Eyewear direction

Prioritize proportion, lens depth, and line direction before color or trend.

  • Keep width close to the cheekbones.

Face-Framing Layers direction

Hair direction

Focus on silhouette, where volume sits, and how framing lines express the face shape without forcing it toward oval.

  • Balance: keep the naturally even proportions visible.
  • Highlight: use movement to show cheekbones, jaw, and symmetry.
  • Frame: keep the face open instead of burying it in heavy weight.
  • Express: choose polish, softness, or texture based on the look you want.
