Have you decided? If you are a happy owner of a round face, then you are lucky, because then you can find out all the details on how to choose the right glasses for a round face.
How to choose points: rules for everyone
1. Do not buy a frame similar to your face shape. That is, choosing glasses for a round face, do not stop at all for round models.
2. It is preferable to choose such glasses in which the lower part of the frame would be similar to the lower contour of the eye sockets. This creates a holistic effect.

What are they, perfect glasses for a round face?
Girls with a round face shape, as a rule, are distinguished by the presence of puffy cheeks-apples and a round chin without distinct lines in the cheekbones, the length and width of the face are almost the same. Such personalities seem a little childish, attracting with their ease and naivety.
However, not all girls want to constantly look "cute", and are not averse to adding more femininity and pungency of temperament to their image. This effect is not difficult to achieve - just follow two points: buy the right glasses for a round face and apply a suitable make-up.
So, in order to add a little more femininity to your image, making it more perfect, you need to visually narrow your face, visually "stretching out" the wide middle and lower parts of the face.
The right round face glasses
Glasses for a round face, of course, should be wide in shape, and protrude a little beyond the contour of the face. This technique visually stretches the oval of the face, making it more charming. One of the most successful forms is the "cat's eye", because such glasses direct your eyes to the temples, lengthening the face.
Glasses of rectangular shape and square with rounded corners will also look interesting.
Whereas square angular glasses for a round face will look too sharp.
If you want, then by all means try on several models of glasses with asymmetric shapes, when the upper part is disproportionate to the lower. Another win-win option, perhaps, for you will be points “butterfly”. This retro frame will add femininity to the image by visually stretching the shape of the face. And glasses with an emphasis on the top line of the frame, trapezium glasses will also look good.
Unsuitable round face glasses
• Any model of round glasses, including drop glasses. They emphasize the fullness of the face.
• Glasses with very narrow frames.
• Massive, too dark or bright glasses will add heaviness to the face, you need to refuse excessive contrast.
• Glasses covering part of the cheekbones.
Choose glasses for a round face by color
Choose a frame quite calm, non-acidic shades. For example, brown and all its shades are perfect for blondes and brown-haired women. Also a win-win option is a silver-colored metal frame. But remember: glasses for a round face should not contain a bright and shiny decor.
As for the color of the lenses, you should not choose too dark, but you can safely experiment with color. A good option is not too dark glass lenses in a plastic frame.
Recommendations when buying sunglasses
1. If you want to give your face a more sophisticated look, then choose glasses for a round face in which the width of the frame is equal to or slightly wider than the widest part of the face.
2. On ladies with full lips look very good glasses with large frames. If the facial features are small, then you need to buy small glasses.
3. Thin frames fit only graceful faces, and full faces increase even more.
4. In order for the face to look much more spectacular, fashionable wide glasses do not have to completely hide the eyebrows. Ideal when the eyebrow line borders the upper rim.
5. The glasses should fit you. Before buying, put them on and test them for 1-2 minutes: they should neither move to the tip of the nose, nor press behind the ears.
6. A large nose will visually reduce glasses with a low jumper, and if you want to increase a small nose, then glasses with a high jumper are your option.
7. Good points cannot be cheap. In order to protect yourself from fake, it is better to shop in company stores. On real glasses, the manufacturer must indicate how much percent the glasses protect from type A and B rays (UVA and UVB, the latter are much more dangerous). If you see the CE mark, then be aware that this model meets European quality standards. Signature glasses must be accompanied by a case and a napkin. You must be presented with a certificate upon request.
