Anyone who wears glasses knows that they are the ones most often noticed. They also change their face. What should we do so that this accessory changes our face correctly - makes it younger, for example? Let's figure it out.
What frames reduce age?
Yes exactly. There are others like that. Many films have taught us that if you take off a girl’s glasses (usually heavy and dark frames), she will immediately become a beauty. The technique is, of course, effective. Just imagine that it could be the other way around: glasses chosen correctly in shape and color will make their owner more elegant, more feminine, hide imperfections and even take a couple of years off. For example, frames with rounded lenses, without sharp corners, can reduce the age. Properly selected glasses will smooth out cheekbones and chin that have become sharper with age.
How to choose the “right” frame
The most important criterion when choosing is she must be age appropriate. The glasses you wore 20 years ago will definitely not fit. Even if it was very fashionable and good before and you are used to this form of glasses, you should not choose them again and again. Don't be afraid to try something new. Maybe you will find an option that will look better now. And replace the much-loved, but not entirely suitable narrow and dark “rectangles” that gave you audacity and charm ten years ago.
By the way, about creative glasses, oversaturated with details, color or having a strange shape. Even if these huge pentagons − the last squeak of the season, avoid them or, at least, be critical. At least they definitely won’t hide their age.
But massive light-colored frames that are coming into fashion are worthy of attention. Only the shape should be round and the colors should not be too dark. These glasses will rejuvenate your face, diverting attention from small details that you would like to hide.
Women over 50 years old, when wrinkles under the eyes betray age treacherously and cannot be hidden by any cosmetics, should consider the option with gradient tinted glass. Such glasses will mask not only fine wrinkles, but also bags and circles under the eyes. Glasses with such lenses will add elegance and femininity, no matter what their shape.
Important! It is better not to use glasses with gradient lenses for young girls. They will not only add seriousness to them, but will also add a couple of years to their lives.
Don't forget the diopters you wear. change eye size. It is clear that transparent “far-sighted” glasses enlarge not only the eyes themselves, but also drooping eyelids and wrinkles. Make sure that your makeup is blended smoothly and do not use aggressive color accents.
Women who wear negative glasses know that such glasses make their eyes appear smaller. Draw the fold of the upper eyelid towards the eyebrow well - this way you will reduce the “overhang” of the skin, and your eyes will appear larger.
Does color influence your choice?
Of course, the color of the frame can dramatically affect the entire look. Do you remember what glasses those “ugly girls” wore in the movies? They wore heavy dark frames, which, moreover, did not suit their face shape. This was done on purpose so that the effect of transforming an ugly woman into a beauty would be more noticeable.
If you do not plan to amaze others with such radical changes in appearance - give up black frames. You can choose brown, purple, burgundy or, even better, pink or lilac. These colors make everyone look younger, always.
Don't overdo it with gold and sparkles. This is not only the last century, they will also add a couple of years.
Pay attention to the color of the glass. Avoid cool shades. Gray, gray-green glass will remind you of Soviet pensioners whose eyes hurt. But red shades will go well with blue eyes. Large glasses with a reddish gradient in a light, no-frills frame are simply an ideal option.
Which frames are contraindicated?
In addition to the blind black frames, about which everything has already been said, Be wary of thin metal frames. Even if it seems to you that they are invisible and you look good in them. The truth is that they are truly “invisible”. The glass is transparent, which means wrinkles are visible. Thin wire frames also do not hide anything and do not distract from, for example, pronounced nasolabial folds or jowls. Of course, these defects cannot be hidden with glasses, but it is very possible to distract the attention of your interlocutor.
You should be careful with reading glasses or the famous “halves”. They suit men with a white beard and even become their calling card. But for elegant ladies, it’s better to wear this fragment of the professorial image alone with a book and only a book!
Square glasses without frames are also not suitable.. Their disadvantage is not only invisibility. They are irrevocably outdated. In addition, the square shape of the glass will add rigidity to the face, and this should be avoided.
Interesting: glasses with anti-aging effect
What modern designers can’t come up with! Even glasses with a lifting effect. In fact the shape of the frame “butterfly” or “cat’s eye” has been known for more than one generation. This form either comes into fashion, then ceases to be in trend, then, having changed, returns to the pages of fashion magazines. And the whole point is that the raised corners of the frame seem to lift the face, pulling up the outer corners of the eyes and cheekbones. So wear these frames - this is a great way to tighten your facial contours without the help of a surgeon.
And one more tip: choose frames to suit your face shape. Remember that:
- square glasses will look better on a round face;
- those with an oval face can wear glasses of almost any shape;
- “aviators” - glasses so versatile that they will suit anyone;
- “cat” frames also look good on any type of face, except that they are not very suitable for a triangular one, but even here you can try and find something with the corners up (have you forgotten about “lifting”?).
Follow the advice, but remember that until you try on the frames, you will not understand whether they are yours or not. Don't be afraid to choose and be beautiful!
