A square face has more angular lines with equally wide cheekbones, forehead and jaw.
Square-shaped faces should choose the opposite shape for glasses such as round or oval shape or thinner frames that are slightly wider on the side as they will soften the hard angles in a square shaped face and add balance. In addition, the frames should be proportional to the length and width of your face.
A round face shape has softer angles with slightly wider cheekbones and an equally wide forehead and jaw.
It is important for round face shapes to select frames that work to add angles; bold angular glasses with clean lines will be great on them.
A heart face is widest at the forehead and gradually narrows to the jaw.
Heart face is typically thought of as the most versatile of all the face shapes. They look great in winged-out frames that jut out slightly than their forehead and rounded bases to balance and complement their features.
If your chin is narrow, you may wish to create a bit more width with bottom-heavy frames. Light-coloured or rimless frames minimize the look of glasses on your heart-shaped face.
A triangle face is widest at the jaw and gradually narrows through to the forehead.
A mirror-opposite frame will complement a triangle face: bold on top, light on the bottom. A mix of round and angular shapes such as aviator or cat-eye glasses will fit triangular faces.
An oval face is the most versatile to fit, with slightly wider cheekbones and a gentle narrowing at the forehead and jaw.
People with oval faces fit with most frame shapes but the frame should emphasize the strong points and deemphasize the weak points of your face so that your face looks perfectly balanced. Look for a frame that is as wide as the widest part of your face, which is the area around the eyes.
