Face shape · The 7 shapes
Oval face shape
A little longer than it is wide, with the forehead slightly wider than the jaw and soft contours.
A balanced face with soft proportions. Almost everything suits you: choose by the effect you want.
- Frames
- Almost all of them: try frames as wide as your face. Rectangular ones add character and cat-eye frames lift the eyes.
- Hair
- You can wear almost any cut; showing your face shows off its balance.
- Near the face
- Earrings of any shape; necklines and scarves as you like.
Frames you can explore
- Rectangular
- Cat-eye
- Aviator
Light and shadow for your face
Shadow: A light shadow under the cheekbones: it simply enhances, there is nothing to correct.
Light: Light in the centre of the forehead, under the eyes, on the bridge of the nose and on the chin.
Always blend: contouring is light and shadow, never lines. Choose a matte shade one or two tones deeper than your skin.
A first, indicative look: a CARO consultation confirms it in person, with real clothes and frames.
