By the timewe realised how silly it was, some of us gotglasses - this time prescription ones.Nevertheless, the main idea is to be comfortablein whichever frame you choose for yourself.Heart-shaped faces have jaw lines that taper toa defined chin. While choosing glasses forheart-shaped faces, the goal is to minimise thewidth at the top of the face and to broaden thechin. Try avoiding frames that could exaggeratethe width of the forehead or the narrowness ofthe chin.Round faces are full and don’t have stronglines and angles. The goal should be to addcontrast to the face's natural curves and toavoid frames that could exaggerate theroundness of the face. By adding contrast, youcan make a round face appear thinner andlonger. A good rule of thumb is to chooseglasses that have wider frames, which give theillusion of a slimmer face. Your face is ideal totry glasses adorned with prints, bright colours,strong brow detailing, and otherembellishments, which all add contrast anddefinition to the face. Finally, glasses with aclear bridge can make your eyes appear widerwhile adjustable nose pads can prevent framesfrom resting on fuller cheeks.Square faces typically have strong jaw lines andfacial features defined by distinct angles. Whilechoosing glasses for square-shaped faces, theidea is to lengthen and soften the face's naturalangularity and to avoid frames that enhance thesharp facial features. By adding curving lines,you can make a square face appear thinner andsofter. Rounded and upswept frames will addcurves to the face while drawing attention awayfrom the square-like angles of the jaw. Pick outglasses that are wider than they are deep (i.e.tall), as wider frames make the face lookslimmer. Another trick you can try is to selectglasses in neutral colours (cream, beige, etc.),which help soften the angles of the face. Finally,oversized frames, like Jackie-O exaggeratedrounds, help to distract from the harshness of asquare jaw line.Oval faces are thought to have the mostbalanced proportions.
