How to Pick Face-Slimming Sunglasses

Sunglasses are an important part of your wardrobe. Since you wear them year-round, it's important to choose a pair that you find comfortable and fashionable. To find face-slimming sunglasses, you might have to try on plenty of options depending on your style and current trends.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Figure out what kind of face-shape you have before you start to shop for face slimming-sunglasses. Knowing what category your face falls in to makes your search for sun glasses much easier.

2. Go to a department store that is likely to have a lot of different styles and prices.

3. Choose a style and shape of frame that contrasts with the size and shape of your face. For example, if you have a round face, square frames will be slimming. The key is to make your face look longer and thinner.

4. Pick a size that's comparable to the size of your face. If you have a small square face, choose small oval, oblong or round glasses, like aviators.

5. Coordinate the color of your glasses to compliment your hair. Try tortoise shades if you're a brunette. Plain black sunglasses will look face-slimming on blonds.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid choosing bright colors, such as red, white or yellow, even if they're in style. Bright colors do not slim the face; instead, they draw attention and make the face look larger.
