Round Face Shape: Eyewear That Adds Angles and Elegance
What Are the Characteristics of a Round-Shaped Face?
A round face typically has a wide jawline and forehead, with slightly wider cheekbones. It shares similarities with square faces but features softer curves and fewer angles.
Famous faces with this shape include Emma Stone, Mila Kunis, Kirsten Dunst, Queen Latifah, Mindy Kaling, and Ashton Kutcher.
What Eyeglasses and Sunglasses Features Work Best?
To balance the softness of a round face, opt for bold or angular frames. Sharp angles and straight lines provide contrast, while round frames may exaggerate the roundness.
Choose frames where the bottom lens sits just above your cheekbones—this helps visually lengthen your face and adds elegance.
Recommended Frame Shapes
- Rectangular: Adds vertical lines and elongates the face.
- Square: Offers bold contrast and sharp definition.
- Horn Rim: Vintage style with strong angles.
- Cat Eye: Lifts the face and adds elegance.
- Browline: Highlights the upper face and adds structure.
