How to Find the Right Eyeglasses for Face Shape

If you wear glasses, you know that some frames just do not complement the shape of your face, no matter how much you like them before you try them on. It is important that you choose a style of frame that is not going to overpower your face. Many people do not consider their face shape when choosing their glasses, and then end up not liking them after the purchase is finalized.


  1. Determine the size of your face. This is the most important thing to consider when choosing the right eyeglass frames. If you have a smaller face, you should choose a smaller frame and if you have a large face, you will need a larger frame. Choosing eyeglass frames that do not match the scale of your face will not look right.

  2. Determine if you have a warm or cool skin complexion in order to help determine what color frames you should buy. If you are unsure of your skin tone you can easily tell from you natural hair color; most people with black or brown hair have a warm skin tone, and most people with blonde and red hair have a cool skin tone.

  3. Choose frames that complement the shape of you face as well. If you have a round face for example you should choose a pair of glasses that will help your face to look longer and taller.

  4. Try on numerous pairs of frames so that you can be certain which one you like the best. You do not want to order your glasses in a hurry only to discover that you hate them once they have come in.

  5. Get a second opinion. Bring a friend or family member with you to help choose the right frames for you. Make sure that your guest is someone who will be honest about the best frames for you.
