look at the first picture and notice how the forehead is actually narrower in the first pic than the second (measure it) as well as the fact that he's smiling in the second picture but looks grumpy in the first and also the second pic has more colour/brightness overall too. The premise is correct about finding the right size and shape for your face though obviously.
Longtime optician here, and wizard at choosing frames for people... I clicked this video because I thought it was going to be silly, but everything you said is absolutely correct! SPOT ON. Well done, sir. :)
Finally!! I have to say, this is by far, the best video and explanation on buying the best glasses for your face, EVER! Being a woman, the shape of your face is important, not only in choosing glasses, but jewelry and the most importantly makeup. I'm 34, and I'm still not sure what shape my face is. Thank you so much!
This man was way ahead of his time, I'm in 2023 and this video is still relevant af, thanks for the info, the "face shape" theory is a problem even in 2023 but I'm glad I found your video.
I work as an optician and I can’t tell you how many times people say they have a “triangular face” and I’m thinking “you have a face face”!! It isn’t going to matter if you pick that frame with rounded edges to balance out your angles if it doesn’t fit! 👏🏻👏🏻
If you don’t like your nose, get glasses with a delicate bridge. I know this sounds weird because you’d think a thick bridge would hide your nose but it actually puts a lot emphasis on the tip of it. Having a bridge that’s metal and barely visible puts a lot of emphasis on the eyes and makes the nose less prominent. I started to like mine with glasses like that because it gives me a little bit of an edge and just looks cool.
The Modest Man Hey Brock, you recommended me Wayfarers. If those don't work, then what else would you recommend? Would you recommend the Ray Ban Justin's? Thanks.
Fragrance Bros.: Hey, most people “hate” their faces or other aspects of their body for the silliest reasons... you are not alone! And I guarantee your face is NOT “STUPID”! Lol!😁♥️
This dude is absolutely right! He is on point. Once I figured out that the width of my face was what was keeping my from buying the RIGHT pair of sunglasses, I never buy the WRONG pair anymore. My sweet spot is 53 to 55 mm width, depending on the style of frames. This guy is money!👍
@@DiamondsRexpensive anybody can wear sunglasses. But you’re more limited if you need a prescription. Prescription sunglasses are expensive, and I hated doubling sunglasses and my prescription glasses on top of each other bc it was uncomfortable
Hey! I am SOOO HAPPY I found your channel! When it comes to picking out sunglasses (and now glasses for reading/driving), I have always had the HARDEST time! I L♥️VE the formula you shared with us. I am measuring my face in the morning because I need to head back to my Ophthalmologist THIS WEEK to get a new pair of glasses and also prescription sunglasses. Nothing ever seems to look right on me! I have had a round face with “chubby cheeks”, since I was a baby... I’m now 42 years old and the chubby cheeks has, by the grace of God, kept me looking around 28-30 years old! I have ALWAYS worn sunglasses so that may have helped me avoid crows feet along with a high SPF facial moisturizer I have worn since I was about 20 years old! Anyway, I always thought I had to get bigger sunglasses to play down my round face but I have been NEVER SATISFIED with what I buy... even the $450 polarized, prescription sunglasses I wear right now! I’m going to follow your advice and if it really works, I PROMISE I will not only subscribe to your channel but I will forward this to all 400+ of my friends, family and contacts!! Thanks again for making this video! Love from Texas♥️🤠
Best Sunglasses tutorial out there imo Very easy to understand and not solely relying on overly complicated face shapes to confuse everyone! Great job Brock!
I've watched probably 20 videos about picking glasses and this is the first video where I finally understood - I was able to pick two of three answers on the test!
Crazy how we can take something like this, something so simple, for granted... and yet there exist some much reason in how it actually should work. I would always just wing such a shopping experience.
I am not a "modest man" at all but found this useful and I wish I had found it years ago when I was leaving behind contact lenses for stylish eyeglasses. Here is what I discovered on my own: narrow suit lapels and tiny shirt collars (looking at you J Crew) didn't pair with my large head and long face (and bushy hair). Instead, I needed wide lapels and full collars. When I transitioned to eyeglasses kept the same rule of thumb: wide and full. A further discovery that angular eyeglasses didn't pair with my angular face. Today I wear round frames with large lenses, often tortoiseshell. I also found that buying sunglasses and having the lenses replaced with prescription ones with photosensitive lenses gives me a lot more to choose from.
The best video for finding the right glasses. According to face shape guide I was convinced that I needed round frames but have always found them to look horrible on me. Because my face height is on the short side they never looked good on me due to the height of the frames which made my face look shorter/smaller.
