Although there are several things that determine how a pair of glasses will look on you, facial shape is the most obvious. The same picture may be different on people, simply because of the shape of their face. By learning about how different frames compliment certain types of face can make your shopping experience under a lot easier.
There are four basic face shapes include round, square, triangular and oval. One of the most common ways to determine the shape of your face by pulling your hair back, standing before a mirror and tracing the contour of your face in the mirror with a bar of soap or pale lipstick. When you back in the mirror, the contour of your face stays, and you will be able to say what shape it most resembles. If you have problems identifying the shape of your face, your clinic staff can help you choose a frame that is complimentary on your face.
An oval face is considered perfectly proportioned and is the easier shape of the face to find frames for. Because the face is already almost perfect alignment, almost any frame shape is attractive. However, remember to choose a frame that is in proportion to the size of the face. Executives who are too big or too small will be less attractive than a frame that is proportional to the size of the face.
If you have a round face, you want to choose a frame with a horizontal line placed at an angle, or an environment that is dark. These types of frames minimize his round face and the face look narrower. Choose a frame with a large bridge (nose). Avoid frames that have designs on the outer edge, as it draws attention on the side of the face and make it look larger. Triangular faces, heart-shaped, which are wider at the front of the chin, look best in frames that are wider or squarer at the bottom. This softens the face and reduces the width of the front. Rimless frames are also very complementary to the shape of the face. Avoid frames that sit high in the face, because it will create an unnecessary length.
If your face is square and edgy, the search for a frame that will extend your face. To do this, try frames that are slightly rounded to minimize the strong jaw line that comes with the face shape. As with a round face, you can make your face look longer if you choose a frame with a high bridge. With the wide range of spectacle frames available, it may be tempting to try a new pair. Learning about the importance of face shape on a choice of appropriate framework, it will be easier to decide what frame looks best for you.
