We all know its hard shopping for that right pair of eyeglasses and sunglasses, but using theses easy tips you will be on your way to finding that perfect pair of glasses that fits to your face shape.
The Round Face Shape: People with round faces have wide foreheads and round chins. Rounded faces tend to be short in height and lack any dramatic angles. The round face have soft curves, full cheeks and a round chin. Celebrates with round face shape are, Christina Ricci, Drew Barrymore, and Kate Winslet.
TIPS — To find the right frame for this face shape, choose glasses that are wider than they are deep. If you wear glasses that are deeper, your face will appear even shorter. When you choose a wider style, your face will appear longer. Try angular and narrow frames. This will add definition to your facial features. Stay away from those big round glasses, they will make your face shape look even more round. Try sticking with deep colors like black or tortoise. Those colors will help minimize the roundness of your face.
The Heart Face Shape: People with heart shaped faces have a large forehead, a narrow jaw line, high cheekbones and a narrow chin. Celebrities with a heart shaped face include Ashley Judd, Tyra Banks and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
TIPS — To pick the right glasses that fit this face shape, choose frames that are wider at the bottom, this helps to offset the narrow chin. This face shape works well with both angular and round glasses. Lighter colored round frames can balance and soften the wide forehead. Rimless and Cat-eye glasses are great for balancing this face shape. Avoid large frames and bold colors.
The Square Face Shape: People with a square face shape have a strong, prominent jaw line, a deep forehead, wide cheekbones and a broad, square chin. This face shape is extremely angular. Celebrities with this face shape include, Sandra Bullock, Jessica Simpson, and Demi Moore.
TIPS — When choosing glasses for this face shape, try frames that are wider than they are deep. Glasses that are round or oval will counteract the strong angles that are already present with this face shape. These frames will also soften and more curves to your face. Narrow, oval frames minimize your angular features. Be adventurous and try cat-eye or butterfly style frames. These again will soften and create curves to your face shape.
Stay away from those square shaped frames!
The Oval Face Shape: An oval face shape is considered to be the best face shape because it is well balanced. People will oval face shapes have a narrow forehead and jaw line, with a chin slightly narrower than the forehead. Oval faces normally have high cheekbones as well. Many times oval faces come with smaller facial features. Celebrates with this face shape include, Sarah Michelle Geller, Cameron Diaz, and Brittany Spears.
TIPS — If you have an oval shaped face, you are lucky! Oval faces are he easiest face shape to find glasses for. Oval faces can wear practically any frame, round or angular. To keep those great proportions in check you might want to choose frames that are as wide as or wider than the broadest part of your face. Avoid frames that are oversized, they will take away from your great features.
The Oblong Face Shape: This face is much longer than it is wide. Sometimes an oblong face shape will have a long nose, a talk forehead and a straight vertical line associated with the cheekbones. Celebraites with an oblong face shape are, Paris Hilton, Liv Tyler, and Sarah Jessica Parker.
TIPS — For the best look, choose frames that are wider as these will break up the face’s length. For the oblong face shape you want to cover as much of the center of the face as possible. This will minimize its length. Go with wider frames that are also “tall” top to bottom or have a good bit of depth. Avoid small, narrow, square-shaped frames. Those types of frames will emphasize your angular features.
The Triangular Face Shape: This face is narrower at the forehead and gets wider at the cheeks and chin. Celebrities with this face shape are Bette Midler and Geena Davis.
TIPS — Choose frames that are going to take the attention to the top half of your face. Good choices include semi-rimless glasses and frames that are heavily decorated on the top half of the frame. Cat eye frames are ideal for this face shape because it draws the eye upward and makes the face seem more balanced. Stay away from bold colors.
