Everyone has their own unique face, from your features and coloring to the shape of your face. According to the Vision Council of America (VCA), the key to finding the best frame for your face is determined by the shape of your face. The VCA has established there are seven face shapes among the billions of us. They are:

	Characteristics	Suggested Frame Selections
Round	Wide foreheads and rounded chins.	Select frames with straight or angular lines. Choose glasses that are wider than deep. Deep colors such as black or tortoise also minimize fullness.
Square	Strong jaw line, broad forehead and wide chin and cheekbones.	Frames should make the face look longer, such as one with weight on top. Frames that are slightly curved compliment a square face.
Oblong	Face is longer than it is wide. Similar to square faces in that chin and cheek are of nearly the same width. Facial length is far greater than the width, however.	Wider frames look much better than narrow frames as they break up the length of the face.
Oval	A well-balanced face. The top half balances the bottom half.	Any style frame looks good on this face shape with the possible exception of extreme geometric designs. Keep the size of the frame in proportion to the face.
Triangle	A broad forehead and narrow mouth and chin.	Frames with a thin rim and vertical lines will help balance the bottom part of the face. Avoid large frames, bold colors and square shapes.
Heart	A broad forehead and narrow mouth and chin.	Frames with a thin rim and vertical lines will help balance the bottom part of the face. Avoid large frames, bold colors and square shapes.
Diamond	A small forehead, wide temple area that gradually decreases to a small chin.	Frames need to minimize the temple area while extending the forehead and chin. The styles that look the best are shallow ovals, geometrics and rectangles.
