| the Triangle Face has a narrow forehead and prominent jaw (think Jennifer Anniston). Your goal here is simple: enhance your subtlest features and deflect attention from your prominent ones. Since you have an impressive jaw, shift focus upwards by wearing readers that have broader and/or more colorful upper halves, such as cat-eyes or aviator shapes.. |

| the Square Face has a strong jawline and equally broad forehead. Like Sandra Bullock, your square jaw and brow make you look tough, trustworthy, and maybe just a little stubborn. Rectangular frames will exaggerate those qualities, which is fine if you happen to be a superhero or TV detective. To soften your image a balance your features, pick frames that are slight rounded at the edges. |

| the Diamond Face has high, dramatic cheekbones and a narrow brow and jawline (think Scarlett Johansson). Your to-die-form cheekbones make your face exotic, so you can choose to either compliment them with equally dramatic frames, or contrast them with a quiet rimless style. To ensure that frames fit right, smile wide when you're trying them on -- if the bottoms of the lenses make contact with your cheeks, you need a narrower pair. |

| the Round Face has soft curves with similar width and length. Good news: Because we tend to associate round faces with youth, you'll probably always look a good 5 years younger than you are. (Catherine Zeta-Jones is a round and she still looks 30). But to command respect, you might want to contrast those sweet cheeks with some sophisticated angles. Choose narrow frames with angular edges. |

| the Heart Face is broadest at the forehead and narrowest at the chin. Reese Witherspoon is a good example. With its delicate jaw, this face shape is the most feminine of all. Big, heavy glasses will obliterate your features, so don't even look at cat-eyes or wrap-arounds. Instead, opt for thin light metal or clear plastic frames that have broader bottom halves, or choose a translucent or rimless style. |
