  • If you've ever been told that the right shape of glasses should be based on your face shape, it's wrong! In this video I explain the visual effects that glasses have on your facial proportions, and what kind of factors are REALLY taken into account in choosing the best glasses for your face.
    Celebrity examples for today's video are: Ali Wong, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Zooey Deschanel.

    As a person that works in optical, this is all great advice. When get your rx in your frames please make sure that the person selling them to you measures your pupillary distance AND your optical center. This allows for the person making the lenses for your frames to center your vision where your eye naturally sits in the frame. And the higher your prescription is, the heavier your lens will be so if you’re getting big frames you’ll be signing up for heavier glasses that will slide more

    • @stylemejenn
      @stylemejenn  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +14

      Agreed - when I had bigger frames I definitely noticed my glasses slid down more so I had to attach extra bridge support!

      True. And because of the shape of my nose, I wear mine down on the nose more then pushed up. Every time I get new frames they are always saying, “Push your glasses up.” And I’m like this is where I wear them. Lol

    I highly recommend that everyone get anti-reflective lenses for their clear glasses, especially if they film, appear on TV, or do public speaking. The reflections from regular clear lenses are distracting and blank out the eyes, which everyone wants to see! It’s only about $30 more or so, and well worth it. If you haven’t tried them in the last decade or so, try again, the newer coatings are so much more durable than they used to be. If you need thicker lenses, try the polycarbonate lenses, they reduce thickness and weight by a lot!

    @Jeshiae 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +27

    I agree 100% on trying glasses on! (It's the only way I feel confident about how things will look even though I am well-versed in eye glass measurements). My face is borderline neo-natal, and the best glasses I've found for my face are actually curved thicker black frames with little wing tips! It matches the lift of my upturned, yet somewhat round eyes while also harmonizing well with the roundness of my nose and face curves.
    I used to wear a rose-gold pair with less contrast in a very similar shape which was fine, but they definitely softened my look even more 😅
    I love the way that glasses are discussed here as a 50/50 (if I'm being honest, more like 70/30) glasses and contact lens wearer. I've transitioned from being an 100% contacts wearer largely because I've learned to pick out glasses I like and suit me.

    One reason to choose frames that are not too wide would also be the distortion that happens at higher precriptions. That distortion of the temples will obviously also affect one's look and in my case, counteracts a few of the other considerations.

    • @stylemejenn
      @stylemejenn  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    You video is a great guide for choosing your glasses! I'm wearing glasses and my first ever glasses that I wore in school were bold green square shape, while I have round, soft and non-prominent feautures, so those glasses looked awful because they were more strong and accentuating than my eyes and whole face. Also they made my eyes look very close-set. Now I'm wearing grey round big translucent glasses, and I think that they really empathise my face really well, they make me look very soft and cute, plus they look good with every makeup style.

    I'm someone who has to try every pair of frames in the shop to find a handful of glasses that look alright.
    I find that the colours of frame and whether the colour blends in or contrast the colours of your facial features really important.
    I don't like black frames on myself because I have thick dark eyebrows and the black of the frame blends in with my eyebrows, which unfortunately gives the look of groucho marx disguise glasses 🥸.
    The one exception is it's a partial black matte frame because then it stands out from the shininess of my eyebrows.

    I wore contacts until I developed a chronic medical problem in one eye and can’t get them prescribed now. So glasses it is. I don’t need them at home, but for driving and going around unfamiliar locations I do. It’s a nuisance because I have to take them off to see the people I’m dining with, distant signs, the menu, etc., so they’re constantly on and off. I have a great collection now, two pairs each of both clear and Rx sunglasses in different styles and colors. I was so broke for so long, I wore my last pair for 25 years or more and didn’t have a backup when they broke for the third time and couldn’t be repaired again. I was determined to always have a backup pair of both indoor and outdoor eyewear, just in case, and to give me some styling options, too. It was expensive, but there’s nothing I wear so often as glasses, they’re so important.

    There is indeed a scientific reason why your eyes need to be in the middle and it's a simple one: that is where you have the best vision. If you go more to the sides of your lenses you'll notice that your vision through them will get distorted a bit. I am no expert and don't know the reason behind it but I did find a youtuber by the name of The Spectacle Factory who specializes in glasses talking about it. I haven't fully watched your video yet so you might disagree with him on some things, but you might find it interesting nonetheless.

    Thank you. I generally disagree with fashion advice that says you should counteract your features. I think that’s the impulse of a person who feels insecure about their body and wants to look different. And it tends to do the opposite thing. It makes those features which the person is already not at peace with look more out of place, only confirming the person’s insecurity. I mean, do counteract your features, but do it to have fun, do it to experiment with different kinds of contrast, do it for the heck if it. But don’t do it to try and “balance things out”.

