Diamond Face Shape: Eyewear That Highlights Your Angles
, by Vero Launier, 2 min reading time
Diamond-shaped faces are rare and striking—with high cheekbones and angular features that deserve to be celebrated. This guide shows you how to choose frames that enhance your natural symmetry and soften sharp lines for a beautifully balanced look.
What are the characteristics of a Diamond shaped face?
A diamond face shape features a narrow forehead and jawline, with the widest point at the cheekbones. The overall silhouette is angular and sculpted, often giving a striking and symmetrical appearance.
Notable celebrities with diamond-shaped faces include Megan Fox, Taylor Swift, Tyra Banks, and Robert Pattinson—each known for their high cheekbones and defined bone structure.
What eyeglasses and sunglasses features look best with a Diamond face shape?
Diamond-shaped faces shine with frames that highlight the cheekbones and soften angularity. Choose styles that sit slightly above or align with the cheekbones to accentuate your natural structure.
Top-heavy frames, browline accents, or styles with decorative upper rims help balance the narrower forehead. Avoid overly narrow or thin frames that emphasize the width of the cheeks without offering contrast.
Gradient frames—especially those that fade to clear or lighter tones at the bottom—can visually elongate the face and soften the lower half.
What specific frame shapes will suit a Diamond shaped face?
- Rimless: Minimalist and light, these frames don’t compete with strong cheekbones.
- Oval: Soft curves contrast angular features and add balance.
- Horn Rim: Bold and structured, ideal for making a statement while complementing symmetry.
- Cat Eye: Lifts the face and draws attention to the eyes and temples.
- Browline: Adds weight to the upper face and balances proportions.
