Rocking Eye Candies

Summertime is here and sunglasses are in. A good pair of sunglasses should balance your face, and the general rule is to go with a pair of frames that are opposite of your face shape. Other than that, what you want to do is find a pair of sunglasses that look great, feel great, and protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun.

Here are a few tips to enable you pick the right sunglasses to improve your look:

• First, determine your face shape. There are seven basic shapes: round, oval, oblong, triangle, inverted triangle, diamond, and square. Once you determine your face shape, pick a frame that contrasts with the shape; for example, if you have a round face, select angular, narrow frames that are wider than they are deep in order to lengthen the face.
• The frame size of the sunglasses you select should also be in scale to your face. If you have petite features, don’t select over-sized frames — they will dwarf your face.

The colour of the frames should complement your colour tone, which consists of your skin and hair colour. Make sure the frames you choose are comfortable and appropriate for what you will need them for.
