DESIGNER'S ADVICE
ROUND FACE SHAPE
A round face has almost equal width and length. The cheeks are full, and the jawline is soft and rounded without aggressive, visible corners.
As your face type has no visible angles, I like to introduce structure and contrast through the frame design.
My advice is to choose designs that enhance your natural elegance while bringing subtle definition to the overall shape.

OVAL FACE SHAPE
An oval face is slightly elongated and balanced, with gently curved lines and no dominant angles. The cheekbones are the widest part, while the forehead and jawline narrow evenly toward a rounded chin.
Oversized or bold designs work beautifully on an oval face, emphasizing balanced features without overwhelming them.
My advice is to embrace width and statement eyewear. Do not be afraid to go for oversized frames that make your face appear wider as contrast, while perfectly complementing the natural elegance of your face.

SQUARE FACE SHAPE
A square face is defined by straight lines and perfectly balanced proportions across the forehead, cheekbones, and jaw.
Its jawline is sharp and expressive, while the chin is broad and flat.
To complement this face type, I personally select eyewear that softens these expressive angles. I favor frames with gentle curves or subtle roundness, as they create harmony, while keeping widths moderate.
My advice is to avoid designs that are too wide or aggressively angular.

HEART FACE SHAPE
A heart-shaped face has a wide forehead and prominent cheekbones that taper toward a small, pointed chin.
To bring harmony to these proportions, I find that cat-eye frames work beautifully, as they balance the width above the eyes while subtly drawing attention toward the lower part of the face.
This design helps to soften the forehead area and create a neutral, well-balanced look between the upper and lower face, and as a bonus, cat-eye frames can beautifully accentuate the cheekbones, adding an elegant and attractive touch, especially for women.

DIAMOND FACE SHAPE
A diamond face has high, wide cheekbones and a narrower forehead and jawline.
To bring softness to these defined features, I recommend eyewear with gentle curves and rounded designs.
For the best results, I avoid overly angular frames, as they can appear too harsh and compete with the natural width of the cheekbones.
Soft, flowing lines create harmony and add an elegant contrast to the face’s striking geometry. Be careful to select a wide enough frame so it comfortably fits around the broader area near the ears.

OBLONG RECTANGULAR FACE SHAPE
An oblong face is longer than it is wide, with straight, parallel sides and similar widths across the forehead, cheeks, and jaw. The chin is slightly extended, making the face appear vertically stretched.
I find that taller frames with generous lens height create the perfect contrast, visually shortening the face and bringing harmony to its proportions.
Square, oval, or softly curved designs tend to balance the length beautifully, enhancing the natural sophistication of this face type.
So, I would focus on visually taller lenses that cover a greater area of the forehead to bring contrast to the elongated shape and achieve a more balanced appearance.
