Our staff uses a systematic approach to finding the correct frame for your face using criteria such as face shape, colour analysis, eye positioning, skin tones, hypoallergenic concerns and more.

Here is an overview:.

Oval Face

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.

Oblong 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.

Round Face

To play down the roundness, select frames with straight or angular lines. Deep color such as black or tortoise also minimizes fullness.

Square Face

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.

Triangular Face

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 Nose

Large oversized frames are recommended for balance. Small frames will accentuate the nose.

Long 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.

Small Nose

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.

les, there are seven basic face shapes: round, oval, oblong, base-down triangle, base-up triangle, diamond and square. Her
