Women tend to experiment in changing their appearance. Perhaps that is why all the girls love to try on glasses at least occasionally. Models selected specifically for a round face will delight their owner with the admiring glances of others.
General tips
It is no secret that today on the market there are several types of glasses. Solar, computer, massage, with and without diopters - all of them must be selected correctly.
The consequences of wearing uncomfortable glasses:
- headache;
- fatigue;
- pain in the eyes;
- the progression of myopia or hyperopia.
Often, doctors observe such symptoms in people who have bought ready-made glasses with attractive prices. It is worth remembering that the finished accessory for the mass consumer does not take into account:
- distance between the pupils;
- differences in diopters for each eye;
- face parameters.
Such models put pressure on the nose, temporal zones and fall off when the head is tilted down. On this basis, ophthalmologists unanimously and persistently recommend purchasing glasses exclusively in large optic salons to order, especially when it comes to vision-correcting glasses. Experts are more loyal to models that protect against the rays of the scorching sun, but they also do not get tired of talking about convenience, which should be noticeable at the time of the first fitting.
Selection rules for each:
- points matching in shape with the oval of the face, emphasize all the shortcomings of appearance;
- glasses with the lower part of the frame coinciding with the shape of the lower line of the eye look advantageous;
- the color of the frames and lenses should match the general style of clothing;
- the top line of the spectacle frame should only border the eyebrow lines, but in no case should it be closed;
- an accessory sitting on the upper point of the nose bridge visually lengthens the nose.
As you can see, the general rules for selecting points are quite simple.
However, to follow them accurately and without errors, you should visit an ophthalmologist before buying to determine the necessary diopters and the distance between the pupils, and carefully examine the shape of your face.
What to look for?
Owners of a round face can only be envied, because they can always look cute and a little childish, captivating with round cheeks and a smooth chin. Seriousness and restraint can be given to them by accessories that are correctly selected in terms of frames, color of lenses and material.
Frame
It should be noted that the shape of the frame, suitable for chubby beauties, is diverse. The only strict rule here is its sufficient width, slightly beyond the contour of the face.
The cat-eye goggles that convey fashionable greetings from the 50s of the last century correspond to this key characteristic. It is this form that the captors of male hearts Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn loved so much.
You can distinguish the "cat's eye" by its slightly elongated shape and upturned corners tending to the temples. Such a frame is good both in accessories from the sun, and in corrective models for every day.
Other glasses that are well suited to the type of face a chubby woman have a square or rectangular shape. At the edges, the corners should be slightly rounded, especially if we talk about the lower part of the frame. Such models should be large, but by no means massive. Otherwise, the soft round face will easily turn into overweight and full, and will add a couple of years even to young girls.
Asymmetric shapes can also decorate a face with a round oval. For example, the “butterfly” rim, loved by girls with an oval face, makes the face more elongated. You can learn “butterflies” by expanding the rim of the temples and narrowing the nose. Perhaps for everyday wear, accessories of this form may seem too extravagant and bold, however, sunscreen options deserve close attention.
A woman with a round face will do well with clubmaster glasses. Came to us from America, they are clearly distinguished by a dark arcuate line in the upper part, made of various shades of plastic, and a lightened lower contour, framing a convex lens. Such a model, like the previous ones, protrudes somewhat beyond the contour of the face, stretching and modifying it.
It is worth noting that women's glasses are also suitable for lush young ladies. Sunglasses or for vision, they should be selected taking into account previous tips.
Massive large frames that go beyond the contours of the face and are on the face freely, without digging into the cheeks, go for a full round face much more than thin lines of accessories.
Models that chubby girls should refuse:
- classic "Aviators" with rounded edges;
- points "Lennons" with a pronounced round shape;
- narrow crescent glasses;
- models of "dragonfly" with round lenses, narrowed at the temporal zone.
Types of glasses
One of the very first materials for making lenses was glass. It has a much lower refractive index than plastic, and therefore the lenses made from it look thinner and more accurate. In addition, the glass is less prone to scratches, which means that its life is high.
The only disadvantage of the material can be considered fragility, which is very important with the high cost of accessories made from it.
Wanting to get rid of this drawback, the manufacturers proposed plastic. Its advantages:
- affordable cost;
- presentable appearance;
- the ability to take any form in the manufacturing process.
However, it should be noted here that inexpensive plastic accessories are quickly scratched even with a careful attitude, and look very massive with serious visual impairments.
Manufacturers took into account and soberly evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of plastic, creating improved types of it, such as:
- Polycarbonate Models, the main advantage of which is a surprisingly high impact resistance and UV protection.