I've always struggle to figure out my "face shape" based on the guides online. The information they give doesn't make sense to me but your video totally makes sense!
Great work man.straight to the point no bullshit. After spending an hour on determining my face shape i came across your video. Thank you for explaining it so simply.
Thank you for posting this video! I have been having a hard time determining my face shape because I don't seem to fall into any of the predetermined categories. Finally there is a video on the subject that makes sense!
THANK YOU! Different stores keep telling me I have different face shapes that I could never get the right recommendation when buying sunglasses. This really helped! Subscribed!
wow, I did not see this coming. saw so many videos that focus on shapes...while this one focus on the rule of "Seinfeld" = if everything you get told is wrong the opposite must be right (: you definitely got my applause.
Goddamn this is the best. I’m someone who is looking for something practical, none of these expensive and subjective frames based on face shapes and weird shit. Your guide lays it out perfectly. If I ever want to break the rules later on and look eccentric, I’ll do that. But for now, I just need something that FITS! Thank you for making this guide
I have a bit of an oval face shape and I found that rectangular sunglasses, particularly Navigators (basically squared off Aviators), generally tend to look best on me since they balance out my rounded features.
Finally a video that’s not full of bs about face shapes. The huge amount of content around using face shapes could make people believe that that’s the only way to choose frames. This video puts an end to years of second guessing my face shape. Thank you for this!
WELL. you learn something new everyday. because of those stupid face-shape tips, sunglasses became the accessory i hated the most. i've only ever owned 2 pairs in my adult life (which were so painstakingly selected by my shopping buddies from years ago) because i cannot for the life of me figure out my face shape. and then finding out that there's actually a measurable way to select sunglasses all this time?! mind blown. thanks for this helpful video!
In fact his description match with the famous names as triangle, heart, square shapes.... He just use different words. Short lengh with soft lines is round shape. Proportional lenght and wide with hard lines is square and etc.
This is the most helpful video on this subject by far. GQ's was so bad. They basically just told us to wear whatever we want because the professional did the exact opposite of what he said to do
I just ordered new glasses and for the first time I went for the feel and tried a lot of glasses and I ended up with Rayban Erika. They fitted perfectly IMO and they also fit my asymmetrical face. Looks comes second for me but these are glasses that I think would fit many people. Thanks for the guide. =)
I've never verbally thanked somebody for their TH-cam video before. But at the end of this I just blurted out "thank you dude!!" I had almost given up on sunglasses until I saw this video
Finally somebody make absolutely sense, great video buddy. I have a huge round face kinda like Cee Lo and normally is hard to find cool eyeframe and sunglasses for big faces, it is like the market punish us for being big like what happen with clothes and heavy people.
ur video makes lot more sense than those videos telling u to pick based on just the face shape...ur video deserves lot more views than what u got so far...
Excellent advice. This is the best and most accurate way to send me to INVEST in a pair of shades or reading glasses without WORRYING if I've made a good decision on my choice purchase. Knowing what to take into account while choosing has empowerment quality, thanks for this tutorial.
I picked the No. 4 for you, then you applied your 'theory'. (I got sad).........but then you came up with you favorite glasses pic, and I was pleased!! I'm a happy man now. Subbed! :DD
That guide was a lot better than what I expected it to be ! Good job. You really put some thoughts on this topic. I feel like I understand what to look for now
Thank you so much , This video is great help! because I just started working 2 days ago at a designer eyewear store in Ny, and the first 2 days I wish i could have done so much better , I want to be able to know how to improve and talk better as a seller for sunglasses and prescription glasses, I dont wanna look like a fool as the one that works there , you know? Lol . I like to talk, but because i was lacking information on how to find out how to best pick eye wear to fit ones face, I struggled and i do not wanna be making costumers uncomfortable, i wanna be able to make conversation to SELL glasses, and feel good I can do the work 😅 💯 Because Iknow I can , on the other hand , my first 2 days working on the floor trying to sell really wasnt bad, I am glad for this opportunity . Hope you are all doing good ,
