Choosing glasses for a round face

Women tend to experiment with changing their appearance. This is probably why all girls like to try on glasses at least occasionally. Models chosen specifically for a round face will delight their owner with admiring glances from others.

It is no secret that there are several types of glasses on the market today. Solar, computer, massage, with and without diopters - all of them must be selected correctly.

Consequences of wearing uncomfortable glasses:

• headache;
• fatigue;
• pain in the eyes;
• the progression of myopia or hyperopia.

Often, doctors observe such symptoms in people who have bought ready-made glasses with a tempting cost. It is worth remembering that the ready-made accessory for the mass consumer does not take into account:

• distance between the pupils;
• differences in diopters for each eye;
• face parameters.

Such models put pressure on the bridge of the nose, temporal zones and subside when the head is tilted down. Based on this, ophthalmologists unanimously and persistently recommend purchasing glasses exclusively in large optics salons to order, especially when it comes to glasses correcting vision. Experts are more loyal to models that protect from the rays of the scorching sun, but they also do not get tired of talking about convenience, which should be felt at the moment of the first fitting.

Selection rules that apply to everyone:

• glasses that coincide in shape with the oval of the face emphasize all the flaws in appearance;
• glasses look advantageous, the lower part of the frame of which coincides with the shape of the lower line of the eye;
• the color of the frame and lenses should match the general style of clothing;
• the upper line of the frame of the glasses should only border on the lines of the eyebrows, but in no case cover it;
• an accessory sitting at the top of the nose bridge visually lengthens the nose.

As you can see, the general rules for the selection of glasses are quite simple.

The owners of a round face can only be envied, because they can always look cute and a little childish, captivating with round cheeks and a smooth chin. Accessories that are correctly selected in terms of frame, lens color and material can give them seriousness and restraint.

It should be noted that the shape of the frame, suitable for chubby beauties, is varied. The only strict rule here is its sufficient width, slightly beyond the contour of the face.

This key characteristic corresponds to the "cat-eye" glasses, which convey to us the fashionable greetings from the 50s of the last century. It was this form that was so loved by the stealers of men's hearts Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn.

You can distinguish the "cat's eye" by a slightly elongated shape and upturned corners, tending to the temples. Such a frame is good both in accessories from the sun and in corrective models for every day.

Other glasses, which are well suited for the type of face of a chubby woman, have a square or rectangular shape. At the edges, the corners should be slightly rounded, especially when it comes to the bottom of the frame. Such models should be large, but by no means massive. Otherwise, the soft round face will easily turn into a heavy and full one, and even add a couple of years to even young girls.

Asymmetrical shapes can also brighten the face with a round oval. For example, the butterfly frame, beloved by girls with an oval face, makes the face look more elongated. You can recognize the "butterflies" by expanding the rim at the temples and narrowing at the bridge of the nose. Perhaps, for everyday wear, accessories of this shape may seem too extravagant and bold, however, sun protection options deserve close attention.

For a woman with a round face, clubmaster glasses are a good choice. Came to us from America, they are clearly distinguished by a dark arched line in the upper part, made of various shades of plastic, and a lightweight lower contour framing a convex lens. Such a model, like the previous ones, somewhat protrudes beyond the contour of the face, stretching and modifying it.

It is worth noting that women's glasses are also suitable for curvy young ladies. For sun protection or for vision, they should be selected taking into account the previous advice.

Models that chubby girls should give up:

• classic "Aviators" with rounded edges;
• glasses "Lennons" with a pronounced round shape;
• narrow crescent glasses;
• dragonfly models with round lenses narrowed at the temporal zone.

One of the earliest materials for making lenses was glass. It has a much lower refractive index than plastic, and therefore lenses made from it look thinner and more accurate. In addition, the glass is less prone to scratches, which means its service life is long.

Wishing to get rid of this shortcoming, plastic was proposed by the manufacturers. Its advantages:

• democratic cost;
• presentable appearance;
• the ability to take any shape during the manufacturing process.

Manufacturers took into account and soberly appreciated the advantages and disadvantages of plastic, creating improved types of it, such as:

• Polycarbonate models, the main advantage of which is surprisingly high impact resistance and protection from ultraviolet radiation.

• High indexcreated for people with minor vision problems. Their lenses are less curved and have noticeable thinness. In addition, these models do not change the natural size of the eye.

• Asphericaldesigned for people with severe myopia and hyperopia. Their main feature can be considered a flatness even at high diopters.

• Chameleon Lenses or models that can change color depending on the lighting, can be made of glass or plastic with a special chemical coating and special internal connections. Glasses with these types of glasses are useful from the expert point of view of ophthalmologists, because they create the necessary level of eye protection.

• Polarizeddesigned to remove glare and reduce eye fatigue.

