You’ve been framed! Expert reveals which eyewear best suits your face shape – and if you’re an oval like Julia Roberts you can pull off nearly any look
- Face shape plays important part in picking a pair of glasses to suit you best
- British retailer Specsavers’ resident eyewear expert Bianca Sarre shares top tips
- Suggests those with square faces like Demi Moore best suit round or oval frames
- Meanwhile oval face shapes like Julia Roberts can pull off most frame shapes
- As well as face shape, skin tone, eyes and your nose affect look and feel of specs
If you wear glasses, they can really pull your whole look together if you pick the right accessory.
Your face shape plays a big part in picking a pair of glasses that will set off your features and compliment your skin tone, but how do you know which pair suits you best?
British high street retailer Specsavers’ resident eyewear expert Bianca Sarre said: ‘Not every style will work for you, so make sure you choose glasses that suit the shape of your face.
‘The theory is that you should choose frames that are the opposite to your face shape.’
Whether you are a Round like Emma Roberts, Heart like Julia Roberts or lucky enough to be an Oval like Reese Witherspoon, here Bianca shares her expert guide to getting life through a lens just right.
If you have a round face like actress Emma Stone, you’re more likely to suit angular or geometric style glasses frames
ROUND FACE LIKE EMMA STONE
Round faces are fairly short with a wide forehead and a round chin.
If like Oscar-winner Emma Stone, you have a round face, look for angular or geometric styles.
Steer clear of oval or round frames though, as those will just make your face look rounder.
OVAL FACE LIKE JULIA ROBERTS
Lucky you if you have an oval face like Julia Roberts – this means you can get away with pretty much any style of glasses
An oval face is evenly proportioned and softly rounded.
Lucky ovals like Julia Roberts suit almost every frame shape – but rectangular and geometric shapes will suit you better than round frames.
LONG FACE LIKE LIV TYLER
If like Liv Tyler you have a long face, aim for wide frames with a strong brow line at the top
A rectangular face has high cheekbones and a deep forehead.
So long-faced glamazons like Lord of the Rings star Liv Tyler should choose wide frames with a strong brow line at the top.
An all-over colour will work well, but avoid small or deep frames.
TRIANGULAR FACE LIKE JENNIFER LOPEZ
J-Lo has a relatively pointy, triangular jaw; if yours is similar, go for a bold, strong frame shape
A triangular face like J-Lo’s is narrow at the forehead and eyeline but widens at the jaw.
It needs bold, strong shapes to add balance to the face. Try to avoid small, narrow frames.
HEART-SHAPED FACE LIKE REESE WITHERSPOON
Heart-shaped faces like actress Reese Witherspoon’s suit slender, rounded or square styles of frames
Reese Witherspoon has the classic example of a heart-shaped face – one with a broad forehead which tapers to a small, neat mouth and chin.
Heart-shaped faces suit slender, rounded or square styles – but you might want to avoid frames that are wider at the top.
SQUARE FACE LIKE DEMI MOORE
If, like Demi Moore, you have a relatively square face shape, oval or round frames are likely to suit you best
American actress Demi Moore has a square face, defined by a broad, deep forehead, a wide jaw and a square chin.
Oval or round frames will balance out this face shape, while angular frames will emphasise angular features.
