Choosing glasses for your Face Shape:

What type of Face Shape do you have? For a number of us, it is of prime importance to look good in a pair of eyeglasses. To ensure that you select the one frame that will suit your face the best, you could try out every single frame available in the store (which is plain silly) or cut down your options wisely by identifying what type of frame suits your face structure the best.

To help you out in this process, we present to you a compilation in the following section,

Round Face – if you have a round shaped face try angular, narrow frames. This will make your round face appear less round. A round shaped face should also select a clear bridge; this will widen your eyes. The frames should preferably be wider than deep. A rectangular frame should work well.

Square Face – a square face has strong jaw lines and wide forehead. To make it look softer and less squarish, select a frame, which will make the face look slightly longer. Narrow frame style work well for a square face shape. More width and less depth is the motto for a square face shape. Narrow ovals are a good option.

Oval Face – you have reason to rejoice, if you are the proud owner of an oval face. An oval face shape is coveted because of its balanced proportions. Almost everything looks good on an oval shaped face. Broad frames (which are as broad as the widest part of the oval shaped face) or frames which are neither too deep nor too narrow work the best.

Oblong Face – if your face is longer than it is broad, it is an oblong shaped face. Oblong faces sometimes also have an extended nose and a long straight cheek line. To make it look shorter and more proportionate, select a style of frame which will have a top to bottom depth. The temples can be ornamented or can be brighter, so as to add breadth to the face. A low bridge will also allow the pronounced nose of an oblong shaped face to look shorter.

Diamond face – a diamond face will have a narrow eye and jaw line and a contrastingly high cheekbone. Being a rare shape, the Diamond face shape needs special pampering. Choose a frame with distinctive brow lines or detailing for a diamond shaped face. Rimless frames, cat eye frames and oval shapes also work well.

Triangle Shaped Face – there are technically two types of triangle shaped faces, base up and base down triangle shaped faces. The first type of face has wide upper half and narrow lower half. Frames, which are broader at the bottom, work well for this type. The latter type of face has a wider lower half and narrower upper half. Cat eye frames with heavy embellishments at the top prove to be ideal for this face structure.
No matter what the shape of your face, you can find the right pair glasses that will lend you the extra bit of panache.
