Round. Rounded faces have soft foreheads and chins, without any angles. A round face looks best with frames that will add angles and definition to the face. Rectangular frames stabilize the softness of the face. Strong colors are also a good selection.
To balance out a heart-shaped face, select smaller sized frame designs without detail and a lower-set temple. Rectangular, square, and aviator frames will certainly all work with this face shape.
Oblong. Oblong faces have square chins with a face that is longer than it is broad. Oblong faces look best in round, square, or rectangle-shaped frames, as well as details on the temples. Look for frames that include width to counterbalance the face.
