Fashion Glasses and Face Shape . . . It all matters

“Fashion Glasses and Face Shape”

I would guess that at least 25% of the 15,000 or so hairstyle makeovers that I have done were on women who wear fashion glasses. I always make sure when doing my analysis of what hairstyles I’m going to recommend that the client have their fashion glasses on. Fashion glasses make a huge difference . . . it never ceases to amaze me how different a person looks when they take off the fashion glasses. With the fashion glasses off, the client might look like a round face shape, but with glasses on, it can appear a square face shape. The actual face shape is not important, it is what we see.

Any artist will tell you that they use optical illusions often to trick the eye into seeing something that really is not there. Likewise with hair styling we use optical illusions to create the effect that most flatters. My advice is to first get new fashion glasses that work with your face shape, then start considering what hairstyle will enhance the look. I found an interesting article on framesdirect.com that can help you figure it all out.
