How To Look Great In Your Glasses

If you have recently been told that you need to start wearing glasses, you may be fearful and/or worried about how having glasses will affect your appearance. Also, even if you have been wearing glasses for many years, you may feel like your glasses negatively impact your appearance. However, that doesn't have to be the case. In fact, if you choose your glasses carefully, they can actually enhance your beauty, rather than detracting from it. The key is just to choose the right glasses to complement your face.

Complementary Colors

Certain colors look better on certain people, so it makes sense that you would want to choose frames in a color that looks good on you. Think about clothing you have that you get a lot of compliments on. If people regularly tell you that you look good in neutrals, for example, you might want to choose glasses in a neutral color frame.

There are even stores and makeup companies that will actually take a look at you and your natural coloring and determine what colors look best on you. If you go this route or even just do a little "trial and error" yourself, you can easily tell what your best colors are and then choose frames in a color that are going to look great on you.

Facial Shape

Another thing to consider as you choose glasses is that you want to select frames that, in terms of their shape, contrast with your own facial shape. Round faces get more depth and interest with angular frames, for example, while angular faces are softened and sweetened by rounded frames.

If you consider your facial shape and how it works with your glasses, you are bound to look great in whatever pair you choose.

Higher Prescriptions = Smaller Frames

If you have a low-level prescription, you don't have to worry too much about which eyewear you choose, aside from considering their color and how they complement your facial shape. When you have a higher-level prescription, however, you can end up looking pretty funny and "bug-eyed" if you choose larger frames, which will magnify your eyes in an unflattering way.

So, if your vision is quite bad and you do need a high prescription, definitely look at smaller frames above all the other choices.

If you can follow these simple tips, then your glasses are sure to look perfectly gorgeous on you!
