Focus on the forehead and jawline. Gliding product across the perimeter of the face helps to create a more rounded
shape, softening the look of the corners of the face which are often more prominent and pointed on a square face.

type of face.To draw focus to your strongest features, choose a rounded, rather than angular, frame. It will soften as
well as add contrast to your angular features, making your best features shine. Rimless and semi-rimless styles are a
great place to start.

narrow jawline and narrow forehead. Cheekbones are the widest part of the face and are slightly angular with a sharp
jawline. Diamond-shaped faces are the rarest face shape and are characterized by