All this doesn't matter when I'm in the sun enjoying a beer 🍻 I like anonymity that sunglasses bring. Less chance of people looking at you, kinda a secure feeling. Very comforting. Personally I like the clubmaster style, I have a narrow but long face. The lens hits the edge of my face perfectly. Very reassuring feeling. Money well spent.
This is incredibly helpful. The face shape thing drives me NUTS! I will definitely be using this guide when looking for shades or regular glasses in the future.
This is so helpful. The width of the glasses are so important. Thank you! I also love your celebrity sunglasses photos and the throw back to the CA raisens.
I'll be honest I speciality retail at Sunglass Hut, literally my whole existance is to find the right looking sunglasses for peoples faces. This video is amazing and true, and I'll be honest, while I love sunglasses the most infurating thing is when people dont belive me about how your face and the sunglasses really do matter and change your whole look and style. Thank you for this informative video and hopefully people start beliving that the person who was trained to do this, knows what they are talking about!
Well done - I work in optics and this is a useful video- of course there are a few more things to consider like - if u need nose pads, side length , lense needs along with pupil distance etc… but this is useful starting guide But I’d always buy from a shop to get the best fit and money well spent
This is a damn good video... Haven't seen this way of going about it before, but it's far more of a common-sense approach, and more intuitive, but put into words. Cool stuff.
It's odd, maybe it's just me but i actually think he looks good with either sunglasses. Maybe it's just because of how he looks and he can pull it off or maybe this just isn't as a big of a deal as it's made out to be. I personally enjoy wearing a lot of different sunglasses from classic aviator to a more sportish kind and all kinds in between and i love how i look in all of them. There are some i would never buy and wear but for the most part i feel i look great in a wide variety. So my advice to men in general or women for that matter is, the content of this video is great (much better than most i've seen in other places) as a general rule of advice, but do not stress that much about it, don't be overly self-aware about it. Go to a shop try a few that you like and wear them with confidence in from of a mirror, smile a bit while you try them on (that helps with you feeling better about yourself while wearing them and breaks a bit of the stress of being overly self-aware or lacking in confidence) and be fair with yourself, don't be overly judgmental with yourself. The most important thing is that you feel great and comfortable while wearing them because you will probably be wearing them a lot. Since i own several i also try to choose the one i'll be wearing accordingly to the clothes and style i'll be sporting that moment and also to less extent the environment i'll be in while wearing them. These are just my two cents and i hope they can prove useful to someone that eventually reads them.
Well done my boy. Now i'm going to buy me a nice set of prescription glasses. One thing you forgot to learn us is how to choose the right color. Ok but coming this far is good enough, many thanks
I think this is the right video i need to find right sunglasses. I've watched so many videos, still I get confused when have to buy a pair. Face Shapes are really confusing.
hes right... i have a round pair of sunglasses here, and i look terrible in them. but i do have a cuestion. I shave my head, so im completely bald, and i dont know if i should measure my face from my chin to my *hairline* or to the top of my head?
I love this explanation. I always had a hard time not only cuz my face is very tiny (frame from 125 to 130 mostly always found in kids section so not much glasses with an adult look alike) also because I had no idea which one I should choose that didn't made me look weird. After I discovered a pair of glasses that actually looked good and fitted I learned that those 3 measurements on the temple piece could actually help to look for further glasses or sunglasses but then again I wasn't sure about the model I should choose... I mean like you said a face is a face not an inverted trapezoid 😂 so you see hwp hard was for me to understand those charts haha. Thanks a lot this helped me millions
Great video. I learned a lot. And I eliminated all the options except for 3/4 you picked. So now I think I actually understand. This was very helpful dude.
Definetly the best guide I found on Internet! I have just 2 questions: 1) What if I have a beard? Should sunglasses shape follow beard shape as it is the face shape? 2) What about the color? I've almost black hair and beard, should I use black sunglasses to match colors or can I go for example with brown color (which is lighter)?
this is the best guide i've ever seen.
look at the first picture and notice how the forehead is actually narrower in the first pic than the second (measure it) as well as the fact that he's smiling in the second picture but looks grumpy in the first and also the second pic has more colour/brightness overall too. The premise is correct about finding the right size and shape for your face though obviously.

