Grab any measurement tape, and spot it below your eye near your cheekbones. Attach the tape from one side of your cheekbone, take it to the other side of your face, and note down the obtained measurement.

Settle the tape in the middle of your hairline, and stretch it down from the front of your face to the chin. And then note down the measurements.

Heart-Shaped Face

Usually, a heart-type of the face is wide at the foreheads and narrows down to the jaws. This type of face mostly looks good with winged-out frames, which are slightly wider than the forehead, and thus create a balance on the face. Bottom heavy frames with low set temples, oval-shaped frames, or even a lightweight rimless frame will look good on heart shaped faces.

Oval Shaped Face

Oval faces are the most versatile face shape, as they look good on any of the sunglasses. At the cheekbones, they are wider and narrow at the foreheads. Though one with an oval face can try out any sunglasses, you can wear oversized framed sunglasses with bold colors and textures to enhance and blend them with the outfit.

Round Shaped Face

Are you worried about soft angles with less wide cheekbones and equal jaws and forehead if you have a round face? You can try out the rectangular framed sunglasses, as they will sharpen your soft angles and give you a bold look. Also, they will put less emphasis on your equal jaw and forehead.

These were some of the tips that you must take care of before you buy sunglasses for yourself. Moreover, you should pay more attention to your facial features and find the sunglasses that suit you best.
