A diamond face has dramatic, wide cheekbones with a narrower forehead and a narrow chin — the cheekbones are the standout feature. Glasses can rebalance the middle by adding width and detail up at the brow, which draws attention to the eyes and away from the cheekbones.
The rule
Highlight the eyes and add width at the brow. Not sure this is your shape? Check it free first.
Cat-eye, oval, browline, and rimless frames. Detail or width along the top line draws attention up to the eyes.
Cat-eye, round, and rimless sunglasses.
Round
Softens strong angles and prominent bone structure.
Cat-eye
Lifts and widens the upper face, drawing the eye up and out.
Rimless
Minimal and light — softens angles without adding visual weight.
Avoid: Narrow or boxy frames that emphasise the already-prominent cheekbones.
Diamond faces are widest at the cheekbones with a narrow forehead and chin, so brow-line width rebalances the middle.
Cat-eye, oval, browline and rimless frames. Detail or width along the top line widens the brow relative to the cheekbones and lifts the focus up to the eyes — exactly what a diamond face wants.
Narrow or boxy frames that sit tight against the cheekbones and emphasise their width. Anything that adds bulk at the middle of the face works against the shape.
Cat-eye, round and rimless styles. They add upper width and softness, balancing prominent cheekbones while keeping the look light.
