What Eyeglasses Suit Your Face Shape

Some websites allow you to virtually "try on" eyeglass frames on an uploaded photo.

Some Pointers To Help You Find Your Best Eyeglass Frames:

Find the perfect fit

Consider these tips:

The frame should follow your eyebrow closely

Your pupils should be in the center of the frame

Your eyeglass frames should feel comfortable without pulling or pinching your face






Pick the best frame colour for your skin tone



First determine if you have a warm or cool skin tone.
You can also visit a cosmetics counter to find out.





As a rule of thumb.

Match the color of your frames with your skin tone.

Warm Skin Tones should be matched with warm frame colors

Cool Skin Tones should be matched with cool frame colors

If your skin tone is cool:

Choose frames that are black, blue-gray, pink, magenta, amber, charcoal, pewter or silver.

Dare to try blue frames and complementary colors such as white, shiny black, plum, or mauve.

Go for enamel, brushed or shiny silver metallic frames.

If you want tortoiseshell frames, choose dark and amber colored frames.

Green particularly suits redheads.

If your skin tone is warm:

Try frames that are coral, orange, white, peach, gold, copper, red, beige, aqua, tortoise or honey colored.

Yellow is also your color, khaki, navy, red, orange and ivory also work well, as do golden, brown, copper and bronze frames.

Remember dark skin can get away with bright colors better.
