4 Common Face Shapes

Here’s a helpful primer for starters: There are four general face shapes, and for each of these shapes, there are common traits.

• More angular lines, equally wide cheekbones, forehead and jaw.
• Semi-rimless or round styles can help balance a prominent jaw.

• Best looks are from square, round or bold geometric frames.

• Forehead and jaw height and width are roughly equivalent. Softer angles with slightly wider cheekbones.
• Horizontal or rectangle shaped frames give your face a longer appearance.
