But our focus on this blog is to get you a pair of glasses that compliments not just your features but something that looks good on you. And don’t worry these rules are not unbreakable, because most faces are a combination of a few different shapes. Read on to know which frames of glasses for face shape would work best to emphasize your facial features.

Here is one question opticians around the world answer on a daily basis- which and what glasses for face shape?

The first step towards finding the best pair of glasses for face shape is to identify your face shape. Identify from the four most common shapes of face type mainly oval, square, heart and round by looking in the mirror and note down the widest part(s) of your face (forehead, cheeks, or jawline). And if you find that difficult, identify the celebrity face type that best matches you with the array of options available below. If you have a measurement tape, you can even determine your face shape using the techniques mentioned here

1. Glasses for Oval Face

People with oval faces are extremely fortunate; they can basically pull off any glass style. They have the most versatile face shape and almost everything looks great- round glasses, cat-eye glasses, and wayfarer glasses, rectangular and even rimless glasses. Finding frames of glasses for oval face shape can never be an arduous task; in fact, you are spoilt for choices if you have an oval face shape. Recall the beautiful faces of Julia Roberts, Beyonce,  and Jake Gyllenhaal; they are blessed with an oval face shape and can rock most styles of eyewear.

2. Glasses for Square Face

A square face has equally wide cheekbones, forehead and jaw. With minimal curves to your face, choose frames that soften the jawline other features like round glasses, cat-eye glasses. As a square-faced buyer choosing glasses for shape of face, doesn’t allow me to wander out of specific categories and trying out a shape from rectangular and square styles; those are a strict no-no for square-faced people. Think of Tom Cruise etching an iconic image with aviators and Angelina Jolie looking gorgeous in round glasses.

3. Glasses for Heart Face

A heart-shaped face is usually broad at the forehead and narrow at the chin. You probably also have a pointy chin with a large forehead. To balance the pointed chin, choose rectangular and square frames to sharpen and compliment your features. If you have a broad forehead, you can choose frames which are equally broad at the bottom. Thin and light frames will look good on you if you have a heart-shaped face.

4. Glasses for Round Face

Round faces have non-angular features with slightly heavy cheeks and an equally wide forehead and jaw. Uniquely-angled frames like rectangular, square glasses and cat-eyed glasses add contours and greater definition to the face. People with round faces should avoid wearing round glasses as it adds more weight to the already full cheeks.

5. Glasses for Oblong Face

Oblong faced people have a much longer face than you would find on other people of different face-shapes. They usually have straight cheekbones and don’t have a wide face. The goal here would be to balance out the uneven lengths of the face. Go for a pair of frames that gives a look of broadening your facial features. Wayfarers would be a good choice for you; visit your local store and look for frames that have elevated temples and give a wider appeal. There is no single pair of frames that can be recommended; your face length maybe twice the width or lesser than that and the looks may vary. One thing for sure, you will have to go for a look that shows off a wider look rather than accentuating your face’s long-faced features. Think of celebrities like Liv Tyler and Gisele Bundchen; they have oblong faces but have rocked different pair of shades over the years.

6: Glasses for Diamond Face

It is hard to find someone with a perfect-diamond face shape as this shape is of the rarest kind. If you have a broad forehead and chin with wide cheekbones, you have a diamond-shaped face. Congratulations! You have the rarest kind of face shape, one thing to be proud of.  You can choose a variety of frames here to compliment your looks; you can go for cat-eye frames or go for the newest range of browlines, those are a rage when it comes to choosing a pair for diamond-shaped faces. Even oval and rectangular frames would be a great fit for your face shape. Remember, there is nobody who can tell if a pair of glasses doesn’t look good on you if you believe otherwise.
