Hmm. I think I have a wider face than oval..right photo distorts my face. I know, because my sisters have lovelier shaped faces.
Prescription glasses aren't cheap...and that ticks me off. I have a employee benefit that discounts by $400.00....for a pr. @ $700.00. Anyway, I realize the following for myself in preferences:
*Only half frame rimmed glasses. When having black brows and nature of my features, I need glasses that "lighten" my features in my face. If you notice, I don't wear ANY eyeliner nor mascara. I haven't for the past 35 yrs. I tried mascara once and my eyes felt so heavy/tired. I don't need to look more academic or more geeky.....I think my personality comes across as more serious and I'm less a "girlie" chick in style....so having "lighter" or funkier glasses is probably better me. That's why I originally bought the right hand reading glasses style. Oh well, I still wear them. I thought even buying deep red/purple frame or even deep indigo blue. Who knows, as one grows older, one gets crazier?
*I like a large lens surface to look through. Don't like small surface lenses..
*I also like large lens surface and lighter style frames to enhance naturally dark large eyes. Thank you mother from whom I inherited this set of eyes.
Wearing glasses still hasn't been a 100% habit for me. EVen though I've had glasses for past 3+ years. I frequently forget them at home for work... I didn't need to wear glasses until I was 51 yrs.
