Which eyeglass frame helps you look younger?

Those who wear glasses know that they are most often paid attention to. And they change their face. What to do so that this accessory changes our face correctly - makes it younger, for example? Let's get it right.

What frames "reduce" age?

Yes exactly. There are some. Many films taught us that if you remove glasses from a girl (usually in a heavy and dark frame), then she will immediately become a beauty. The reception, of course, is effective. Just imagine what could be the other way round: correctly selected glasses in shape and color will make their holder more elegant, more feminine, hide their imperfections and even take away a couple of years. For example, they can reduce the age of the frame with rounded glasses, without sharp corners . Correctly selected glasses will smooth cheekbones and chin, which have aggravated with age.

How to choose the "right" frame

The most important criterion when choosing - it should be suitable for age . The glasses that you wore 20 years ago will definitely not work. Even if before it was very fashionable and good and you are used to this form of glasses - you should not choose them again and again. Do not be afraid to try something new. Maybe you will find the option that will now look better. And replace the beloved, but not quite suitable narrow and dark "rectangles" that ten years ago gave you audacity and charm.

By the way, about creative glasses, oversaturated with details, color or having a strange shape. Even if these huge pentagons are the last squeak of the season, get around them or at least be critical . At least, they certainly will not hide their age.

But the massive frames of light shades that come into fashion are worthy of attention. Only the shape should be rounded and the colors not too dark . Such glasses will rejuvenate the face, diverting attention from small details that I would like to hide.

Women after 50 years, when the wrinkles under the eyes betray age, and you can’t hide them with any makeup, you should consider the option with gradient darkened glasses . Such glasses will mask not only small wrinkles, but also bags and circles under the eyes. Glasses with such glasses will add elegance and femininity, whatever form they may be.

Important! It is better not to use glasses with gradient glasses for young girls. They will not only add seriousness to them, but also add a couple of years.

Do not forget that the diopters that you wear. change the size of the eyes. It is clear that transparent "far-sighted" glasses increase not only the eyes themselves, but also the overhanging eyelids and wrinkles. Make sure that the makeup is smoothly shaded, and do not use aggressive color accents.

Women wearing negative glasses know that such glasses make their eyes smaller. Well draw the fold of the upper eyelid to the eyebrow - so you reduce the “overhang” of the skin, and the eyes will appear larger.

Does color influence the choice?

Of course, the color of the frame can dramatically affect the whole image. Do you remember what glasses the “ugly girls” wore in the cinema? They wore heavy dark frames, which, moreover, did not fit the shape of the face. This was done on purpose, so that the effect of turning the ugly woman into a beauty was more noticeable.

If you do not plan to amaze others with such radical changes in appearance - refuse black frames . You can choose brown, purple, burgundy or, even better - pink or lilac. These colors are youthful and always.

Do not 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 cold shades . Gray, gray-green glasses will remind the Soviet pensioners, whose eyes hurt. But the red shades will go well with blue eyes. Large glass with a reddish gradient in a light frame with no frills - just perfect.

What frames are contraindicated?

In addition to the deaf black frames, about which everything has already been said, cautiously approach 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”. Glasses are transparent - that means wrinkles are visible. Thin wire frames also do not hide anything and do not distract from, for example, pronounced nasolabial folds or brylya. The points of these defects, of course, cannot be hidden, but it is very possible to distract the interlocutor’s attention.

You should be careful with reading glasses or the famous “halves” . They suit men with a white beard, they even become their business card. But for elegant ladies this splinter from the professorial image is better to wear alone with a book and only with a book!

Square rimless glasses also will not work . Their minus is not only in invisibility. They are irrevocably outdated. In addition, the square shape of the glass will add stiffness to the face, and this should be avoided.

Interesting: glasses with anti-aging effect

What modern designers will not come up with! Even glasses with a lifting effect. In fact, the shape of the frame "butterfly" or "cat's eye" is known for more than one generation . This form either enters into fashion, then ceases to be in trend, then, having changed, returns to the pages of fashion magazines. And the thing is that the raised corners of the rim, as it were, also raise the face, pulling up the outer corners of the eyes and cheekbones. So wearing such a frame is a great way to tighten the contour of the face without the help of a surgeon.

And one more tip: choose a frame to the shape of your face . Remember that:

  • square glasses will look better on a round face;
  • holders of an oval face can wear glasses of almost any shape;
  • “Aviators” - glasses are so universal that they suit anyone;
  • “Cat” frames also look good on any type of face, unless they are very suitable for a triangular one, but here you can try and find something with the corners up (didn’t you forget about the “lifting”?).

Follow the tips, but remember that until you try on the frame, you won’t understand whether they are yours or not. Do not be afraid to choose and be beautiful!