My face is a 4D cube
+C North haha I feel ya.
What is in the fourth dimension
That's how i feel like when trying on the glasses
Gtfo out my dimension you inter dimensional interloper
Thats called a Charlie Brown.

Appreciate it 🙏
I’m here in 2024! Ha!
I had the same objection to all the weird geometric face shape bs… this makes sense!!
My face shape is star.
Stark
you must be lisa simpson
Tony Stark🤣👈
Lmao
Well then, there are star frames u can get at any photo booth.
I work as an optician and I can’t tell you how many times people say they have a “triangular face” and I’m thinking “you have a face face”!! It isn’t going to matter if you pick that frame with rounded edges to balance out your angles if it doesn’t fit! 👏🏻👏🏻

You're a genius. Totally agree with you that generalisations on "face shape" just don't cut it.
I got Lasik several years ago and still struggled picking out sunglasses. This guide is exactly what I need. Nice job
I got lasik a few days ago and it’s opened up the opportunity to finally wear sunglasses. It’s a whole new world lol
@@nikegoon2395 are there no sunglasses for people who have sight issues?
@@DiamondsRexpensive anybody can wear sunglasses. But you’re more limited if you need a prescription. Prescription sunglasses are expensive, and I hated doubling sunglasses and my prescription glasses on top of each other bc it was uncomfortable

ayy seems like you found ur sunglasses!
I've watched probably 20 videos about picking glasses and this is the first video where I finally understood - I was able to pick two of three answers on the test!
probably the only useful video about picking a pair of perfect sunglasses I've seen so far...thanks! :D
Crazy how we can take something like this, something so simple, for granted... and yet there exist some much reason in how it actually should work. I would always just wing such a shopping experience.
I love u for this kind of knowledge. While everyone talks about face-shapes, you talk about what actually matters. Love u bro
This is probably the best tutorial on anything at all, seriously. What a great help. Thank you.
Great video! This definitely eliminates a lot of the confusion that comes with the face shape method. This is way more practical.
Agreed. Glad it made sense to you!

Good video. I like how it's informative and less than 10 min. The quiz at the end was pretty funny
This is a much better way of finding glasses compared to the "face shape" nonsense
@Kompa Tevez no😐

I like anonymity that sunglasses bring. Less chance of people looking at you, kinda a secure feeling. Very comforting.
Personally I like the clubmaster style, I have a narrow but long face. The lens hits the edge of my face perfectly. Very reassuring feeling. Money well spent.
thank you man! simple straightforward, where has this video been my whole life???
This’s the perfect, no nonsense video I’ve been looking for.👌🏾
This is incredibly helpful. The face shape thing drives me NUTS! I will definitely be using this guide when looking for shades or regular glasses in the future.
The LITERAL BEST guide for choosing sunglasses on the WHOLE INTERNETTTTTTT
After a long search, I bumped into this video, and now I feel I know what I want to pick. Thanks, dude.
Simple, Straight-to-the-Point, Useful Info. Nailed it. Thank you.
I am an optician and I want you to know that you chose very well the glasses that fit you well, very well explained...
Very straight forward and understandable, love it🙌🏼❤️

