Glasses and short hair. How to look good with glasses? What frame shape suits chubby beauties?

Most men don't particularly like shopping. And certainly the absolute minority of representatives of the stronger sex last time chose glasses not according to the principle “so that the price suits them and the quality is normal,” but by trying on which pair would look better on their face. But the first impression that a true gentleman makes depends on the right accessories, a suitable haircut and a well-groomed beard. To look great, it's important to know your face shape before changing your look.

Determining the shape of the face

Lifehacker has already written about how to determine your face shape using a mirror and a marker. In short: you need to take several measurements. Determine the length from the hairline to the chin and three widths: forehead, cheekbones and jaw. Now compare the measurement results.

• If your face is proportional, the length is slightly longer than the widest part, with pronounced cheekbones - you have oval type faces.
• If the length of the face is noticeably greater than the width, the chin is wide and angular, and the forehead and jaw are approximately the same width - you have rectangular type faces.
• If the length and width are approximately equal, the cheekbones and forehead coincide in width with a weakly defined chin - you have round type faces.
• If the length and width of your face practically coincide, but your forehead is angular and your chin is pronounced, you have square type faces.
• If your jaw line is the widest, with defined cheekbones and a narrowed forehead, you have triangular type faces.
• If the length of your face is not much greater than the width, but the cheekbones are the widest, and the chin has rounded outlines, you have diamond type faces.
• If the length of the face is not much greater than the width, the forehead or cheekbones are the widest, and the chin is pointed towards the bottom - your face is type "inverted triangle".

Choosing the right hairstyle

Determine what shape your face is and use the picture to find a suitable haircut. All of them are aimed at balancing the shortcomings and emphasizing the advantages of each type of face: visually narrowing too wide parts or shortening long ones.

Choosing glasses and the right beard shape

For oval face shape

An oval face is the ideal by default, and this is the shape we will try to give to other types using visual tricks. In principle, any model of glasses and facial hair will suit you. But we will still give a couple of recommendations.

• Avoid things that disturb the balance of the face: round large glasses, thick bangs that completely cover the forehead, narrow sideburns that elongate the face.
• The symmetry of the face is emphasized by geometrically correct shapes. And the classic model of rectangular glasses with rounded edges.

Rectangular face shape

Since your face itself is full of straight lines (cheekbones, jawline, elongation), our task is to soften it a little.

• Wide glasses with rounded lenses are ideal. For example, aviators.

• Avoid narrow rectangular models: they will narrow the oval of the face even more.
• We do not recommend experimenting with goatee, goatee and other beards that visually elongate the face.
• Short or medium-length beards framing the chin will add harmony. They will hide a long chin and make facial features smoother.

Round face shape

To balance a round face, you need to visually lengthen the forehead-nose-chin line and add a little structure.

• Avoid round or elongated rectangular glasses. Instead, pay attention to more square models like these:

• A temple-to-temple stubble, a trapezoidal beard, or the aforementioned goatee and goatee will look good on you.

• A mustache with the tips down looks just as good.

Square face shape

Owners of a strong-willed square should add softness to the image and elongate the vertical of the face.

• Rectangular glasses with right angles will visually make your forehead heavier. Give preference to rounded models that taper downward: aviators and their various variations are suitable.

• To elongate your face, focus on your chin. Combine mustache and beard combinations and you will find your ideal option.

• A smoothly trimmed Skipper or Amish beard running along the jawline will soften a strong chin. We warn you: you should not overdo it with the length of such vegetation.

Triangular face shape

The “triangles” have an obvious advantage towards the jaw, but it can be easily neutralized with a few simple techniques.

• Wear glasses with a massive upper arch: their width will visually increase the horizontal line of your forehead. Choose rounded models, they will soften a strong-willed chin.

• Trim your beard so that it hides your chin. To do this, the hair should cover the lower part of the face, as in the picture:

• Even short stubble, like Brad Pitt's, will smooth out your jawline.

Diamond face shape

A diamond face is widest at the cheekbones. We will visually lengthen and balance it by adding volume to the forehead and chin.

