Ever wonder why reading glasses look great on someone else but not on you?
It usually comes down to choosing the wrong frame for your face shape.
Like any accessory, eyewear should do more than help you see, it should enhance your features. The first step is identifying your face shape to find the right pair.
Triangle
Face Shape
A triangle face shape has a narrow forehead and widens at the cheekbones and chin.
Choose frames that are wider at the top, such as cat-eye, and are heavily accented with color and detailing on the top half of the frame. This will add width to the upper third of the face, creating a more balanced look.

Round
Face Shape
A round face shape is equal in width and length, has prominent cheekbones, and does not have angles.
To lengthen the appearance of the face, square or rectangular frames with bold colors are perfect. The bold contrast to the face shape creates the perfect look.

Diamond
Face Shape
A diamond face shape is narrow at the forehead and jawline and has broad cheekbones. And like all great diamonds, this is the rarest of face shapes.
To highlight the eyes, it is best to find frames with distinctive brow lines. Cat-eye, oval and rectangular shaped frames are all great choices. Don’t be afraid to go bold. Flashy colors and styles make the eyes stand out and soften the sharp cheekbones.

Square
Face Shape
A square face shape has a broad jawline and forehead making it almost as wide as it is long.
Just as with an oblong face shape it is important to steer clear of square shaped frames. This will draw attention to the eyes while lengthening the appearance of the face. So, stick to oval or round lenses.

Oblong
Face Shape
An oblong shaped face is longer than it is wide and has a long straight cheek line.
To shorten the appearance of an oblong face non-square decorative frames with contrasting temples are great for adding width to the face.

Heart
Face Shape
A heart-shaped face is wider at the top and gets narrower at the bottom. If you have a heart-shaped face you will have a prominent forehead, high cheekbones, and a narrow chin.
It is important for those with heart-shaped faces to choose frames that are wider at the bottom, which will help balance and complement your face. Circular, light-colored frames are often good choices.

Oval
Face Shape
An oval shaped face has the most balanced proportions making it the most ideal shape to have. If you have an oval face shape your face is longer than it is wide, your jaw and forehead are rounded, and there are no sharp angles on your face.
The best readers for oval faces are readers with bold shapes and colors. Square or oval shaped readers that are wider around the eye are great for emphasizing your cheekbones and making them look more contoured.
