Many people today need to purchase glasses. They don’t know exactly which glasses would suit their face best. What is important when buying glasses?

Glasses

You should always choose glasses that suit your face shape. There are different glasses for every face, they come in many different styles.

Long face

If you have a long face, you should go for frames that fill out the width. This distracts attention from the length of the face. A striking designer piece is useful to hide the spring of the face.

Oval face

All frames are suitable for an oval face. You have a real glasses face. You can choose all frames, large or small.

Round face

For a round face, wide, oval or horizontal frames with rounded corners are suitable. You should avoid around models. This emphasizes your round face.

Heart-shaped face

For a heart-shaped face, you should choose glasses where the accent is on the bottom. The frame should look airy at the top. This way your forehead automatically appears narrower. You should also not wear round glasses.

Pear-shaped face

With a pear-shaped face, you should emphasize the top of the glasses. This makes the wide jawline less noticeable. Try a frame with a top and a less noticeable bottom.

Glasses and makeup

People who wear glasses can wear striking makeup. The effect of the make-up is always weakened by the glasses. You should only apply mascara to the upper lashes, not to the lower lashes. You then run the risk of dark circles under the eyes. Glasses also enhance the dark circles under the eyes.

Plus lenses

With a plus power, your eyes are enlarged. For this reason, wear matte, dark shades of eye shadow. Do not use eye shadow with glitter particles. Irregularities such as spots and circles are more noticeable, so conceal them with concealer.

Minus glasses

Your eyes appear smaller due to the minus strength. So you have to make them look bigger with your makeup. Don’t put a line around your eyes, it will make your eyes look smaller. Try playing with light shades with a striking pearlescent or metallic sheen.

Dark/coloured lenses

With colored and dark glasses you need to create more contrasts in your eye shadow. It is nice to give your lips a striking color.

Sunglasses

Nowadays, sunglasses have become a real fashion item. The color of the lenses has also become very important. There are all kinds of glasses colors. There are even glasses that change color with light and glasses for the car. Recently there have also been degradé glasses, which are glasses where the bottom is lighter than the top. Keep in mind that quality is the most important. Sunglasses are extremely important for the eyes. If sunglasses do not provide protection, they let UV rays through and that is extremely bad for your eyes.