It should be noted that when choosing the type of glass, it is important to pay attention to special coatings, which can be used for convenience in various situations or for a cosmetic effect.

Lens coatings:

• Anti-glare - a special coating that reduces the brightness and scale of halos from light sources. Relaxing and protective in terms of vision.
• Anti-scratch coating, is able to convey the main advantage of classic glass lenses to plastic.
• Protective from ultraviolet radiation.
• Toning - allows you to create the desired shade of the lens. In most cases, it is aesthetic.
• Mirror coating - closes his eyes from others; inspired by fashion trends.
• Protecting from water - allows you to feel comfortable in any bad weather, preventing water droplets from adhering to the glass surface.

Frame materials match the variety of lenses. Today, inexpensive plastic options and exotic wood options can be seen on sale. And yet, the main competitors are plastic and metal.

Most often, supporters of metal frames choose models from various alloys. They are durable enough and available to a wide range of consumers. It should be noted that most alloys contain nickel - a metal that can cause severe allergies. During operation, the protective coating is quickly removed from it, leaving the sensitive skin of the face alone with it.

When deciding to purchase alloy products, you should remember the key rules for a successful purchase:

• the alloy should not come into direct contact with the skin;
• nose pads and temples should be made of plastic, acetate or hypoallergenic metals.

Non-allergenic metals are considered titanium, gold, silver and the more affordable stainless steel. Steel frames are distinguished by an impressive weight, which is also important to consider when choosing.

A wide range of plastics is a democratic alternative to metals. Such material can often be seen not only on corrective glasses, but also on sun-protection accessories.

Types of plastics used:

• Cellulose acetate - one of the most popular materials capable of accurately conveying colors and shades, as well as their smooth transitions into each other. Plastic of this type is lightweight and impact-resistant, however, in places of direct contact with the skin, it quickly discolors, reacting with sweat.
• Grilamid - a material that is resistant to ultraviolet light and high temperatures, as well as lightness and strength.
• Nylon (polyamide) - a fairly common material, endowed with special flexibility and strength. Among the disadvantages it has a short service life, becoming more fragile with a long stay in the sun.
• Propionate - lightweight and durable material, the main advantage of which is considered to be hypoallergenic.
• Carbon - lightweight material that competes with the strength of many metals.

Stylists advise owners of a round face to be careful with bright shades of frames and lenses, avoiding shiny and deliberately extravagant details.

Calm, non-acidic tones set the right accents. So, for girls of blondes and brown-haired women, brown is perfect. At the same time, its monotony is not at all necessary and can be successfully diluted with soft color transitions. The silver shade of the frame is another correct tone that can add precise finishing touches.

It should be noted that lenses that are too dark cause disharmony with a round face, negatively affecting vision. Bypassing the dull opaque models, you can, with confidence in your own irresistibility, dwell on not too dark versions of any tones.

For glasses for correcting vision, consumers put forward more stringent requirements than for sunscreen items. This approach is the only correct one, because incorrectly selected glasses will not only not solve vision problems, but also aggravate existing pathologies.

Vision models must:

• be selected solely taking into account the recommendations of an ophthalmologist;
• have a rim design for greater strength and longer service life;
• have a multifunctional coating, for example, protecting against water, glare and ultraviolet rays;
• to be placed on the face calmly and firmly, without going beyond the eyebrow line.

The best option for glasses for correcting vision is a model with a frame that runs along the entire perimeter of the lens with an impressive thickness and slightly beyond the contours of the face. It is this choice that can make a chubby pretty girl a fatal beauty, proudly wearing a useful accessory for a single season.

Knowing all the suitable shapes of glasses for a round face shape, you can look beautiful and confident all the time. In addition, knowing the features of your appearance will make it easy to meet modern fashion trends.

I must say that the last season pleased with its diversity. So, one of the most relevant options presented in many collections of famous designers is glasses with double frames. This design consists of a conventional frame, which can be any, and a thin rim that runs along the top of the glasses.

In addition, the owners of a round oval will like rectangular or square sunglasses with bright details that match the clothes. For example, it can be stripes on a massive frame, repeating the tone and appearance of the same print on a summer handbag.

Bright sunglasses with colored lenses, amber effect and marble frames are another modern trend this season. Green, turquoise, blue or pink - they can brightly complement an extravagant and youthful look.

Sun-protection models with transparent lenses, decorated in any bright massive frame, allow this season to look not only ultra-fashionable, but also restrained.

Cat-eye glasses have also entered the fashion rating this season.Designers are advised to pay attention to interesting bright frames with the presence of a gold tone.

As you can see, the fashion this year reacted very favorably to girls with a round oval. Stylish and bright looks with the presence of fashion accessories are already ready to become part of the warm season, saturated with colors of femininity and light playfulness.
