Which frames suit your face?
Three questions to find your face shape and the frames that work with it.
1. Looking in the mirror, your jawline is...
2. Your face is...
3. Your forehead compared to your jaw:
More Than Picking Frames
The majority of frames purchases take place under pressure, where you try on frames in a busy dispensary, where they are already focusing on the next patient. A styling consultation at EyeSmile is a thorough assessment with a qualified optician who already knows your prescription and is focused on finding the right frames that suit you.

Face Shape Guide
Most frames work well with this facial shape, including angular and geometric shaped frames.
Add definition with angular, rectangular, or square frames.
Soften a strong jaw line with round or oval frames.
Balance a wider forehead with bottom-heavy frames.
Add width to your face with deep frames, along with decorative temples.
Your stylist takes this into consideration as a starting point to finding your ideal frames.
Frames You Will Actually Wear
Frames That Suit Your Face
Facial shape science is very well-established and the right frame geometry creates a visual balance. With the wrong frames, no matter how fashionable, they can create an unbalanced look. We apply this science when making frame recommendations.
Premium Independent Brands
EyeSmile has a hand-selected range of independent eyewear brands that you will not find in on the high street or in chains. These frames are known for their outstanding materials, exceptional designs, along with high-quality craftsmanship.
Expert Colour Guidance
Your eyewear stylist identifies the colour palette that works with your skin tone, hair colour, and eye colour, helping you choose the perfect frames to suit your face.
Confidence in Your Choice
There is nothing more worrying that leaving your optical appointment and being uncertain on your frame selection. Our styling consultation eliminates any uncertainty, giving you a dedicated appointment, where you take your time, leaving with confidence, knowing your new frames are right for you.
A Dedicated Hour, Just for You
Pre-Consultation Questionnaire
Before your styling consultation, we will send you a short questionnaire to complete bout your lifestyle, profession, existing frames, along with frames you love or dislike. This helps shape the consultation.
Face & Colour Analysis
At your assessment, your stylist assesses your facial shape, skin tone, colouring, and proportions, taking approximately fifteen minutes. This guides the frame recommendations they provide.
Curated Frame Selection
Based on the analysis, and the answers to the questionnaire, your stylish hand-selects frames from our collection, providing you with a choice of styles, materials, and price points that meet your criteria.
Fitting & Final Choice
During your consultation, you get to try on the hand-selected range of frames, complete with expert guidance on what works and what doesn't. Once you make your final selection, it's confirmed and your order is placed. We then arrange a fitting appointment for your collection day.
