The matching of face shape and glasses

Glasses not only have the function of correcting various refractive errors but also have the function of decorating appearance and covering facial feature defects. For example, a face with a long nose can be matched with a frame with an appropriate bridge of the nose, and the nose will not look so long after wearing it. Wearing dark wide-rimmed glasses can hide or cover defects such as ptosis and facial scars, with the dual effect of correction and cosmetology. So to learn to enhance their strengths and avoid weaknesses, there will always be a suitable for their own glasses, and you will also coruscate their own brilliance. 

Optional idea: draw a balanced cross so that the horizontal axis intersects the vertical axis exactly at 2/3, which makes the cross look stable and balanced; the horizontal axis intersects the vertical axis a little higher, which makes the vertical axis look longer; if the horizontal axis almost intersects the longitudinal axis at the midpoint of the vertical axis, it makes the vertical axis look thick and short. If a person’s face is also crossed, and the horizontal axis represents the eyebrows, a fairly balanced face can also be found because of the different positions of the eyebrows. For a fairly balanced face, most frame styles are suitable. For long or short faces, you have to choose a frame that makes the face look like a near-perfect cross.

The frame matches the shape of the face: a long face needs a dark glasses frame to “lower” the eyebrow line, while a short face needs a transparent glasses frame bottom edge to “raise” its eyebrow line. If you take an objective look at your chin and jaw, you will find that “lines” are one of the important references for choosing a frame. To balance the shape of a person’s face, you must follow the lines of the cheeks and jaw and match the beginning and bottom of the frame. Otherwise, it is like highlighting a certain part of the line of the face, showing the feeling of fatter or thinner cheeks.

If you want to get a good makeup effect, you must first know what kind of face shape is suitable for what kind of frame.

The box and the circle are not strictly divided, and the neutral style of “round in the square, transparent in the circle” is suitable for both young and old.

2. The key points of the matching of face shape and frame.

(1) the elliptical face is suitable for all kinds of frames.

The oval face, also known as the goose egg face, is beautiful very much in line with the aesthetic standards of Orientals. If you have such a face, congratulations, you wear all kinds of frames are more appropriate, just pay attention to the size of the frame should be proportional to the size of the face. Especially for the female oval face, it is appropriate to choose any style of frame, but not a straight line frame, that is too high and too flat.

2) the round face is suitable for slender or square frames or pear-shaped frames.

The face of a round face is shorter, so it is easy to match a slender frame with a slight curve to reconcile the overall feeling. Angular and square frames help to modify facial lines (highlight vertical lines). This can give full play to your strengths and avoid weaknesses, making your face appear obvious and more energetic!
Male round face type: it is appropriate to choose a flat or pear-shaped frame, not too round and square frame.

Female round face type: in principle, we should avoid using any extremely obvious features of the lens frame, it is appropriate to choose a slightly flat and slightly warped lens frame, not too round or linear lens frame.

(3) the square face is suitable for a round glasses frame.

People with square faces have wider cheeks, and shorter faces, and look strong, with soft facial lines. Choosing a slightly curved frame can make the face look softer and ease the cheeks that are too wide. You should choose a frame that is slightly wider than the face, which will make the face look a little slender.

(4) the shape of a rectangular face is suitable for a rectangular glasses frame.

Rectangular face because the face is longer, the frame should cover the face as much as possible, and a thick frame to reduce the impression of a long face.

Male rectangular face: it is appropriate to choose a frame with a longer ring height, such as a frame with a large height similar to a square-shaped one.

Female rectangular face: it is appropriate to choose a frame with approximate square edges and corners, and the height of the mirror circle can be higher to neutralize the over-long face.

(5) the heart-shaped face is suitable for elliptical thin-rimmed glasses.

It should be said that people with heart-shaped faces are blessed by nature and can wear many kinds of glasses, while frames with thin frames and vertical lines are suitable.

Male heart-shaped face: it is appropriate to choose the lower side of the lens circle rather than the upper narrow frame, generally do not choose the flat frame.

Female heart-shaped face: the lower side of the lens circle is smaller than the upper narrow height and upwarped glasses, in order to increase the visual length of the face.
