanced shape face will work well with any
style of eyeglass frame.
3. Heart - Heart shaped face is wide at the forehead and
progressively narrowing down to an angular chin, select eyeglass
frames that are narrower on top and wide at the bottom to
balance this face shape. Rimless styles and light colors are
good choices.
4. Diamond - Typically naarrow forehead, angular chin and
wide temples, diamond-shaped faces look best in small top-heavy
eyeglass frames which are geometric or oval or a combination
of both. These shapes help lessen the width at the temples.
