Flatter your face shape

Round A round face like Charlotte Church's has curvilinear lines with the width and length in the same proportions. To make the face appear thinner and longer, try angular narrow frames to lengthen the face or a clear bridge that widens the eyes with a rectangular shaped lens.

Oval Julia Roberts' face is considered to be the ideal shape because of its balanced proportions. To keep the oval's natural balance, look for frames that are as wide as (or wider than) the broadest part of the face, or walnut-shaped frames that are not too deep or too narrow.

Oblong If your face is longer than it is wide, like Gywneth Paltrow's, then you probably have a long cheek line and a longish nose. Make it appear shorter and more balanced with frames that have a top-to-bottom depth, decorative or contrasting temples that add width to the face or a low bridge to shorten the nose.

Diamond Linda Evangelista's diamond shaped face is narrow at the eye line and jawline, and her cheekbones are high and dramatic To highlight the eyes and bring out the cheekbones, diamond shapes should try frames that have detailing or distinctive brow lines, or try rimless frames.

Square Demi Moore's square face has a broad forehead and a strong jaw line. Soften this face shape with narrow frames that have more width than depth.
