You know the feeling. Standing in front of the mirror, a tray of eyeglasses at your fingertips, hoping this pair will be “the one.” But something feels off and suddenly, you assess everything—your taste, your face shape or even your sense of fashion.
The truth is, finding the perfect frames isn’t about luck. It’s about understanding you: your features, your style and yes—your face shape. And the good news? You’ve just found a guide and a friendly optometrist who’s here to make the choices of eyeglasses as enjoyable as your first sip of morning coffee.
Why Your Face Shape Matters (and How It’s the Secret to Frame Bliss)
Think of your face as a canvas and glasses as the brushstrokes that bring it to life. The right frames do more than sharpen your vision—they highlight your cheekbones, balance your features and amplify your personality.
As an independent optometry practice, we at EyeSelect don’t just offer cookie-cutter advice or urge you to make rushed decisions. We’re here to help you find frames that celebrate your individuality because you deserve to feel amazing every time you put them on.
Not Sure About Your Face Shape? Let’s Find Out
Before we dive into styles, let’s figure out what kind of face shape we’re working with. Grab a mirror (or your phone camera) and take a good look. Are your cheekbones the widest part? Is your jawline sharp or soft? Here’s a quick guide:
- Heart-Shaped: Wide forehead, narrowing to a pointed chin.
- Round: Soft, equal proportions with no sharp angles.
- Oval: Balanced, slightly longer than it is wide.
- Square: Strong jawline with a broad forehead.
- Diamond: High cheekbones with a narrow forehead and jawline.
Still unsure? Don’t stress. Drop by our store and we’ll help you identify your shape during your next eye care exam.
