Finding the perfect sunglasses shouldn't be a guessing game. The secret? It all starts with knowing your face shape.
But here's what most face shape guides won't tell you: identifying your face shape is just the beginning. The real magic happens when you get a curated collection of styles that actually work for your shape.
The 4 Main Face Shapes
After over 25 years in the eyewear business, we've learned that 95% of our customers fall into one of four main face shapes:
Round Face Shape Characteristics: Face width and length are similar, soft curved jawline, full cheeks What works: Angular frames that add definition.
Oval Face Shape Characteristics: Forehead slightly wider than chin, balanced proportions, gentle curves What works: Almost everything! You're the lucky ones.
Square Face Shape Characteristics: Strong, angular jawline, forehead and jaw similar width What works: Curved frames that soften angles.
Heart Face Shape Characteristics: Wider forehead, narrower chin, prominent cheekbones What works: Frames that balance the forehead and chin.
The Quick & Accurate Method: ChatGPT Analysis
We've discovered that ChatGPT is surprisingly accurate at identifying face shapes – when you ask it the right way.
Step 1: Take the Perfect Photo
• Use natural lighting (near a window works perfectly).
• Face the camera straight on (no angles or tilting).
• Pull your hair back so your entire face shape is visible.
• Keep a neutral expression.
• Take a close-up shot from about arm's length away.
Step 2: Ask ChatGPT the Right Way Copy and paste this exact prompt:
"Please analyze this photo and determine my face shape. Consider the width of my forehead compared to my cheekbones and jawline, plus the overall length versus width of my face. Based on these proportions, is my face shape round, oval, square, or heart-shaped? Please explain your reasoning and describe the key features that led to your conclusion."
Step 3: Get Your Results. ChatGPT will tell you your face shape and explain why.
Step 4: Come Back Here for the Real Magic!
