Are you undecided about which glasses to use for your round features? At Óptica Bassol we offer you a wide catalog where you can choose your ideal glasses. There are glasses for every type of face, for both men and women. Don't forget that the design of your glasses is as important as the function they serve for your eyesight.

How do I know if I have a round face?

People have features or factions that stand out more than others and define their image, are you having trouble identifying which are those features that stand out in your face? Don't worry, we are here to help you.

If you have a round face, these are its main features:

• Similar proportions: the distances between your features are almost the same. For example: between the beginning of your forehead and your eyebrows there is the same distance as between your eyebrows and the tip of your nose.

These proportions are often broken in some round-faced men who have a greater distance between their jaw and cheekbones than between their cheekbones and eyes.

• Small forehead: This is the main characteristic of round faces.

• Full cheeks without protruding cheekbones: This feature is mainly noticed in round-faced women and ends up giving the face the feeling of girth.

• Features together: It is common for a round face to not have much distance between features.

The ideal types of eyeglasses to flatter your round face

When choosing your glasses, you should take into account their functionality. For example, if you have presbyopia, the ideal is to wear glasses that fit your face. You should also consider their color: dark or intense tones highlight your eyes and light ones tend to soften the lines of your face.

Glasses not only help us to see better, but also to express our personality or highlight our own style. Depending on your choice, you can hide your features or make them very noticeable and highlight them.

Here we share with you the considerations of glasses so you can play with the roundness of the lenses and your face.

• Glasses with square or rectangular geometric shapes: straight lines increase the perception that your face is getting longer and slimmer. Also, glasses with geometric shapes are on trend.

• Cat-eye or butterfly style glasses: their bold style will make a great contrast with your face softening your features. In addition, with their pointed shape, they lengthen your features in both dimensions: height and width. These glasses are ideal for round-faced women and daring men.

• Aviator style glasses: Straight lines are your best help to soften your features. In this case it is important to choose the ideal tone and color to generate contrast.

• Large, wide-framed glasses: For most round faces, large frames help to reduce their size. This effect is lost on people with very thick features or very dark lines in the eyes.

Glasses to avoid if you have a round face.

Are you uncomfortable with your glasses and feel you don't look good in them? They may not be the right glasses for your round face. Here we share with you the types of glasses that don't flatter you so you don't waste time with them.

• Round glasses: These are definitely not your thing. With their circular shapes they highlight your rounded features and will not contribute to lengthen them. The idea when choosing your glasses is that they generate contrast with your features.

• Small glasses: These glasses are not a good ally for your face, as they will make your features look even closer together. In addition, they will draw attention to the center of your face, highlighting its circular shape.

• Browline style glasses: Their upper part similar to the eyebrows will frame your eyes inside a round lens. You should avoid them to avoid overloading your face with rounded shapes, remember that the goal is to make contrasts to stylize your face.
