Best Glasses for a Diamond Face
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? Try our free face shape detector first.

Frames to Avoid with a Diamond Face
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.
