Round

Your Face Is | Roughly the same in width as it is in height; round faces have no sharply-defined jawlines or pointed chins, with a soft, feminine look to them.

Celebrity Face Shape Twin | Jennifer Lawrence, Cameron Diaz, Emma Stone and Ginnifer Goodwin all have round faces.

Your Ray-Bans Are | The Ray-Ban Wayfarer; perfect for elongating round faces. The geometric shape of the frames adds angles and lines to the softness of your shape.

Oval

Your Face Is | Hailed as the perfect face shape, oval faces are slightly narrower than they are wide. With no jutting-out cheekbones or jawlines – just beautiful subtle contours.

Celebrity Face Shape Twin | Eva Mendes, Beyonce, Gisele and Jessica Alba are a few of the lucky ladies blessed with an oval face shape.

Your Ray-Bans Are | Any and all! Those with an oval face can get away with almost every pair of sunglasses. Play around with colours, finishes and sizes when choosing your Ray-Bans.

Square

Your Face Is | With an angular bone structure, a square face is extremely striking. Think of a wider jawline – the same width as the hairline, too.

Celebrity Face Shape Twin | Keira Knightley, Olivia Wilde and Rachel McAdams all rock a defined jawline and square face shape.

Your Ray-Bans Are | Ray-Bans with a curved shape are ideal for those with a square face. Frames with rounder lenses, such as Aviators, do a great job of balancing out jawlines.

Heart

Your Face Is | Wider across the cheeks with a narrower chin, a heart shaped face traditionally has a widow’s peak hairline and defined jawline.

Celebrity Face Shape Twin | Kourtney Kardashian, Reese Witherspoon, Miranda Kerr and Madonna are your heart-shaped-face-sisters.

Your Ray-Bans Are | Choose light-coloured lenses with thin frames – think pale Aviators – or those which are semi-rimless, like the Clubmaster design.
