Choosing The Perfect Sunglasses For Your Face Shape (Part 1)

Sunglasses for women are not just a summer accessory. They are a year-round necessity. Not only do they protect your eyes from the sun, but they also help to improve your appearance. When choosing sunglasses, it's important to consider your face shape. 


Different styles of sunglasses look better on different face shapes. In this blog post, we will teach you how to measure your face and find the best sunglasses for your unique shape! Keep reading.


How To Measure Your Face Shape

To figure out what size and shape your face is, stand in front of a mirror and follow these steps to measure your face:


N°1 Measure Cheekbone to Cheekbone

To find the top of your cheekbone, place the end of a tape measure just below your eye. Measure the distance from this point to the same point on the other side of your face. This measurement determines how wide your face is.


N°2 Measure Jaw Line

To find where your jawbones start, take a look at your cheeks. Once you find that point, measure from one end of your jawbone to the other around the bottom of your face. 


N°3 Measure Face Length

Measure from the top of your hairline down over the front of your nose to the bottom of your chin. This measurement is your face’s length.


How To Determine Your Face Shape

Now that you know how to measure your face, it's time to find out what shape it is!


  • Round Face: A round face is as wide as long with soft, curved lines. 
  • Heart Face: A heart face is widest at the forehead and narrowest at the chin. The jawline is typically soft and round.
  • Square Face: A square face is as wide as long with a strong, defined jawline.
  • Oval Face: An oval face is slightly longer than wide with a rounded jawline.
  • Diamond Face: A diamond face is widest at the cheekbones with a narrow forehead and chin.
  • Rectangular Face: A rectangular face has a strong, defined jawline that is longer than wide.

To find your face shape, compare your measurements to the shapes below. If you're between 2 shapes, that's OK! You can choose sunglasses that flatter both of your features.


How To Choose The Best Sunglasses For Your Face Shape

Once you have determined your face shape, it's time to pick the perfect pair of sunglasses!


Round Face

To make a round face appear thinner and longer, look for glasses that sit high on the bridge of the nose and are wide or cat-eye shaped. Avoid glasses that are too round or sit low on the bridge of your nose, as they will make your face look even rounder.


Heart Face

To make a heart face appear more balanced, look for glasses that sit low on the bridge of your nose. You can try cat-eye or oval-shaped glasses. Avoid glasses that are too wide, as they will make your face look even narrower.


Square Face

To make a square face appear more balanced, look for glasses that are wider than tall. You can also try round or oval-shaped glasses. Avoid glasses that are too square or sit low on the bridge of your nose, as they will make your face look even squarer.
