Balanced and classically attractive, the harmony of the oval face shape comprises a chin slightly narrower than the forehead and high cheekbones. Those graced with this face shape have more freedom when it comes to choosing eyewear because they can choose to play up the angular features or tone it down with a softer look.
Frame Tips
To keep the balance, aim for frames that are in proportion to the face. Avoid extreme features such as low, swooping temples or ultra-bold top or bottom frames, like star Rose McGowan does, as these will unbalance the face.
To accentuate high cheekbones, wear geometric shaped frames. These will emphasize the angles of the face, creating a stunning look like that of The Office star Rainn Wilson.
To highlight curves, opt for a round or curved style. This will create a soft and approachable look.
