Best Sunglasses for Your Face Shape & Skin Tone

About this video

The Gazette team explains how to select sunglasses that complement both your face shape and skin tone. They break down six face shapes—oblong, oval, heart, square, round, and diamond—and recommend frame styles for each, then guide viewers on identifying their skin tone’s undertones to choose flattering frame colors.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends measuring your face’s length and width proportions to accurately determine your face shape, ideally with another person’s help
• The Gazette team argues that each face shape requires different frame styles: oblong faces suit larger, thicker frames; square faces benefit from round frames; oval faces work with any style; and heart-shaped faces pair well with downward-pointing styles like aviators
• The Gazette team advises identifying skin tone undertones by examining your forearm in natural outdoor light, then matching frame colors accordingly—cool undertones work with blues and reds, while warm undertones suit tortoiseshell, brown, and amber colors
