Do you also have a big forehead and curves around your cheeks? Chances are you have a round-faced shape. People with round face shapes are extremely beautiful. Look at our favourite celebrities like Emma Watson or Selena Gomez, they also have round faces. A bit of styling makes their face look extremely gorgeous.

Right haircut and glasses can take your look from zero to hero in no time. They accentuate your facial features and make you look nothing but beautiful. However, what is the right shape of glasses that suits people with round faces? Well, to help you with the same, we are here with a guide on round-shaped faces and glasses that suit them. Without wasting any further time, let’s get into the details.

Figure Out Your Face Shape in 4 Steps - Round face shape

Curves. Curves. Curves. The round face shape is all about soft curves and smooth lines that define the structure of the face. Undoubtedly, the shape of the face is in the form of a circle with every feature on the face being in equal proportion. By this, it means that the width and the length of the face are equal. Besides, it is pretty easy to spot a round face shape due to the absence of sharpness and strong angles.

  • Wide Forehead

If you have a round face, you might have noticed that your forehead is wider than the other parts of the face. The hairline is broad and the forehead is wider than the jawline, giving it the shape of a semi-round face.

  • Heavy Cheeks

People with round-shaped faces will have full and round cheeks. There are no pointed cheeks or angles on either side of the face.

  • Smooth Jawline

Round-shaped-face people will have soft, smooth and slightly curved jawlines. There will be no hard lines, pointers or ‘’squareness’’. Rather, the jawline will be round looking like a curve.

How to Choose the Best Glasses for a Round Face Shape

Since there are no angles or pointers on the face, it is essential to add some angles. The purpose is to break the roundness of the face by adding some edge. With this, the face will appear a little longer and less round. Therefore, it is better to choose eyeglasses that are vertically long rather than wide in shape.

What shape of glasses complements a round face? Any shape that can give the illusion of an elongated face and add height to the face is the perfect shape of glasses for a round face. Bold, acetate frames, bright colours, prints, and brow detailing are some glasses that complement a round face shape. Also, clear, transparent, thin or rimless glasses make the eyes appear wider and the face angular.

Best Shape of Glasses for a Round Face

If you have a round face and looking for some glasses that will complement your face shape, then here is everything you need to know.

Rectangular/Square Frames

Rectangular frames or square frames with pointed angles add sharpness to the face. They will make the face appear long and reduce the roundness. The strong lines hide the softness of the face and give it more angle.
