The eye glasses frame that will light up your face may not be the latest fashion design. Is it better to wear the latest fad design in your eye glasses frame or to wear the frame that makes your face look its best? In order to find the frame that will light up your face and spotlight your face it will mean using the frame that fits your face and is the best shape. This may turn out to be something that is not the latest trend.
Your first consideration in choosing the perfect frame for your face is to find a shape that balances the shape of your face. The opposite of the shape of your face is your best choice for a good look. The size you choose is however, a different consideration. The frame size needs to match the size of your face. A frame that is too big for delicate features will overpower the face. Frames that are larger will make a dramatic effect if the facial features are large enough to handle the frames. If, however, your objective is to emphasize or draw attention to delicate features then the larger frame is a good choice. Square frames are excellent for emphasizing a square jaw and drawing attention to this feature.
Faces come in basic shapes and finding the perfect frame for the face type makes a big difference in the overall look you are trying to achieve. For the oval face type, the choices are almost unlimited because this is considered a perfect shaped face and can handle almost any eye glasses frame effectively. Try them on and see which one feels good to you.
For a face shape that is considered round, the best frame would be one that will decrease the roundness of the face’s curves. This would be a frame that has square lines but not too much height. This then makes the lines of the face seem wider than round.
The heart shaped face happens when the temples and the forehead are wider and the then narrows at the chin. The best frame for this kind of face shape is one that is actually the reverse of the heart shape with the narrower part of the shape at the top and the wider part at the bottom which is a counterbalance for the heart shape of the face. This may be a little hard to find so a good alternative might be using the square shape with the bottom squared off and the top more rounded. The most flattering will be either partly rimless or rimless kinds of frames.
The square face is rather angular in its features with the cheeks, forehead, jaw line and temples all being about the same width and the length about the same also. To soften this kind of face, the rounded kinds of frame or oval frame will help. This will make the face appear to be longer than it actually is and will create an attractive addition.
When your face shape is longer than it is wide it is considered a narrow face. For this type of face shape the best choice is a frame that is wider than it is long. A frame that is wider than the width of your face will make your face look even narrower and the corrective part of the lenses will not be in the right spot to be effective. The frames that are semi-rimless will help break up the length of the narrow face.
Now you have a few choices in finding the eye glasses frame that will light up your face and enhance its positive aspects. A perfect fit of frame will also insure that the corrective lens will be in the best place on the face to insure perfect sight.
