More frames look good with this face shape than any other,
as long as the size of the frames is in proportion to the face.
|
|
|
Long narrow faces are similar to square faces in that chin and
cheek are of nearly the same width. Facial length, however, is
far greater than the width. Frames should cover as much of the
center of the face as possible in order to minimize the length.
|
|
|
To play down the roundness, select frames with straight or
angular lines. Deep color such as black or tortoise also minimizes
fullness.
|
|
|
Compliment a square face with frames that are slightly curved.
The top of the frames should sit high enough on the face to
downplay the jawline.

This shape is defined by a broad forehead and narrow mouth and chin.
Frames with a thin rim and vertical lines will help balance the bottom
part of the face. Frames should not sit too high on the face. Avoid large
frames, heavy nose bridges, bold colors and square shapes.
|
|
|
Large oversized frames are recommended for balance.
Small frames will accentuate the nose.
|
|
|
Frames with high sidebars that draw attention upward
toward the temples and away from the nose are a good
choice. A double bridge helps a nose appear shorter.
|
|
|
A high bridge in a light color lengthens a short nose
or a nose that is small in proportion to the rest of
the face.