Haven't seen this way of going about it before, but it's far more of a common-sense approach, and more intuitive, but put into words. Cool stuff.
no video has ever , and I do mean ever solved a problem of mine this well and for that, I in the best of my power wish to profoundly thank you
Sharp faces, soft glasses.... soft faces. Sharp glasses. Damn that’s so true!
Thank GOD !!!!!! Someone discarded confusing face shapes for finding sunglasses
This is a great guide even for regular glasses
Finally a clear explanation!! Thank you for this video

Finally, something that makes sense. Thank you!
Hands down the best video on the topic. Thank you, Mr. Modest Man!
very well explained, good job 🖒👏
Great!!
Got tired searching for the perfect pair of glasses and trying to find my face shape. This video is really helpful. Thank you.
this is the 1st realy useful guide on how to choose glasses
my applause =))
Thanks!
Wow, finally a video that makes sense and that explains the science behind picking a good frame. Great videos, keep it up :)!
Finally, someone who agrees on the face shape thing.
You just earned yourself a subscriber, keep up the great work!
Thanks. Yeah, even since I put this video up, there have been MANY "face shape" guides...they're all the same.
Yeah, I can't really tell if my face is "heart-shaped" or "oval-shaped". Depending on the guide I can be either.
I think this is the right video i need to find right sunglasses. I've watched so many videos, still I get confused when have to buy a pair. Face Shapes are really confusing.
You sound exactly like Shikamaru from Naruto. Mind saying "What a drag." on your next video?
hoooly thats hella accurate

He's probably the one... He's good at math
Lol
My regular glasses are elegant, yesterday I found sunglasses thick and chunky. They couldn't be more different but they both suit me perfectly.
2:29 Man if I were you I'd just embrace that Frozone aesthetic you know
hes right... i have a round pair of sunglasses here, and i look terrible in them.
but i do have a cuestion.
I shave my head, so im completely bald, and i dont know if i should measure my face from my chin to my *hairline* or to the top of my head?
😂 - still from hairline
Great info, My face shape is spiral
I would love to see a video of someone measuring their face by themselves. I cant imagine how youd pull that off accurately
Symmetry what our humam brain is wired to search. Well researched video, great content. Subbed!!
What a great guide. Easy to understand, and very objective (uses a lot of numbers), so it's hard to mess up! Fantastic job.
I love this explanation. I always had a hard time not only cuz my face is very tiny (frame from 125 to 130 mostly always found in kids section so not much glasses with an adult look alike) also because I had no idea which one I should choose that didn't made me look weird.
After I discovered a pair of glasses that actually looked good and fitted I learned that those 3 measurements on the temple piece could actually help to look for further glasses or sunglasses but then again I wasn't sure about the model I should choose... I mean like you said a face is a face not an inverted trapezoid 😂 so you see hwp hard was for me to understand those charts haha. Thanks a lot this helped me millions
The best explanation ever!!!! Was driving myself crazy trying to figure all this out and ran into your vid.
I like "The Modest Man" logo. Cool!
Thanks! Had a great designer.
Great video. I learned a lot. And I eliminated all the options except for 3/4 you picked. So now I think I actually understand. This was very helpful dude.
I agree let stop with all the weirdness about face shapes. Good video I enjoyed it.
Definetly the best guide I found on Internet! I have just 2 questions:
1) What if I have a beard? Should sunglasses shape follow beard shape as it is the face shape?
2) What about the color? I've almost black hair and beard, should I use black sunglasses to match colors or can I go for example with brown color (which is lighter)?
I wouldn’t worry too much about the beard shape. But if you have dark hair and light skin, dark glasses will look best (black or dark brown).
Finally👏🏽Someone👏🏽Said👏🏽It
What is the name of the style of frames at 2:46?????????? That is the perfect shape of frames for my face !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Suggestion: to see if you have long or short face take a selfie and measure things easily.
Excellent suggestion.
Lol, my face is exactly 2x3
My face is my shield!
In all seriousness, thank you for the advice; ill use it while on the hunt for sunglasses.
Thank you! I always thought the face shape thing is stupid
