Balancing Your Face

The main idea behind choosing the right glasses frames for your face is that you are trying to create a balanced look. The size and shape of the frames you choose can make your facial features look more balanced. Take a moment to evaluate your features. You may have a wide forehead, a prominent chin, etc. When you see what could be better balanced, you can choose frames that will help. For instance, a wide and prominent chin can be balanced by frames that are thick and wide.
 

Creating an Oval

The ideal shape for a face is an oval. The frames that you choose should work with your face shape to create a look that is as close to an oval as you can get. If you have a round face, getting frames with bold, angular lines can help your face look more like an oval. If you have a square face, you can choose round frames for a curvier look. If you have a heart-shaped face, oval frames can soften and balance out the angles of the face.
