A pair of glasses can just subtly make your face look different. The frames also lead the eye, create proportions, and emphasise details that already play in your favour. Without drastic effects, a considered decision can be used to soften angles, give form to or make things slimmer. This is not the act of concealing your face. It is about complementing it. Minor details in design, such as width, colour, form and positioning, will affect the movement of the eye through your features. Glasses are comfortable and self-assured when properly selected. They match your style rather than crushing it. Minor changes tend to bring the best outcomes.
Choose Angular Shapes
Angular frames give shape to more tender faces. The straight lines bring contrast and lead the eye up and down. The effect makes them less round and makes them look more defined without trying out or using heavy makeup.
Opt for Dark Upper Rims
Darker-framed top rims attract the eye upwards. It harmonises faces and provides an uplifting effect. The face is longer and more civilised, particularly where the lower rim is lighter or skinnier.
Avoid Oversized Frames
Faces are swamped by huge frames. Proportion matters. Frames that fit well in your face width are balanced and not overcrowded, which makes the face look even neater and slimmer.
Select Narrow Bridges
There is a small bridge that brings the eyes in closer proximity. This gives a focused appearance and narrows down the facial breadth. It is good on wide-looking faces that feel broad either in the nose or cheekbones.
Go for Thinner Temples
The narrow temples make the sides of the face look smaller. This allows the eye to stay focused forward and prevents the addition of width around the temples, which causes the face to look wider.
Use Neutral Colours
The neutral tones are in harmony with the skin and hair. They are not full of the high and low contrasts that accentuate breadth. The balanced and sophisticated look is backed up with soft blacks, purple-browns, and dull metallics.
Match Frame Width Carefully
Frames must not stick out past your face. Features should be proportionate, which is achieved through proper alignment. This is just a basic rule that does not make the face look bigger than it is.
Choose Slightly Taller Lenses
Moderate lens height can provide vertical balance. This stretches the face in a subtle manner. Lenses that are very short compress features, and the height that is balanced is harmonious and flowing.
Keep Frames Light on the Lower Edge
Limited details on the lower rim help to decrease visual weight. The cheeks are less heavy in the face. This design option helps to create a more streamlined and cleaner impression.
Consider Gentle Curves
Balance is brought about by soft curves that are not overly rounded. They flatten out sharp lines without being disorderly. This medium is a flatter of a great variety of forms of faces.
Ensure Proper Fit
A frame of the correct shape fits into position. Squeezing or tight frames are distracting to your appearance. A good fit ensures that lines are clean and helps in achieving the desired slimming effect during the day.
