The Best Sunglasses For Your Face Shape

Friday, May 25, 2012 / No Comments

Choosing Sunglasses that look great isn't always easy. To find the perfect pair for your face shape follow the tips by the celebrity stylist extraordinaire, Robert Verdi here.

Jessica Chastain wears Red Sunglasses

Jessica Chastain gets in the summer spirit by sporting a pair of big, red sunglasses on her oval shaped face. Robert Verdi advises that no matter what shape your face is, to make sure there are no finger prints on your glasses and that you always use a case to prevent the lens from scratching.

Paula Abdul's funky style with Sunglasses

Paula Abdul's funky style transcends even to her sunglasses. Her angular, dark frames look amazing on her oval face shape. And lucky for her, there's not too many frames that she wouldn't be able to rock. "Because oval faces have balanced proportions most frames look great so you can really play with different styles," says Verdi.

Katy Perry with Summer Sunglasses

Robert Verdi says it's best for round faces to draw attention to the top of their face for extra length. Katy Perry gets it just right by following Verdi's other tip of choosing a style where the arm of the sunglasses connects at the top of the frame.

Fergie with Summer Shades

Fergie is definitely ready for summer with a great pair of shades for her round shaped face. "Since round faces have fuller cheeks, you want to pick frames that make your face look longer and thinner," says Verdi. "Look for angular frames and more horizontal styles to sharpen the face and add extra length with upswept frames."

 

Olivia Palermo with Sunglasses

Take a cue from Olivia Palermo and opt for a cute frame to show off a square face shape. Robert Verdi says the fashion-forward and playful styles that are in trend right now are perfect to help soften the face.

Paris Hilton with Fun Shades

 Paris Hilton looks as cool as ever with fun shades that complement her square face shape. "For square faces the goal is not to find hard angular lines that will accentuate your strong features, but to soften them with oval or round frames," says Verdi.


 

Miley Cyrus with Round Sunglasses

Miley Cyrus nails it when it comes to making sure her round sunglasses fit for her heart-shaped face. "Shapes with round edges look great (on heart shaped faces) and soften the broad upper part of your face," says Verdi

Audrina Patridge With Sunglasses

For a heart shaped face like Audrina Patridge, <b>Verdi</b> recommends a style that draws attention downward. "You want glasses that add width to the lower part of your face, so bigger styles work well but avoid anything that sits high and wide," he says.

Katy Perry, Katie Cassidy, Audrina Partridge Grammy Hairstyles 2009

Image1: Katy Perry (Feb 08 2009)
Style Description: Glossy, rolling waves make Katy Perry's above-the-shoulder bob look red carpet retro-glam.

Key Styling Tip: Slightly twist a one-inch section of dry hair and then mist with styling spray and wrap it around a large curling iron. Hold the section in place for a few seconds to set the curl and release. Re peat all over until all your hair is completely curled. Run a soft, natural bristle brush through your hair to create flowing waves all over. Mist with shine spray for added luster and hairspray for hold.








Image:Katie Cassidy (Feb 08 2009)
Style Description: Katie Cassidy goes hippie-chic with tousled waves and an earthy braided headband.
Key Styling Tip: Step 1: Apply a quarter-size amount of styling lotion onto damp hair. Blow dry haphazardly while shaking out your hair with your fingers.
Step 2: Slightly twist a one-inch section, mist it with styling spray and then wrap it around a medium curling iron. Hold the section in place for a few seconds to set the curl, release and repeat all over alternating the curl direction.
Step 3: Lightly coat your fingers with shine serum and run your fingers through hair to break up the sections and coax fullness. Create a center part and add a cool headband.






Image: Audrina Patridge (Feb 08 2009)
Style Description: Audrina Partridge opts for a smoothly braided and swooped-to-the-side chic chignon.
Key Styling Tip: Start with smooth, dry hair. Gather your length to one side and secure into a ponytail using a coated elastic band. Create a classic three-strand braid all the way down the ponytail and then secure the ends with a small elastic band. Wrap the braid around the base of the ponytail until you run out of hair. Tuck the ends in and pin the bun securely into place. Spritz with hairspray for the perfect finish.