- High indexcreated for people with minor vision problems. Their lenses are less curved and have a noticeable subtlety. In addition, such models do not change the natural size of the eye.
- Asphericaldesigned for people with severe degrees of myopia and farsightedness. Their main feature can be considered a plane, even with large diopters.
- Chameleon Lenses or models that can change color depending on the lighting can be made of glass or plastic with a special chemical coating and special internal compounds. Glasses with these types of glasses are useful from the expert point of view of ophthalmologists, because they create the desired level of eye protection.
- Polarizeddesigned to remove glare and reduce eye fatigue.
It is worth noting that when choosing the type of glass, it is important to pay attention to special coatings that can be used for convenience in various situations or cosmetic effect.
Types of coating lenses:
- Anti-glare - a special coating that reduces the brightness and scale of halos from light sources. They are relaxing and protective in terms of vision.
- Scratch-resistant coating, able to convey plastic the main advantage of classic glass lenses.
- Protective from ultraviolet light.
- Tinting - allows you to create the necessary shade of the lens. It is in most cases an aesthetic character.
- Mirror coating - closes eyes from others; inspired by fashion trends.
- Water resistant - allows you to feel comfortable in any weather, preventing the adhesion of water droplets to the glass surface.
Materials
Materials for frames are not inferior in a variety of lenses. Today on sale you can see inexpensive plastic options and exotic wood. Nevertheless, the main competitors remain plastic and metal.
It should be noted that not only the appearance of the accessory, but also its weight, strength and the possibility of allergic reactions will depend on the choice of any of the types.
Most often, supporters of metal frames choose models from various alloys. They are quite durable and affordable to a wide range of consumers. It is worth noting that in most alloys there is nickel - a metal that can cause severe allergies. During operation, the protective coating is quickly removed from it, leaving sensitive skin alone with it.
When deciding to purchase alloy products, remember the key rules for a successful purchase:
- the alloy should not be in direct contact with the skin;
- nose pads and earhooks should be made of plasmass, acetate or hypoallergenic metals.
Metals that are not capable of causing allergies are considered titanium, gold, silver and more affordable stainless steel. Steel frames are impressive in weight, which is also important to consider when choosing.
A democratic alternative to metals is a wide range of plastics. Such material can often be seen not only on correction glasses, but also on sunscreens.
Types of plastics used:
- Cellulose acetate - One of the most popular materials that can accurately convey colors and shades, as well as their smooth transitions into each other. Plastic of this type is lightweight and shockproof, however, in places of direct contact with the skin it quickly discolors, reacting with sweat.
- Grilamide - a material that is resistant to ultraviolet and high temperatures, and also characterized by lightness and strength.
- Nylon (Polyamide) - A fairly common material, endowed with special flexibility and durability. Among the shortcomings has a short life, becoming more fragile with a long stay in the sun.
- Propionate - light and durable material, the main advantage of which is considered hypoallergenic.
- Carbon - lightweight material that competes with the strength of many metals.
Colors
Stylists advise owners of a round face to be careful with bright shades of frames and lenses, avoiding shiny and deliberately extravagant details.
Calm non-acid tones set the right accents. So, for girls blondes and brown-haired brown is perfect. At the same time, its monotony is completely optional and can be successfully diluted with soft color transitions. The silver shade of the frame is another right tone that can give precise touches.
It should be noted that too dark lenses cause disharmony with a round face, negatively affecting vision. Bypassing the deaf opaque models, you can confidently in your own irresistibility dwell on not too dark shaded versions of any tones.
Ophthalmologists are advised to abandon tinted models for continuous wear, giving them preference only during the summer heat.
Choosing models for vision
For glasses for vision correction, consumers put forward more stringent requirements than for sunscreens. This approach is only true, because incorrectly selected glasses will not only not solve vision problems, but will also aggravate existing pathologies.
In addition, correction accessories are constantly in use, and therefore their strength should be at their best.
Models for vision should:
- be selected solely taking into account the recommendations of the ophthalmologist;
- have a rim frame design for greater strength and longer life;
- have a multifunctional coating, for example, protecting against water, glare and ultraviolet rays;
- settle down on your face calmly and firmly, without leaving the line of eyebrows.
The best option for vision correction glasses is a model with a frame that runs along the entire perimeter of the lens with an impressive thickness and slightly extends beyond the contours of the face. It is this choice that can make a chubby pretty girl a fatal beauty, proudly wearing a useful accessory for any season.
