A heart face shape has a wide top third and a narrow bottom third.

To reduce the apparent width of the top of the face, choose frame shapes that are wider at the bottom.

An oval face shape is considered to be ideal because of its balanced proportions.

Walnut-shaped frames that are not too deep or narrow are a very good choice.

A round face shape has curved lines with the width and length in the same proportions and no angles.

Frames with a clear bridge and rectangular frames that are wider than they are deep also can be good choices.

A square face shape has a strong jaw and a broad forehead, and the width and length of the face have roughly the same proportions.

Try narrow frame styles, frames that have more width than depth, and narrow ovals.

A base-down triangular face shape has a narrow forehead and widens at the cheek and chin areas.

Frames with cat-eye shapes also can be good choices.
