How to fit sunglasses to suit your face shape

Face Shape Tutorial – getting the right fit of sunglasses to suit your face

The trick is not to just grab the latest pair off the rack, take 5 minutes reading the Star Sunglasses Face Shape tutorial and flatter your face by choosing the right style for serious specs appeal.

OVAL FACE – if your face is a perfect oval, then you’re very lucky. Any frame shape will suit you so experiment with retro shapes and decorated frames. Don’t be afraid to stand out from the crowd!
Celeb example: David Beckham.

ROUND FACE – choose a pair of frames that are slightly wider than your face to make it look slimmer. Angular frames will add definition and a pair with a high brow bar will make your face look longer.
Celeb example: Drew Barrymore

DIAMOND SHAPE – if you’ve got prominent cheekbones and a smaller forehead and chin, go for oval frames. These will soften your face as will slightly curved square frames – as long as you make sure they aren’t wider than your cheekbones.
Celeb example: Jenifer Lopez

SQUARE FACE – to suit a face with a soft jaw line and a broad forehead, try some curving or oval sunglasses that will give your face definition.

OBLONG FACE – choose sunglasses with smaller lenses to make your face appear shorter. Square frames will also work and decorative temples will add width to your features.

TRIANGLE SHAPE – if you have a narrow jaw and a wide forehead, you need to accentuate your eye area. Balance your jaw line with a pair of straight top line or cats-eye glasses that angle outwards. Pick a metal frame with a rimless bottom if you want to try something new.
Celeb example: Will Smith

Now that you know which shape best suits your face, look out for colours that will complement your skin tone. If you have warmer skin, keep an eye out for pink, gold and tan pairs. Fair wearers should try monochrome colours – choose black, silver and white to avoid washing out your skin colour.
