OBLONG FACE
SQUARE FACE
A square face usually means a strong jaw and forehead, the aim here is to soften the angles and make the face look longer. For this you should look towards oversized curvy styles, or once again the ever classic aviator. If you have strong features we say the bigger the better - choose a curvy style for a feminine look, or go girly with butterfly rims. Remember, go oversized and glamorous.
HEART FACE
A pointed chin, high cheek bones and wide forehead call for a more quirky, retro style. Cat eyed frames are a great feminine choice, but for the ultra girly look we think butterfly rims are the ultimate choice.
ROUND FACE
With a round face comes a soft shape. You want to go for definition here to slim the cheeks so pick a frame with a rim which is wider than your face. Soft but angular styles will pull your temple higher, lengthening your face and breaking up the roundness. Go for a square or angular frames - avoid rounded frames that will make your face look bigger.
OVAL FACE
An oval face with a rounded forehead is the shape everyone looks to, so count yourself lucky as any style will work here. You can really go all out here and go for the latests trends. You can't go wrong however with larger frames, they will accentuate your cheekbones and give a slimming look - anything to small will squash your face.
