Round faces are considered beautiful but can appear fuller than other shapes. When choosing sunglasses, those with round faces should select frames that are wider than they are tall to give the illusion of a thinner, more narrow shape. Larger frames and thicker bridges that draw attention upwards can also make the face appear sleeker. Round frames or small frames should be avoided as they can exaggerate fullness.
2. Round faces are beautiful and attractive. There are
many face shapes such as square and heart which
have more defined features and they are equally as
stunning and aesthetically pleasing. However, if you
have a round face you know that they are probably
some of the most gorgeous in the world. Some
people dislike their round faces because they feel it
makes them look like they have a "baby face."
However, as we age, a "baby face" becomes a good
thing and not such a problem.
3. Now, obviously, all people's faces are generally round.
The face shapes we often hear about are not literal.
You may have a round one but that doesn't mean
you have one like a bowling ball. By the same token,
a heart shaped face is not a Valentine shaped face.
So, with all of that said, how do you know whether
you have a round one? Take a look in the mirror.
They are full and do not have strong lines and
angles.
4. People with round faces do not have pointy chins or
high cheekbones. It's just as it sounds: Round faces
are circles. They are quite cherubic and many
famous and gorgeous people have this face shape.
Stars like Cameron Diaz, Ginnifer Goodwin and
Kirsten Dunst all have stunning round faces that
give them character and allow them to look youthful
and vibrant.
5. There is nothing to hide about a circular, full face.
However, when choosing glasses, those with round
faces do not want to exaggerate the fullness of their
face. They want to add to contrast and make the face
look thinner and longer, or at least not any
ROUNDER. Your face already has natural curves,
the goal is to give it some angles.
6. Keep this simple rule in mind: Look for frames that
are wider than they are tall. This gives the illusion of
a more narrow facial shape. Prints, colors and other
embellishments are also a great way to add contrast
to the face. The more contrast you create, the more
defined the face will appear. Larger frames will also
make it seem thinner and sleeker. Also, keep an eye
out for thicker bridges (the piece that rests on the
nose) as they will draw attention up and away from
very circular cheeks.

7. You should not choose frames that are small as they
will make your face look very large. Also, round
frames will make it look even rounder... much TOO
round. Last but not least, colored lenses tend to
exaggerate the fullness of the face and play up the
roundness of the checks.
Sporty styled sunglasses or Cat Eye glasses are not
particularly flattering to circular faces.
Note: You may also want to consider adjustable nose
pads if your frames rest on your full cheeks.
