Did you know that your face shape falls into a category that determines what shape of glasses will suit the shape of your face.

So what shape is your face?



Using face shape analysis techniques, at eyeclarity we can provide an analysis to narrow down the selection of frame shapes that suit your face type.

• 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.
• 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 canter of the face as possible in order to minimize the length.
• To play down the roundness, select frames with straight or angular lines.
• Deep colour such as black or tortoise also minimizes fullness.
• 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.
• 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 colours and square shapes. Large oversized frames are recommended for balance.
• Small frames will accentuate the nose.
• Frames with high sidebars that draw attention upward toward the temples and away from the nose are a good choice.
• A double bridge helps a nose appear shorter.
• A high bridge in a light colour lengthens a short nose or a nose that is small in proportion to the rest of the face.
