EYEGLASSES ...


EYEGLASSES
_______________________________________________________________________________
OPTICAL ILLUSIONS ...

Within the vast selection of eyeglasses to choose from, it becomes increasingly difficult to choose the right shape, colour and size to suit your face, or your lifestyle.
Picture

 ROUND FACE
 Avoid round frames as they will make you look even rounder.  Choosing a frame
 with straight sides will help to cut the curves of your face.

 A big face needs big glasses - choose them to be bold and important.  The
 frame should be weight - but be careful.  A large face will also look smaller if you
 are wearing dark frames.


Picture
SQUARE FACE
Soften a square face with round glasses and you will see the difference.

If your eyes seem too far apart, choose frames with a low thick, dark coloured bridge that covers as much skin as possible between the eyes.

If you have a long and large nose, choose a frame with a low dark bridge to make your nose appear slimmer.  On the other hand, a tiny nose needs frames with a high bridge.


Picture
   
  OVAL FACE
   Smaller glasses suit an oval face and the wider they are, the better.  If your eyes
   are close set, choose a two-toned frame that is neutral at the bridge and darker
   towards the sides.
    


Picture
     HEART-SHAPED FACE
     This face looks best with well-balanced frames that do not taper towards the 
     bottom rim.  Choosing heavy or light frames depends upon the size of your
     face. 

     Eyebrows should be covered by the frame - if you can see the eyebrows over
     the frame, it will give a permanently surprised look.


THE COLOUR
  • The colour of your glasses should complement your skin tone.  If you have pale skin you should not wear green or yellow frames.  Warm colours - pinks and browns look best.  
  • For the darker complexion, almost any colour can work.  
  • Take the colour of your eyes into account to help with the decision.

THE FIT
  • The fit must be comfortable, steady and not too heavy.  
  • Anything less than an excellent fit is not only a nuisance, but will force you to frown constantly.
  • Try on as many frames as possible before making a final decision.  
  • Look at yourself in a full-length mirror if you can, as well as a small one, to ascertain the right proportion.

MAKE-UP
  • If you are short-sighted, the lens in your glasses will make your eyes look smaller.  To compensate, use strong coloured make-up.
  • Long-sighted people wear glasses which make their eyes look larger, so eye shadows should be more subtle.
