How to Choose the Best Bio-Acetate Glasses According to Skin Tone?

To choose the best bio-acetate glasses according to skin tone involves first identifying what skin undertone a person has, and finding complementary frame colours. Generally, a person's skin tone may be identified by looking at the veins on the inner wrist. If the veins are blue or purple, this can indicate a cooler skin tone. If the veins are more blue-green, then a person may have neutral undertones. If the veins are more yellow or green-looking, this can indicate a warm undertone. For cooler skin tones, cooler colours such as blues, greys and purples are suitable. For warmer skin undertones, frames in warm and earthy colours, such as oranges, browns, and gold will look good.

How to Choose the Best Bio-Acetate Glasses According to Face Shape?

The ways to choose the best bio-acetate glasses according to face shape involve identifying what face shape you have and what glasses will complement this face shape the best. The most common face shapes are round face shapes, square face shapes, pear face shapes, oval face shapes and heart face shapes.

  • Pear face shapes: Pear face shapes will generally have a narrow forehead and fuller jaw. Rectangular and square bio-acetate glasses are well-suited to pear face shapes, as they add width to the forehead and help balance the face.
  • Oval face shape: Oval face shapes resemble an oblong shape and have smooth curves. Bio-acetate glasses that suit an oval face shape will be those that bring angles and depth to the face, and include rectangular and square-shaped frames.
  • Heart face shape: A heart-shaped face is characterised by a wider forehead and a smaller chin. Bio-acetate glasses that suit a heart-shaped face are round and square, as these shapes help to balance out the characteristically wider forehead.
