Why Face Shape Matters When Choosing Prescription Glasses

Selecting frames that complement your face shape can enhance your natural appearance and provide optimal comfort. The right glasses highlight your best features and add harmony to your overall look. That’s why our opticians at Innisfil Eye Center are dedicated to providing personalized guidance during every eyewear selection.

How to Determine Your Face Shape

Before diving into styles, stand in front of a mirror and gently trace your face’s outline with a washable marker or use a selfie for reference. Most faces fall into these categories: round, oval, square, heart, or diamond.

Best Frames for Round Face Shapes

Round faces have fuller cheeks, a broad forehead, and a soft chin. The aim is to provide definition and elongate your face.

Top recommendations from our Innisfil frame collection:

• Angular frames: Rectangular or square styles break up the natural curves and add structure
• Bold colours and patterns: Draw attention and add excitement
• Cat-eye glasses: Add height and enhance cheekbones Avoid round frames, as they can emphasize roundness.

Flattering Frames for Oval Face Shapes

Oval faces are balanced, with slightly wider cheekbones and a gently curved jawline. Most frame shapes work, but proportionality is key.

Local favourites for oval faces:

• Rectangular frames: Add contrast to gentle curves
• Wayfarer styles: Classic look for versatile wear
• Oversized frames: Accentuate natural balance without overpowering features Keep your frames as wide as, or wider than, the broadest part of your face for optimal fit and appeal.

Ideal Glasses for Square Face Shapes

Square faces have strong jawlines, wide foreheads, and broad cheekbones. Soft, rounded frames add contrast and soften sharp angles.

Top prescription glasses at Innisfil Eye Center for square faces include:

• Round or oval frames: Soften angular facial lines
• Rimless or semi-rimless designs: Lend a lighter, softer look
• Curved or upswept styles: Add subtle definition and create balance Avoid boxy and highly angular frames, which may emphasize squareness.

The Perfect Frames for Heart-Shaped Faces

Heart-shaped faces feature broad foreheads, high cheekbones, and narrower chins. The goal is to balance the forehead and soften the chin area.

Recommended styles from our Innisfil eyewear experts:

• Bottom-heavy frames: Add width below the eyes
• Oval or round frames: Draw eyes downward, balancing facial width
• Light-coloured or translucent frames: Soften strong features Steer clear of oversized frames that may overshadow delicate jawlines.

Best Frames for Diamond Face Shapes

Diamond faces have narrow foreheads and chins with wider cheekbones. The aim is to highlight the eyes and soften cheekbone width.

Popular options locally:

• Cat-eye or oval frames: Emphasize eyes and soften cheekbones
• Top-heavy frames: Broaden the look of the forehead
• Stylish detailing along the brow line: Draws focus upward
