Before choosing glasses, it's essential to know your face shape. Common shapes include round, oval, square, rectangular, trapezoidal, etc. Each face shape has its characteristics, and certain frames suit specific shapes better than others. The secret is not to overlay similar shapes. The goal is either to soften the face shape or highlight certain angles, such as the jawline, high cheekbones, or the fineness of the bone structure. Therefore, the first step a stylist takes when analyzing your face is to identify its shape. Once this characteristic is determined, look for frames that complement this shape. For example, round faces can benefit from angular frames to add structure, while square faces can be softened with round or oval frames.

"We can easily compare the frame to makeup," emphasizes artist Anne-Marie Faniel, who was a professional makeup artist for several years. Just like choosing cosmetic products, you need to pay attention to what harmonizes with your color palette. This palette is complex, which is why our stylists trained by Ms. Faniel rely on the science of colors from the color wheel to highlight your best features. Our goal is to select the eyewear frames that suit you best using optimal colors according to your face. For example, for brown eyes, we might opt for harmony with earth tones or the direct complement of this color by choosing frames with blue accents. For green eyes, we might prefer shades of purple or mauve to make the eye color stand out.

The size of the lenses is a crucial element to consider when choosing your frames, especially depending on your prescription. For stronger optical corrections, it's often recommended to choose smaller lenses that better surround the eye. This avoids a distortion effect with the face and ensures a more natural vision. Indeed, too large lenses can accentuate optical distortion, especially at the edges, compromising visual quality.
Additionally, it is essential to pay attention to the smooth transition from distance vision to near vision with the highest quality progressive lenses. This transition should be seamless for an optimal visual experience. Therefore, it's advisable to opt for lenses with a certain height, allowing for a proper integration of progressive lenses while offering an adequate field of vision at all distances. Our certified opticians are trained to guide you to optimize your vision with lenses tailored to your needs.
