Face-shape guide
The best glasses for a heart face
A heart-shaped face is widest at the forehead and cheekbones and tapers to a narrow, often pointed chin. The best glasses add visual weight to the lower half of your face so your proportions feel balanced.

Your forehead is the widest part of your face, your cheekbones are high, and your chin comes to a narrow point. Sometimes a widow's peak is present.
Best glasses frames for a heart face
✓ Bottom-heavy frames
Weight and colour along the lower rim balance a narrow chin against a wider forehead.
✓ Round frames
Soft curves offset the angles of a heart face and add width lower down.
✓ Light or rimless frames
They avoid adding bulk up top where your face is already widest.
Frames to avoid
✕ Heavy, top-bar / browline frames
They add weight to an already-wide forehead, exaggerating the imbalance.
✕ Decorative, wide temples
They broaden the top of the face further.
💡 Pro tip
Keep the top of the frame clean and thin, and let any colour or detail sit on the lower half — it draws the eye down and widens the chin visually.
FAQs
What glasses suit a heart-shaped face?
Bottom-heavy, round and rimless frames. They add balance to the lower face and avoid widening an already-broad forehead.
Should heart faces avoid browline glasses?
Usually, yes — a heavy top bar adds weight to a wide forehead. If you love browline frames, pick a thin, light version.