• Choose glasses with large, downward lenses. Massive wide arches should be avoided - do not put unnecessary emphasis on the cheekbones.

• A beard is an excellent assistant for visually enlarging the lower jaw. You can grow a massive one (from temple to temple) or leave volume directly on the chin.

• A properly chosen beard shape will not only make your face more symmetrical, but will also add masculinity and brutality.

Inverted triangle face shape

Men with this type of face have a prominent forehead, which, although it speaks of the remarkable intelligence of the owner, still violates the harmony of perception. To look perfect, let’s divert attention from it and widen the pointed chin.

• Take a closer look at glasses with thin arms, especially models with rounded corners.

• Strengthen your jaw with an impressive beard: running along the jawline, from temple to temple, with additional emphasis under the cheekbones.

• By the way, majestic sideburns like Lincoln's are perfect for you. And to make your face look longer, shave your chin area.

Beauties with a round face type are considered very gentle and feminine representatives of the fair sex. And in order to emphasize all the beauty and harmony given by nature, a round face needs to be visually elongated a little, or rather, the forehead should be made a little higher and the cheekbones narrowed.

Eyebrows for a round face shape

For girls with a round face, the following type of eyebrows is suitable:

• the eyebrows should be upward, that is, the tip of the eyebrows should be at a level slightly above the temple.
• The arch of the eyebrow should be shaped like a gull's wing.
• rounded eyebrow shape for a round face. But unlike ordinary rounded eyebrows, these ones have a curve that should be shifted to the upper edge of the eye.

Create an irresistible look with the perfect haircut

The right approach to choosing a haircut will help lengthen your face a little. The first right step is to give your hair volume. If you prefer a short haircut, you can lift your hair a little with a hair dryer and hair foam. If your hair is long, simple curls will come in handy.

The ideal option for chubby beauties would be a haircut made with a ladder. If you pay attention to the world stage, you will notice a trend that celebrities with a round face shape give their preference to haircuts with a ladder. This haircut has several levels, the shortest hair length is below the chin, and the longest is below the shoulders.

We recommend hairstyles for round faces that are elegantly pulled up and secured with beautiful accessories. To this design you can add a couple of curls going down to the shoulders; they will slightly cover the cheeks and elongate the face, while creating a romantic image.

It is better to wear bangs on one side. You should not make it very thick, even and straight, this will make your forehead heavier and droop. You can wear any selection, but you can even remove your hair from your face and do without bangs.

Let's summarize the haircuts and hairstyles. Give preference to voluminous haircuts; you can do a light curl or lift your hair up and secure it with a hair clip. In addition, the good old comb has never let anyone down when it comes to adding volume to hair.

Let's talk about makeup for a round face shape

Proper makeup will make it possible to slightly adjust the proportion of the face, or rather narrow the area of ​​the cheekbones, make the chin sharper, and raise the forehead. In fact, everything is not as complicated as it looks at first glance. To do this we do the following:

• Apply matte powder, blush or dark foundation to the temples, cheeks and cheekbones;
• Apply the same dark tone to the area near the nose, on the sides;
• darken the skin in the chin area on both sides and apply dark powder or blush under the cheekbones;
• We make the eyebrows upward, preferably angular, you can slightly tint them.

Eye makeup is important. Firstly, no horizontal lines, as they can greatly expand the face. It is better to draw arrows that are not very long and raised upward. This rule also applies to eye shadow. Curled and brightly colored eyelashes look impressive. It is recommended to tint only the upper lashes and not touch the lower ones.

You should not make a long horizontal line from your lips, which will emphasize the round shape of your face. There is no need to highlight the corners of your lips with a pencil. A little light shine will be enough.

What frame shape suits chubby beauties?

It is best to choose glasses with sharp and sharp corners. No round glasses. The shape of glasses for a round face can be rectangular, triangular or square.

Glasses should not be narrower than the face itself; it is better if they are a little wider.

We have already discussed what an important and appearance-changing accessory GLASSES are. They become part of your image, and, to some extent, part of yourself, so no one will argue with the fact that the choice of frames should be approached with feeling, sense, and arrangement.

