Oval
A gentle curve balances a delicate chin.
The best glasses for heart-shaped faces
The best styles for a heart-shaped face are oval, round, rimless, aviator and gentle cat-eye frames. They keep the top light and bring balance down toward the chin.
What makes a face heart
A heart-shaped face is widest at the forehead and tapers to a narrower chin. The aim is balance. Lighter frames stop the brow line from feeling heavy, and shapes that sit a little wider at the bottom give the lower face more presence. Clean squares and rectangles can work too when the corners stay light.
What to watch for
Be careful with very heavy, dark upper rims, which add more weight to the widest part of your face.
