Chances are, they looked so great in their glasses because they understood one simple concept: face shape! Believe it or not, your face shape plays a huge role in how your glasses suit your features\u2026 or how they don\u2019t. But what is a face shape? What kinds of face shapes are there? And how do you determine which style is best for you depending on your face shape? Don\u2019t worry. We\u2019ll be answering those questions and more in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color\">Face Shapes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">There are six primary face shapes to consider when making your eyeglass selection: square, oval, heart, diamond, round, and pear. Each shape comes with unique characteristics that you typically want to enhance or balance out with your selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">\n<li><strong>Square \u2013<\/strong> A square face shape is defined by a structured jawline and cheekbones that are relatively equidistant in width. People with this face shape also typically have sharp angular forehead and chin lines as opposed to rounded curves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oval \u2013<\/strong> The oval face shape is expressed in tall rounded features. These faces are typically slightly narrower toward the forehead and chin and wider across the cheekbones. Each point on the face is rounded rather than angular.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heart<\/strong> <strong>\u2013 <\/strong>Heart face shapes are wider across the forehead and become narrower toward the chin. To better put this shape into perspective, you\u2019ll notice that the outline of this face shape slopes downward past a peak of high cheekbones and becomes more tapered toward the jaw and chin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Diamond \u2013<\/strong> Diamond faces are similar to oval in that they are wider across the cheekbones and narrower at the chin and forehead. The difference, however, is that this face shape is far more angular, with sharp lines instead of soft, rounded curves. The cheekbones here also tend to be higher.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Round \u2013<\/strong> Round face shapes are just as they seem. These faces tend to be relatively equidistant across the forehead, cheekbones, jaw, and chin. The features are very smooth and well\u2026 rounded! This face shape is accentuated by easy, flowing curves and appears quite circular.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pear \u2013<\/strong> Pear face shapes are typically wider along the jawline and narrower at the forehead. The chin curves smoothly outward toward the jawline and ascends in another curved line as it tapers toward the top of the face.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eyedealfamilyeyecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1077470-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Glasses for face shape\" class=\"wp-image-1702\" style=\"width:673px;height:379px\" width=\"673\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eyedealfamilyeyecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1077470-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eyedealfamilyeyecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1077470-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eyedealfamilyeyecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1077470-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eyedealfamilyeyecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1077470-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eyedealfamilyeyecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1077470.jpg 1917w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 673px) 100vw, 673px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong><strong>Frame Your Face With Timeless Design Styles<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every great work of art needs a worthy and compatible frame.