There is one more point that needs to be taken into account. How the frame you choose fits with the HAIRSTYLE or STYLING TYPE that you wear most often. As practice and long-term observations show, this is very, very important.

Glasses and hairstyle TOGETHER should work to highlight your strengths and beauty. The BALANCE between them is what makes the image more attractive. The size of the lenses, the shape and massiveness of the frames should be in harmony with the length of the hair, the presence of bangs and the overall volume of the hairstyle. Therefore, even if you DO NOT wear glasses all the time, but only on an as-needed basis, be sure to take them with you to the hair salon to get a clear picture of how the new haircut/style fits with the shape of the frames.

I. GLASSES AND BANGS

To cut or not to cut your bangs? A question you just need to ask yourself if you wear glasses. In most cases, bangs perfectly balance a massive frame, giving the image a pretty look, but not entirely successful options are also possible.

• First of all, it is necessary to take into account the FACE SHAPE and its PROPORTIONS. The face can be roughly divided into three zones:
  
  • Upper - Forehead;
  • Medium - From the eyebrows to the base of the nose;
  • Lower - From the base of the nose to the chin.

  These “parts” are rarely equal in height, which must be remembered when changing your hairstyle. In this case, cutting your bangs.

  For example, if the forehead is HIGH, then sometimes bangs are simply necessary to make the face proportional. BUT what happens when you put on glasses?

  If the proportions are met, then the face will look harmonious. But, if with a high forehead you have a narrow middle part of the face (from the eyebrows to the base of the nose), then glasses (especially large ones) in combination with voluminous bangs will look TOO HEAVY and disproportionate. This doesn't mean you have to give up bangs. It is enough to adjust its shape;

• The shape and length of your bangs have a significant impact on your look. For some ladies, the decision to cut bangs is a rather risky step, which, however, can be quite justified if you wear glasses. As I said above, remember balance. Perhaps what suits your favorite frame is not straight bangs, but arched ones, or with a torn effect, or long oblique ones, or even extremely short ones. Such a seemingly trifle can radically affect the proportions of the face and the image as a whole;
• HAIR COLOR matters too. Brunettes and brown-haired women who choose thick bangs should be very careful. STRAIGHT bangs on dark hair create a noticeable contrast, something like a HARD RECTANGULAR FRAME around the face. Let's add glasses... Will it look good? Perhaps “YES”, and perhaps “NO”. If the result seems too active-aggressive for you, try side-swept bangs. It frames the face differently and looks much softer and more feminine.

  Blondes have it a little easier. Blonde hair does not contrast so much with the skin of the face, so bangs will not clearly conflict with glasses.

I myself changed my hairstyle at the same time I purchased new glasses. I REALLY love the combination with bangs. In my opinion, it softens the severity and seriousness of a massive frame, making the image flirty and even touching.

II. GLASSES AND LONG HAIR

Long flowing hair and glasses are incredibly sexy. Of course, we are talking about beautiful and well-groomed hair, and not about sadly hanging “mouse tails” of the appropriate color.

• If you wear glasses with a STRICT SQUARE SHAPE, the look will be more feminine if you style it with light “natural” waves. Straight and smooth hair, on the contrary, will emphasize the sharp lines of the frame and give your appearance coldness and restraint.
• I also noticed that MASSIVE GLASSES look much better when the strands framing the face are shorter than the main body of hair. The length to the chin allows you to create additional volume around the face, balancing the frame and harmonizing proportions.
• Another way to create harmony between glasses and hair is to DYE THE STRANS near the face 1-2 shades lighter. This way you will add volume to your hair, liven up your hairstyle and face as a whole, and the glasses will be perceived a little less strictly and formally.

III. GLASSES AND MEDIUM LENGTH HAIR

Modern frames look great with medium-length hair. It is important to understand what kind of image you want to create “at the end”.

Choose SMOOTH CARE, you get a “librarian”. The degree of its “coldness” depends on the shape and size of the glasses. If the frame is thin and the glass is small, then you will smell inaccessible from a few meters away. And if you choose original frames in the style of the 50s, the degree of attractiveness will undoubtedly increase.

