Which glasses suit your face shape?

Here is a guide to the five main face shapes - and which glasses suit which shape.

Round - People with round faces - such as Elton John - have wide foreheads and rounded chins. If your face is this shape

Sharezah recommends that you choose glasses with an angular shape, to break up the roundness of the features. She also recommends that you choose glasses that are wider than they are deep. 'This is because round faces tend to be short,' she says. 'Deep glasses on a round face will hide more of the face and so make it appear even shorter. Glasses that aren't as deep will make the face look longer.'

Heart-shaped - If you have quite a large forehead and a neat, heart-shaped chin, you probably have a heart-shaped face like Jennifer Aniston. This shape of face can suit both round and angular glasses as it contains both angular and round shapes. Avoid glasses that are wider at the top than the bottom, however, as this could make your face appear 'top heavy'.

Oval - You're in luck if you have an oval face, like Natalie Appleton. This type of face is considered to be a well balanced shape because it is usually softly rounded with high cheekbones and can usually take round or angular glasses.

Square - Square-faced types like Sophia Loren usually have broad, deep

foreheads, wider jawlines and square chins. Because their faces are angular they suit rounded or oval shaped glasses to soften their look.

Oblong - If you have an oblong-shaped face like Ulrika Jonsson you should avoid small or narrow square-shaped glasses. Wider frames look much better than narrow frames as they break up the length of the face. Square shaped glasses only emphasise the angular features of the face.
