Most faces
Said to suit most face shapes. 74 face guides on EveryFaceShape so far.
Some styles are said to suit most faces: they are balanced enough, light enough or simply adaptable enough to sit on any shape. Stubble, a well-kept moustache, rimless frames and kohl-lined eyes are common examples. And most stylists agree that confidence and comfort count for more than any face-shape chart.
Light and adaptable
Rimless and semi-rimless frames have little frame front, so they change a face's balance least. Aviators and wayfarers come in many sizes and are worn across face shapes. Stubble trimmed to a few millimetres follows the jaw whatever its shape. Kohl and kajal follow the line of each eye.
Wear what you like
Face-shape advice is a starting point. Many people wear styles a chart would not suggest and look entirely themselves. Faith marks such as the bindi, the tilak and the unshorn beard are worn for meaning, not face shape. EveryFaceShape gives stylists' suggestions as guidance only.
