Your face features make you who you are. With these determining factors, choosing your next eyewear should never be a hassle nor should it be frustrating. Whether it’s prescribed by the ophthalmologist or for fashion, trying to find the perfect pair of glasses should feel fun!

Different frames suit different features of our face, but sometimes, we can’t decide it on our own. Different glasses may suit different occasions, eye and hair color, even gender as well. And of course, one of the most basic things we need to consider is the shape of our faces.

Here’s a complete guide to finding the perfect eyewear that best suits your face shape and skin tone.

Round Face

Both men and women with round-shaped faces might explore wearing squared-off angles like rectangle frames.

With your face being widest across the cheekbones, round-faced women can try finding cat-eye frames.

General tip for this face shape is that the frame of the eyewear should reach above the cheekbone and the frame should be wider than it is tall.

Heart Face

Heart-faced men and women have their jawline as the narrowest point making rectangle, round and oval frames suit.

Another good option is cat-eye frames and Aviators, and other D-shaped frames to make sure the eyewear is wider than your brow.

These frames will add width to your chins as well.

Oval Face

Being the “universal” face shape, almost all frame shapes can suit.

With oval face being longer, best frames that suit will be the rectangle and square glasses.

Bold and oversized frames will work as well. Cat-eye frames will also fit this face shape.

Square Face

The major tip for this face shape is to add sharp angles.

These frames can be curved like oval glasses and Aviator frames. Angular cat-eye frames and square wingtip frames will so make your face stand out.

With a wide forehead and cheekbones, the face will look best with thinner frames to give emphasis on the brow line.

Triangle Face

Round style frames will emphasize angular features of the triangle faces.

To be able to elongate the narrow forehead and to balance the wider jaw, cat-eye glasses can also be an option.

Considering your skin color will help you choose the color of your next eyewear.

Cool-Toned Skin

Black frames can sometimes be too dark and so with cool skin types, it is always best to go with green, gray and clear frame colors.

In these frames, it will give emphasis to your skin tone and, of course, give way to show your naturally rosy complexion.

Neutral-Toned Skin

Luckily, neutral skin tones can go with any color.

Traditional tips include using bright colors or to keep it low-key, use black and neutral colors.

Warm-Toned Skin

Bright colored frames best suit warm skin types. Frames like red, orange, gold and yellow can be your top choice.

But to be able to give a sallow cast and boldness, you may also use black frames.
