1. Heart Face Shape: They are characterized by a wide forehead, high cheekbones, and a narrow chin.

The goal is to find sunglasses that broaden the appearance of your jawline and minimize the width of the forehead

Aviators and oversized frames are perfect for you!

2. Square Face Shape: A square face shape, simply means a broad forehead, strong jawline, and a wide chin and cheekbones.

You should look for rounded frames that provide a soft balance to your angular features

3. Round Face Shapes: For girls with round faces, you need frames that will make your face look longer and thinner so they should be wider than they are deep!

Slightly angular frames, like cat-eye or rectangular glasses, work best.

Retro styles are perfect for you!

4. Oval Face Shapes: If you're an oval, you're the luckiest of the bunch because this face shape is perfectly balanced! You can look great in just about anything.

But you do want to keep in mind that the frames should be sized in proportion to your face.
