The cheekbones are the most prominent features of a diamond-shaped face.

Choosing the Right Frame for Your Face Shape
Now that you have a good understanding of the different face shapes, let’s explore the best frame glasses for each shape.
1. Oval Face Shape Frames
The oval-shaped face is versatile and suits various frame styles. You can try different frame styles, as well as frames with unique patterns, textures, and decorations to add personality. We recommend square glasses, cat-eye glasses, rectangle glasses, round glasses, and wide frames. The sturdy nose bridges can enhance your facial features.
Avoid oversized frames and narrow frames, oversized frames will disrupt the natural balance and symmetry of an oval face, and narrow frames will add unnecessary length to an oval face shape.
2. Round Face Shape Frames
To counteract the roundness of the face, choose frames with angular edges that are wider than your face. Square or rectangle frames glasses can create a more defined appearance. Also, choose cat-eye glasses, upturned frames will focus on your beautiful eyes and make your face look thinner.
Avoid using round frames and rimless glasses as they can make your face look rounder.
3. Square Face Shape Frames
Square faces can use frames that soften the angular features. Look for frames with rounded or curved edges. Oval glasses or round glasses can balance out the edges of a square face and make it look thinner. Cat eye frames can also complement square frames and add a touch of femininity.
In addition, thin-framed eyeglasses can downplay the seriousness of a square face. Semi-rimless glasses and rimless glasses with curved edges are also good choices.
4. Heart Face Shape Frames
Heart-shaped faces can be balanced with frames that are wider at the top and taper downward.
You need to take attention away from your forehead to make your face look more symmetrical. Round glasses with a thick line at the bottom or square glasses with curved edges help draw attention away from a broad, high forehead.
5. Diamond Face Shape Frames
A diamond-shaped face shape can be enhanced with frames that accentuate the eyes and soften the angles. Try wider oval frames and cat-eye frame glasses to bring attention to cheekbones and delicate features for a sleeker look.
Avoid square glasses and narrow-frame glasses.
6. Rectangular Face Shape Frames
Rectangular face shapes can use frames that add width and create a more balanced look. Square frames and rectangle eyeglasses create the illusion of a shorter face, round frames, oval frames, and tall frame eyeglasses combine sharp angles and subtle curves, and wide frames with decorative temples or oversized frames are also good choices for rectangular face shapes.
7. Triangle Face Shape Frames
To balance the narrower forehead and wider jawline of a triangular face, choose frames that are wider at the top and lighter at the bottom, or rimless.
Cat-eye frames or frames with details on the upper such as patterns, colors, embellishments, etc.
Can draw attention upwards for a more harmonious look. Such as aviator glasses, cat eye glasses, round glasses and so on.
8. Pear Face Shape Frames
For a pear-shaped face, a frame with detail on the top can draw attention upwards and balance out a narrower forehead.
Browline glasses, aviator glasses are good choices, avoid square glasses and round glasses.
9. Inverted Triangle Face Shape Frames
Inverted triangle face shapes can benefit from frames that are wider at the bottom or have detailing on the lower part. This helps balance the wider forehead. Look for frames with bold or decorative bottoms and mix round and angular shapes, such as aviator or butterfly frames.
