Your face shape matters


Make sure that the frames you are start fell in love with matches your face shape. Here are simple tips in selecting frames for your face shape:

  • Choose a frames that contracts or complements with the shape of your face.
  • Select frames that will match the size of your face. Small frames will not fit medium sized faces
  • Look for frames that will match your features well. If you have black hair, better not to choose fluorescent pink or orange frames.

How to determine your face shape?


Not sure about your face shape? Stand in front of a mirror and use a whiteboard marker or a piece of lipstick to draw or outline your face shape. After drawing, you will notice if it is ova, oblong, diamond, triangle square or round shape. Learn more about face shape here.

The tips:

  • Oval – Oval-shaped faces are easy to balance out and look good in many styles of sunglasses frames. Basically, frames that is as wide as the widest part of your face will look the best for you.
  • Round – Look for eyeglasses frames that are wider than deep. You are to look thinner and longer when you use frames that help lengthen and narrow the face. Rectangle type frames often looks perfect for you.
  • Oblong – If you have face that is long and thin, you may want to balance it with frames that provide more depth from top to bottom. Frames that add width to your face using decorative features may work perfectly in balancing your face shape.
  • Heart or Diamond – If you are a heart-shaped or diamond-shaped, you should look for rimless frames or those with cat eye features. This will help balance the jaw line and cheeks and provide an interesting and dynamic contrast to your face.
  • Square – Typically they have strong forehead and jaw line. The goal is to narrow your features using narrow frames, including those with narrow, oval shaped lenses or those that are wider than they are tall.

Choose the best frame color for you


Always remember that frame colors should complement your skin tone. Most people look best when they buy frames that complement their skin tones.

There are two types of skin tones – cool and warm. How to decide your skin tone? Hair, eye, skin colors will help you in determining your skin tone.
