| Compliment a square face with frames that are slightly curved. The top of the frames should sit high enough on the face to downplay the jaw line. |
To play down the roundness, select frames with straight or angular lines. Deep color such as black or tortoise also minimizes fullness. |
This shape is defined by a broad forehead and narrow mouth and chin. Frames with a thin rim and vertical lines will help balance the bottom part of the face. Frames should not sit too high on the face. Avoid large frames, heavy nose bridges, bold colors and square shapes. |
Long narrow faces are similar to square faces in that chin and cheek are of nearly the same width. Facial length, however, is far greater than the width. Frames should cover as much of the center of the face as possible in order to minimize the length. |
More frames look good with this face shape than any other, as long as the size of the frames is in proportion to the face. |
