Choosing the Right Glasses for Your Face

Glasses are one of the most functional accessories meaning that while making you look great they actually have a function-protecting your eyes. For this reason they become a very important and useful tool so shopping for them is a high-stake decision. They can also add to your facial features by complementing them or doing the exact opposite. Finding the right shades is crucial because they are impossible to ignore. Whenever you wear a pair of shades you are making a statement and you've  got to be sure if you are making the right statement at least the one you intend to make. 

 

There are a few things to consider and they include: face shape, style.

What's your face shape like? and which should you be wearing?

These are the few face shapes we have: round, square, heart, and oval and this is how to determine your face shape if you are in doubt.
Trace the outline of your face from a photograph with either a pen or a pencil and a paper placed on top of your face on the photo. Once you have finished tracing take a look at the outline and it will be easy to know your face shape.

Now, for those with round faces this will work best. Frames of softer angles in the brow and jaw lines, rectangular frame styles. They will flatter your face, making it appear slimmer and longer. this frame will also create balance with softer, rounder facial features. Choosing frames that are narrow and rectangular with brows will pull the eye upward creating the illusion of longer face rather than just a round face.

Squared face should go for oval and round frames: A square face shape is angular with a strong horizontal jaw line, square chine and broad forehead .The purpose of the selection is to soften the sharpness, balance the angles and make your face appear longer.

If you have got the heart face then you should try to balance the width of their forehead, need to find frames that are widen at the bottom.

Then if you happen to be oval you are lucky coz you can get on with any frame there is in this world.
