Face Shapes What shape is your face? Have a look in the mirror, hold back your hair if need be, and study the shape. Generally people’s faces can be a combination of different shapes, so use this information only as a guide, not as a rule.
Square Face Shape
A square face has a broad, deep forehead, wide jaw line and square chin. Choose round style frames to soften the jaw line.
TRY: Round and oval style frames with sides set at the top of the frame.
AVOID: Thin, angular and square styles, and those with color emphasis on the bottom rim.
Round Face Shape
A round face is fairly short with a wide forehead, often with full cheeks and a rounded chin.
TRY: Styles that are wider than they are deep, and square or upswept shapes that draw attention to your upper face. Choose styles with high set sides, and those with color or decoration on the temples.
AVOID: Small and round shapes and very large frames which will make your face look rounder.
Oval Face Shape
An oval face is well balanced and softly rounded; the forehead is slightly wider than the jaw, which curves gently, and the cheekbones are high. An oval face looks good in most styles, so be adventurous!
TRY: Modern small, geometric styles.
AVOID: Styles that are uncomfortable to wear or that you feel do not suit your face.
Long Face Shape
A long face has high cheekbones and a deep forehead. You can balance the face’s narrowness with the right frame style. A style with all over color will suit you.
TRY: Wide frames and those with a strong top line. A larger, square frame can give balance to a long, oval face.
AVOID: Small, square shapes.
Triangular Face Shape
This type of face shape has a comparatively narrow forehead and eye line, broadening to the jaw line.
TRY: Bold styles as they will add balance to the face.
AVOID: Small Narrow frames.
Heart Shaped Face
A heart-Shaped face has a broad forehead, tapering to a small neat chin and mouth. Choose smaller styles without decorative detail on the temples.
TRY: Slender, rounded or square styles, with lower set sides.
AVOID: Styles which are wider at the top; these will reflect the face shape rather than balance it.