SOFT WAVES will make your look feminine and romantic. And BANGS will add decisiveness or, conversely, mystery.

Rectangular and trapezoidal frames () are very suitable for “geometric” long haircuts. The symmetry of the repeating lines of glasses and hairstyle will look a little aggressive, but very harmonious.

IV. GLASSES AND SHORT HAIRCUT

A short haircut is ideal for dynamic, self-confident young ladies who “love” their glasses and are not embarrassed to wear them. Jokes aside, the shorter the hair, the more noticeable the glasses are. They seem to come to the fore and become the main accessory that defines the style. Remember this. A short haircut + massive glasses is not just a choice, it is a position that you need to be able to “wear.”

By the way, this is exactly the case when it is better to first go to the hairdresser, and only then to the optician. Otherwise, you run a very big risk that the frame will not fit into your new look at all.

V. GLASSES AND SMOOTH HAIRSTYLE

Glasses and combed hair are the same “cramming girl” whose image has scared us since school. To go beyond the cliché, you need to choose ORIGINAL FRAME (perfectly suited to a “naked” face), COSTUME JEWELRY and MAKEUP.

In addition, I would like to remind you that such a hairstyle, by and large, can be afforded by a young lady with exceptionally regular facial features, the shape of the skull and, dare I say it, ears. Otherwise, the result and the reaction of others is quite predictable.

It is also worth noting that when wearing glasses with a smooth hairstyle, you need to pay special attention to your face and hair. The skin should be in perfect condition, the makeup should be flawless, and the hair should be clean and shiny. Only then will you give the impression of a sophisticated and elegant lady. The paradox is that in life it turns out exactly the opposite. A ponytail or bun is done when the hair is dirty, you are too lazy to put on makeup, and in general you are in a disgusting mood.

What to do about it?

Finally, stop perceiving “hair removed” as salvation during “critical days.” If you can’t adequately maintain long hair, choose a hairstyle that suits your level of employment.

On the other hand, for those who, despite all their beliefs, prefer ponytails to loose hair, there is still a way out...

VI. GLASSES AND “SLIGHT CAREFULNESS”

Slight carelessness in hair and clothing does not mean being unkempt or sloppy. “Considered negligence” is a difficult concept for conservatives and perfectionists who do not want to deviate from rules and beliefs. Those who strive for idealism, relax! Perfection doesn't exist. And if it does exist, then most likely it is unbearably boring. Cute features and “flaws” are much more attractive. They are usually called "highlights".

For each woman and for each face shape there is its own personal version of “slight negligence”. These could be hairs coming out of the hairstyle; thin strands that softly and unobtrusively frame the face; a carelessly pinned bun; a “disheveled” braid or a low, original tied ponytail. Such little things “distract attention”, making the image light, airy, dynamic, romantic and perfectly complementing the expressive and non-standard frame.

Find your “slight negligence” and you will be happy!

IMPORTANT:
This wonderful way of creating an image in most cases is NOT SUITABLE for ladies who have passed the age of 55 (although there are happy exceptions). When youth fades, slight negligence is acceptable in clothing, but not in hairstyle. A sedate lady with disheveled hair looks more like a witch than a nymph.

VII. GLASSES AND A MESSY BUN ON THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD

The word “bun” sends a shiver of disgust through my entire body, so I prefer to use the term “CAUSE BUN ON THE TOP OF HEAD.” I first saw this hairstyle on a Swedish colleague about 8 years ago. At first I thought it was the height of bad taste, but gradually I got used to it and over time began to find a certain charm and piquancy in it.

If you are a schoolgirl, student or just a young woman under 30. If you wear MASSIVE FRAME GLASSES and everything that I wrote about above is close to you (see Point VI), then such a careless bun will suit you just perfectly.

Note that this hairstyle will look good not only with a casual style, but also with an evening outfit. In principle, it will even go well with a business suit, but then the “negligence” should be minimal, and all other components of the image should be in perfect order.

