what shades fit your face?


Hey everyone hope all is well, just coming on to blog about
sunglasses! it is getting hotter and hotter all over the country,
today was 88 degrees=D
the best way to help protect your eyes from the harmful uv rays are to wear sunglasses.
sunglasses come in many styles and shapes so let's find out what pair of sunglasses
will work best for your face.


Some facts about sunglasses:

-Wearing sunglasses help to protect the health of your eyes.

-Sunglasses protect the delicate skin in the eye area from premature signs of aging due to UV rays and sun damage.

-Your eyes can get damaged by the sun just like your skin. However, you can't protect your eyes with sunscreen like you do your skin. Your only defense is to wear protective UV blocking sunglasses.

-Eyes regularly exposed to too much sun can develop serious and sometimes permanent damage.

-Opthomalogists recommend wearing UV blocking sunglasses whenever you are in the sun long enough to get a sunburn or tan.

- The lenses in most low priced sunglasses purchased at the drugstore or from a street vendor do not offer sufficient UV protection.Large wraparound sunglasses help to protect the eyes from the wind, as well as the sand, dirt and pollen sometimes carried by the wind.

-Sunglasses also help keep you safe while driving or playing sports in bright sun.
Glare from the sun reflecting off snow, water, or other objects can be blinding and very hazardous while driving.

How to determin the shape of your face:

1. Determine your face shape. Pull your hair back and look in a mirror. Look at the general outline shape of your face, and the angle of your face relative to your chin. If your jaw seems square or rounded, you have a square or round face, respectively. If your face is longer than wide, it’s oval shaped. Compare your face with the pictures of face shapes. Your face shape may change with weight loss or gain.

2.
Determine which styles and frames complement the shape of your face. Your frame shape should be the opposite of your face shape in order to complement and soften your natural shape.Round face – Squarish or rectangular frames balance this shape.Square face – Rounded or oval frames that are wider than tall are ideal.Oval face – If you're lucky enough to have an oval face, you can wear any style of sunglasses.Heart-shaped face – Rimless and semi-rimless frames complement this shape.Oblong face – Square sunglasses, wide frames that are fairly tall look best.Long – Semi-rimless are the best choice for faces that are longer than wide.
3.
It’s best to try on the sunglasses in person before buying so you can be sure they fit comfortably and look good.

Your face shape:

. Round Face
you should look for sunglasses equal to or slightly wider than the broadest part of the face. Minimize the curves and add definition with soft, angular, rectangular styles or double brow styles. Higher temples will create a longer profile.





· Square Face
this face shape consists of a strong jawline, a broad forehead and wide cheekbones. Reduce the angles with soft, curvy styles that will give the face some definition such as cat-eye styles. The classic ovals also works well for this face shape.
Frame suggestion: Oval, Round, Cat Eyes




· Oval Face
If you have an oval face like beyonce or halle you are in luck. Almost any style works for oval face. Experiment with the latest looks, such as wraparounds or shields. Square shaped frames with gently rounded edges and higher temples also look good on an oval face.Frame suggestion: Any frame shape




· Oblong Face
should widen and shorten the face with sunglass styles that do not extend beyond the widest part of the face. Round or square shapes will look great on this face. Frames with short horizontal and long vertical lines also work. Decorative or contrasting temples add width to the face.
Frame suggestion: Round, Square





· Diamond Face
You have wide or high cheekbones with a narrow forehead and chin. Oval sunglasses will soften the contour of the face, although softly curved square frames will work as well.
Make sure the styles are no wider than the top of the cheekbones.
Frame suggestion: Oval, Square, Rimless



·Heart-Shaped Face
You have a narrow jaw and a wide forehead. Soften the lower portion of the face by accenting the eye area. Styles such as cat-eyes should angle outward at the top corner and be wide enough to balance the jawline. You can also try metal frames with rimless bottoms.
Frame suggestion: Frames with a Straight Top Line, Cat Eyes

So ladies, once you find a perfect pair of frames....
don't forget to enjoy,enjoy,enjoy!
