Diamond
FRAMES TO COMPLIMENT FACE
- Oval and rimless frames
- Glasses with strong brow lines
- Wide cheekbones and a narrow forehead

FRAMES TO AVOID

- High and angled cheekbones
Objective: Balance the width of your face

FRAMES TO AVOID
- Too small frames and short frames

Oval
FRAMES TO COMPLIMENT FACE
- All styles work, try square or round
- Slightly curved/pointed jawline
- Cheekbones are high and angled
- Able to wear many different styles
Objective: Give a nice contrast to facial curves
FRAMES TO AVOID

Tip: Don't choose frames too large for facial features
OVAL FACES are often referred to as the ideal face type because of the balanced proportions
DIAMOND FACES are the rarest face type
HIGH CHEEKBONES create a “triangle of youth” effect and make a person appear young
ROUND FACES can sometimes make a person appear younger than they are
FACIAL SYMMETRY can be affected by stressors— such as toxins, disease and psychological trauma—that were faced growing up
GENES influence face shape. Researchers have identified five genes that affect face shape, and there may be hundreds more with small effects