What is good about this particular bun option? It's simple. It creates BALANCE by balancing the ACTIVE FRAME with its “disheveled” look and placement high on the crown.

VIII. GLASSES AND RETRO HAIR STYLE

Large glasses of an original shape will look chic with a retro-style hairstyle. Whether it will be a 50s-style hairstyle with a Cat-Eye frame, a babette with the iconic Clubmasters, or something completely different, it’s up to you. The main thing is to complete the image and choose the right clothes and accessories.

If you like extreme femininity, pay attention to the styles, they are simply created for romantic hairstyles and unusual frames. If classic styles seem to you to smell like mothballs, come up with something of your own. Why not?

P.S. Why do I keep talking about big glasses? I explained this in detail in the article about. The point is not only that they are fashionable and relevant today, but that they look creative and less banal. They decorate a woman, and do not make her look like a “blue stocking”.

P.S.S. To summarize the above. Glasses are an accessory, and the accessory must be combined with other details. When choosing glasses, remember about your hairstyle. When going to the hairdresser, take your glasses with you, otherwise they may not fit into your new look.

You can do two things at once - buy new fashionable glasses, order stylish frames and cut off your bangs. Or, you already have a favorite frame, and you are planning to radically change your image and get bangs. In any case, you will need our advice! To make the image stunning and stunningly attractive, experts from TM “Placent Formula” and “Lanier” reveal all the subtleties of combining the “incompatible”: about bangs, glasses and beauty!

Of course, you should feel comfortable and comfortable wearing glasses. But they should not spoil the image, the crown of which, as you know, is the hairstyle. How to find your style, the “golden mean” so that the length of your hair, bangs and the shape of your glasses frames fit perfectly and make you even more attractive?

With or without bangs?

Bangs can magically take off a decade and rejuvenate your look. She is always on trend. But there is one “but”! How does this hairstyle element fit with glasses? Stylists advise that before choosing a bang option, pay attention to the proportions of your appearance.

For example, if you have a high forehead and a narrow face shape from the eyebrows to the base of the nose (middle part of the face), do not expect proportionality from thick bangs in combination with large, massive glasses. In this case, it’s either better to forget about bangs altogether, or choose your own option.

Today you can find sites for so-called online fittings of glasses and hairstyles. We advise you to do a virtual experiment on yourself before going to the hairdresser. This way you can easily match your bangs to your favorite frame. Keep in mind that even such a little thing as the length of the bangs and hair color play an important role in the attractiveness of the image.

Let's say you are a hot brunette with thick hair. If you cut off straight bangs, your face will look like it’s in a frame: on dark hair, this type of bangs always creates contrast. What about glasses? This can result in a rather aggressive image. What if you get side bangs? Already softer and more feminine.

For fair-haired girls, choosing bangs to go with glasses is easier, since this hair color does not create a contrast with the face.

Options for bangs and glasses frames: choose yours!

Long bangs on one side: These bangs are perfect for any face shape and look great with any frame. However, to prevent long bangs from falling endlessly onto your glasses and making you feel uncomfortable, choose cat-eye frames with high corners. Looks very stylish!

Straight arched bangs: The famous American singer Zooey Deschanel, the owner of just such a pretty bang, wears glasses with large round lenses. Quite cute! If you have cute features, a rounded chin, a small nose, this option is for you. Straight bangs and round glasses will also help soften angular face shapes.

Long bangs with glasses: One great thing about all long bangs is the variety of styles. You can pin these bangs up, lay them to one side, curl them, or leave them loose. In addition, they fit perfectly with any frame and face type.

Short bangs: such bangs can be straight or angular, in any case, the strands only reach the middle of the forehead. Typically, such bangs are chosen by those who are afraid that in combination with glasses their face will be “lost.” Also, such bangs never interfere and focus attention on the eyes.

As you can see, glasses do not prevent you from being tempted by bangs. The main thing is to choose the one that perfectly suits your style and does not upset the important balance of the combination of facial proportions and glasses.

To keep your bangs moving, shiny and beautiful, use Aerobics conditioner spray with jojoba oil for styling. Many people lovingly call this product a “home stylist” for its amazing properties of giving your hair the effect of a salon styling, restoring damaged and lifeless strands literally before your eyes!

