want to look fabulous graphic
One day it's an elegant look, the next day its boho. Although celebrities seem to change their style almost daily, one thing stays the same: their choice in eyewear is always spot-on. Choosing frames that accentuate their best features and complement their "look of the moment," celebrities (and their stylists) know how to get the framed and fabulous look.

Curvilinear Face Shape Fundamentals
With soft lines and features, curvilinear shaped faces have balanced width and length proportions. Curved faces include features such as a wide forehead, full cheeks and little or no angles.
Frame Tips

To balance the appearance of a curved face, try angular frames to contrast with your face shape, like The New Adventures of Old Christine star Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Avoid excessively narrowed frames, which can exaggerate facial roundness.

 

To add length to your face, opt for frames with high or mid-height temples which create a longer profile. Dark and chunky semi-rimless styles, like those of American Idol judge Randy Jackson, add interest at the eye area and provide definition and a chiseled look while downplaying a full forehead.

 

To minimize facial fullness, use strong lines and geometric shapes in dark colors such as black, brown, navy and burgundy
