Know your style - Get the Perfect Shades for you !!

DISCLAIMER:- This post is not completely mine. I researched on this topic and got the information from different reliable sources on the internet.

They say that eyes are the gateway to the soul, and also a beauty tool women have been using since the dawn of time to their advantage. But nowadays, hiding your peepers behind a pair of knockout shades can add a mix of magic and mystery that can't be resisted. Infact, sunglasses don't only protect your eyes from the sun's rays; they are also elegant accessories. Choosing the right pair will showcase your style, accentuate the contours of your face and give you a distinctive touch of glamour.

To help you find the most flattering frames to suit your face, I found this cool and simple guide.

OVAL FACES:-

Women with this shape usually have a narrow chin and high cheekbones, it is the most coveted of all face shape and it looks good in a multitude of different sunglasses styles. Celebrities with this shape include actress Jessica Alba, Megan Fox & Jennifer Aniston. Although oval faced women will find it easier to find a right match, avoid extremely large frames that will overpower your small face. Remember that the frame of the sunglasses should always be in proportion to the size of your face.

ROUND FACES :-

Much like a cherub, these face types tend to be full, with equal lengths and width and little to no angles. Celebrities with round faces include Selena Gomez, Adele Laurie Blue and (my favorite) Amy Adams. If your face is round, it's important to choose frames that are opposite in shape, like rectangle or square, to add angles to your appearance.

Wide frames also help balance the fullness, and you can also try cat eye styles to add a visual lift. However, avoid frames that are curvy or circular, which will only enhance your round features.

LONG FACES :-

A long face consists of high cheekbones, a strong jaw line and raised forehead, with a narrowing from the top of the forehead to the chin and rounded edges, much like celebrities Sarah Jessica Parker, Blake Lively and Liv Tyler. Women with this face opt for wide frames to create balance, adding width and making the face appear shorter. You can also choose contrasting colors, or an embellishment at the temples as well as wrap-around frames for the same effect. Avoid narrow or small frames, as they only emphasize length.

HEART-SHAPED FACES :-

A heart-shaped face has a wide forehead, high cheekbones and a narrow jawline or pointed chin, which can be seen on the likes of  Reese Witherspoon, Meester Leighton and Halle Berry. The right sunglasses for you will broaden the appearance of the jawline and minimize the width if the forehead. The best styles are wider at the bottom, or fuller all around. Also try rimless frames, especially in light colors, since they will highlight your cheekbones and draw the eye away from a wide forehead. Steer away from small, embellished or decorative frames, as they will only accentuate the broadness of your upper face.

SQUARE FACES :-

Characterized by a broad forehead, prominent jawline, and a wide chin and cheekbones, celebrities with this face shape include Anne Hathaway, Kim Cattrall and Angelina Jolie. Women with these attributes tend to have a regal and poised aura. If you fall into this category, you need to pick frames that offset the square lines of your face to soften and balance the strong jawline. Look for round, oval or curved frames, and any frame that sits higher on your face. Cat-eye sunglasses will also help balance a wide jawline. Avoid boxy square frames, which will only highlight that square shape even more.