If you decide to grow your bangs again, and want to do it very quickly, placental lotion “Placenta Formula” or an innovative drug with placenta extract and aloe vera “Lanier Classic” will help you!

Cheat sheet for selecting points:

New Year is coming - the best time for change! The bespectacled people at OptiClub offer to start the changes with themselves, right on the festive night.

Where does a woman who wants to change her life usually start? Yes, that's right, with the hair! But there is one point: it must be combined with glasses. How to do this? After twirling in front of the mirror and talking with stylists, we found a solution to this glasses dilemma.

Bangs first of all!

Bangs look great with glasses. Don't be limited, any length and shape of bangs is suitable for glasses. This part of the hairstyle makes the look softer, more romantic and feminine. To decide on the shape, you need to proceed from the features of your face structure and hair color. Ladies with dark hair should be more careful with straight, thick bangs. The thing is that dark hair color contrasts significantly with skin tone. As a result, the image becomes very strict. Dark-haired and bespectacled people look best with side-swept bangs. It looks very playful and cute.

Smooth and tall

A sleek hairstyle in combination with glasses turns any young lady into the image of that same cramming girl, because of which she is actually afraid to pick up corrective glasses. In fact, glasses combined with sleek and high hairstyles can look very bad. But if you make some adjustments to the image, it can become more than seductive.

When choosing hairstyles of this type, keep in mind that they are very demanding. The skin of the face should be very clean, without pimples, blackheads, peeling, scratches, etc. Facial features should be regular, teeth should be straight and white. The shape of the skull and ears must be correct. Please also note that the hair should not only be clean, but also shiny. The reason for such high demands is that such hairstyles reveal all the appearance features of their owner. It depends on you what exactly your hairstyle will show others - your magnificence, or a whole string of shortcomings.

With such hairstyles, sophisticated makeup looks great. To create a stunning look, we recommend wearing a dress or blouse with a deep neckline, decorating yourself with a necklace, a massive pendant, or a choker. A very appropriate addition would be earrings: shiny studs, massive ones, or long metal earrings.

Long and loose

Long hair combined with any glasses is damn sexy. True, to allow yourself to show off a loose braid, it is important that your hair is thick, soft and shiny. Long and straight hair + glasses = strict and unapproachable, like a Snow Queen. To transform from snowy to soft, get a curling iron, curlers, or braid wet braids at night. Soft curls, curls and lush styling create a very delicate and feminine look. The ends curled inwards or outwards also make the look romantic and light.

Any glasses look great with such hairstyles.

Extravagant negligence

A low and loosely pulled ponytail, carelessly pinned hair, strands knocked out of the hairstyle, a disheveled bun at the very top of the head - make the look original and unusual. These hairstyles look great not only with glasses, but also with any style of clothing. True, if you are over 55, such hairstyles can only be done on Halloween.

Retro hairstyles

If you like correction in unusual frames, or wear large cat-eye glasses, drops, aviators, etc., retro-style hairstyles will suit you very well. Babette was simply made for cat glasses!

What about haircuts?

Short haircuts combined with glasses create a somewhat tough or very nerdy look. Those who want to take on the image of a librarian should boldly make a bob. Geometric haircuts should match the shape of the frame. True, this look is a little rude and categorical.

If you really want to get a haircut, do a cascade. It is better to cut the front strands of hair a little shorter. The shortest row should reach the edge of the face. This will give your face softness and volume to your hair. To further refresh and soften the look, color the front strands in a shade 2 shades lighter than your hair color.

Very briefly

Women who like to cut their hair very short, like a boy's haircut, should take into account that such a hairstyle will turn glasses into an attitude in life. They will cease to be an accessory, becoming a clear characteristic. The main focus will shift to them. Designer frames and glasses without rims will look good with such haircuts.

Important, important, important!

When going to the hairdresser, don't forget to take your glasses with you. Even if you don't wear them all the time, your outfit should coordinate with them.

Love yourself and your glasses!
