MAKE IT CUTE
Fashion
Cute glasses for every girl!
Drop those contacts, chica, and get ready to find some fab new frames. The runways and celebs are are takin’ a second look and snappin’ up oh-so-stylish specs (Miley recently tweeted about her fab frames!). We spoke with licensed optician Deb Lochli-McGrath and she gave us the low-down on finding the best glasses to flatter your gorgeous face.
We found some great picks, but with glasses it’s important to try before ya buy.
Round
It may be tempting to pick a round frame because it “matches” your face, but Harry Potter specs will actually accentuate the shape of your face and make it look even more circular. Try picking a frame that is narrower and longer so it “draws the face up and down, not horizontally,” says Deb. Likewise, she recommends rectangular frames for a round face. “It will cut down on the fullness of your face.”

Oval
Almost any frame looks fab on an oval face. From boxy to circular to catty, Deb says to go for it! “Keep a natural and balanced look for your face,” she recommends. Need some more guidance? Deb says wallet-shaped specs. are particularly flattering.

Square
A square face has strong cheekbones and a broad forehead. Steer clear of boxy frames which add harsh lines to your face. “A curved and narrow style will minimize the squareness and put the length into the face. You want to soften the face,” Deb advises. “You could also try an oval shape.”

Heart

A heart-shaped face is broad at the top and narrows at the chin. You girlies should choose a pair that is wider at the bottom than at the top. Look for something that is rounder and fuller in the cheek area, too, which will help add width to the lower part of the face.
Don’t need prescription lenses? Fake frames make any outfit look smart.
