subject: 4 Eyewear Tips For Heart-shaped Faces [print this page] Some of the most beautiful celebrities in the world are blessed with heart-shaped faces and lucky you! glasses can be super flattering on this type of silhouette. A heart-shaped face is defined by a broad forehead, with structured cheekbones that angle inward towards a small chin. Think Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Carrie Underwood, and Dakota Fanning. Here are a few tips to find the best pair of designer eyeglasses and sunglasses for your face shape:
1.DO go for frames that are bottom-heavy. The extra detailing on the bottom half of the frame will add width to the lower portion of your face, creating balance. Try a pair of semi-rimless frames like ProDesign 9903 eyeglasses. This style from the Danish brand leaves the top line of the lens free, while the rim frames the bottom and rises up in the center to sit comfortably on the nose.
2.DO NOT opt for styles that are top-heavy. Styles like cat-eye glasses draw the eye upward, which can make your chin and jaw area seem narrower than it is. The goal is to create balance, and a top-heavy frame will overwhelm your forehead.
3.DO get low when it comes to the temples. Frames can come with three different temple styles, set at the top, the center, and the bottom of the outer edge of the frame. Bottom-set temples can bring attention to the lower half of your face, adding a bit of width for a balanced look. There are many designer sunglasses that have this style, such as CHANEL sunglasses.
4.DO NOT wear frames that are overly accessorized on the temples, such as with beads or jewels that stick out. There are many ways to show off your artistic and playful side through your designer glasses, like through bright colors and funky patterns, but glasses that are too decorative will bring attention to the broadest part of your face, making your appearance a bit out of balance.
5.DO try out glasses that are narrow and round. This type of shape will soften the broadened forehead area and help create more proportion. Giorgio Armani 895 eyeglasses are a great choice, they are dark and sophisticated, making them a perfect accessory to any setting, whether social or professional.
