When it comes to eyeglasses, finding the perfect pair can be a challenging task. With so many styles and frames available, how do you pick the right one for your face? The key is to match your eyeglasses to your face shape. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the process of choosing the right eyeglasses to enhance your features and complement your style

UNDERSTANDING FACE SHAPES;

Before you start shopping for eyeglasses, it's important to determine your face shape. We have about 6 face shapes: oval, round, square, heart, diamond, and oblong. Here's how to identify each one:

1. Oval: An oval face is longer than it is wide, with balanced proportions and gently rounded edges.

2. Round: Round faces have soft, curved lines with similar width and length. They lack prominent angles.

3. Square: Square faces have strong, well-defined angles with a broad forehead, cheekbones, and a strong jawline.

4. Heart: Heart-shaped faces are wider at the forehead and narrow down to a pointed chin.

5. Diamond: Diamond faces have high, dramatic cheekbones, and the forehead and chin are narrower than the cheekbones.

6. Oblong: Oblong faces are longer than they are wide, with a straight cheek line and a sometimes longer nose.
