How to determine your face shape and select a suitable frame which suits your face.

a) Look at a photo of yourself that has the hair off the face.
b) Compare your photo to the face shapes below.

Even though your face may not be an exact match of any single shape, it will resemble one shape over all.

	SQUARE SHAPE Wide forehead, cheek and chin area. This jaw is relatively angular in appearance. CORRECTION Soften angles, add lenght if needed. FRAME If the frame is slightly wider then the face, it will cause the face to appear narrower.Round, hearted shaped or rimless frame are a good choice to balance out this face shape


	DIAMOND SHAPE Forehead and jawline are narrow with wide and high cheekbones. CORRECTION This is the hardest face shape to correct. Extend forehead and chin area, minimize temple area. FRAME Butterfly fram is the best because of the extension of the top and bottom edges. Other style that look good are square or a combination frame.


	OVAL SHAPE What most consider to be a well balanced face. The top half balances the bottom half. CORRECTION If the face is full, lengthen it. If the face is thin, refer to oblong. FRAME Any style look good on this face shape,except extreme geometric design.


	ROUND SHAPE Large curved forehead with rounded chin, face, looks full, very few angles. CORRECTION Slim face, add length. FRAME Square is the best frame to balance out this face shape. If frame is slightly wider then the face, it will appear slimmer.
