What to watch for
Avoid overwhelming the face with overly large or very heavy shapes.
Eyewear direction
Prioritize proportion, lens depth, and line direction before color or trend.
- Keep width close to the cheekbones.
- Use clean lines without heavy correction.
- Avoid frames that bury the natural balance.
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.
