Angular faces are more linear than curved, and are denoted by defined lines and clean-cut, chiseled features. Faces with features such as distinct cheekbones, a strong jawline or a narrow forehead or chin fall under the umbrella of angular face shapes.
Face shapes that fall in this category are square, triangle and diamond.
Frame Tips
To soften angles, look for oval frames like movie star Diane Lane's. Narrow, rounded frames with temples in the center will add balance to your face
To offset a narrow chin or forehead, look for frames that are wider than they are deep. Frames that have strong horizontal lines and bold colors, like star Guy Pearces' frames, will broaden the face. Also, look for decorative and contrasting temples to add width.
To highlight eyes and cheekbones, try bold colors or uplifting temples. With detail on the top rim of the frame you can help draw attention up and soften the appearance of the cheek and chin areas.