    As an older person who wears glasses, younger people do not realize how much glasses emphasize eye bags. Large lenses that go below the orbital rim, enlarge those bags. Because of that, I do not like glasses that are so large they rest on my cheek. Also because that feeling bugs me. If the frame of the glasses cuts just above the orbital rim, it casts a shadow on the light that illuminates bags and makes them less noticeable. As with makeup, cat eye glasses give the impression of "lifting" the eyes/face for women. I have an extremely narrow bridge and mostly wear adjustable nose pads because the glasses slide down. I like to see my eyebrows and feel they balance the framing of my eyes when i wear glasses. Glasses that ride my eyelash line totally deprive me of the effect of enlarging eyes as when you get older, eyes become smaller due to eyelid heaviness and just make eyes look heavier. For some reason, large, round lenses without a heavier frame are boring to me and only reinforce the pupil shape where any bold or geometric contrast enlivens the focal point of the eye and face. My two cents.

    I'm curious about how to apply the concepts of facial proportions when a person's face is asymmetrical due to a formation that changes the shape of the face significantly (birthmark in my case).

    Do you have any tips for a face that appears shorter and rounder because of cheek bones/cheeks/not strong jaw? Also a nose that appears like the longest part of the face and a strong feature. So basically short face long nose? Unless there isn’t really a solution for that? With a long face you showed how cutting across horizontally helps. I wonder how to make a face seem less round other than making sure glasses aren’t too narrow.

    • @emilyx8377

      I think that this type of face is classified as having a "long middle third," according to Jenn. That's the type of face I have as well. I personally find that wearing very angular glasses (never round or oval ones) makes my face less round. I also like cat's eye glasses because the upper edges of the frame draw attention to my temples and hair, not the big "blank space" made by my chubby cheeks. It's even better if the upper edges of the frame are decorated with rhinestones. It's a very slimming look for my face. I'm interested in hearing what Jenn has to say on the subject because even though I'm very happy with the glasses I have, I could always use more tips on how to shop for them. Having a chubby face makes it challenging, LOL.

    • @stylemejenn
      @stylemejenn  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If you have a short face but a long middle third, the long middle third actually has a balancing effect on your face because it has a lengthening effect on the face ☺️
      Like the comment below, using more square or rigid frames would counter the roundness of the face as well!

    I feel like because bigger glasses cut the middle third of the face, my tall forehead gets more emphasized.

    Been wearing glasses for...30 years...hated them every single minute of that time. It's not even funny. For a couple years as a teen/young adult, I could get away with wearing contacts, but chronically dry eyes soon put a stop to that. And I'm not a suitable candidate for lasic. It *sucks*.
    I tried so many frames over the years and some I even liked when trying them on in the shop. But as soon as the actual corrective lenses are in...they make my eyes small and the frame somehow takes over my face, visually.

    Omg this explains so much! I have hated wearing glasses bc of the same issue you mentioned; the eyes become tiny and my left eye has astigmatism so the lens makes it wider, thus making my face look super asymmetrical. I have naturally rather big eyes and love really putting focus on them with makeup but would become so discouraged whenever i put my glasses on. I recently got contacts and HOLY MOLY MY EYES ARE HUGE. I got sad not knowing how i actually looked all of this time 🥲 luckily i am prettier than I thought I was! However, i got a new pair of glasses and they look a bit better on me. But still, contacts are a game changer 🥹

    Not enough examples of actual frames. Most of the frames you show are on models to have wide distance from eyebrow to eye. Us "masculine" types can't do that. Bold black frames don't accent eyes, they hide them. All I see is big black border, not eyes, look more like fences on the face. Off-putting . Really hope that style is goes away soon. You are wearing your glasses with your eyes at the very top of the lense and the bottom of the lenses resting on your cheekbones. For me that results in fogged up lenses. I wore that style in the 80s. Never again. Notice you don't mention rimless glasses at all. So I'm not cool I guess.

      Some people might like their philtrum though… why should someone have to change it? That’s like saying “if you have blonde hair- don’t. Dye it brown” It sounds really silly put that way, but that’s your overall message. Like no, a long philtrum is fine. Lets not encourage people to feel bad about their looks. Permanently disfiguring one’s body is not always the best answer, believe it or not. If you want to, fine. But that message “just change it” is very harmful and ridiculous. I’m fine with my longish philtrum. I am the culmination of thousands of years of history, and carry my ancestors genes and looks. That’s something I am proud of.
