The Best Glasses for Heart-Shaped Faces: Balance, Style & Confidence Start Here

Brampton’s Guide to Choosing the Perfect Frames for Your Heart-Shaped Face

Some faces need a little finesse.
Others? They just need the right frame to shine.

If you’ve got a heart-shaped face, you’re already working with one of the most eye-catching and elegant face shapes out there. It’s wide at the forehead, with soft cheekbones, and it narrows gently to the chin — a shape that turns heads. But not all glasses return the favour.

So let’s fix that.

At EyeXpert Optical in Brampton, we’ve helped thousands of faces find their frame. Here’s how we style heart-shaped features — and how you can turn every “Where’d you get those?” into a proud smile.

First, What Exactly Is a Heart-Shaped Face?

If your face is widest at the forehead, has high cheekbones, and tapers down to a narrow jaw or pointed chin — welcome to the club. You’ve got what stylists and opticians call a heart-shaped face.

Celebs like Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Gosling, and Scarlett Johansson have it too. So if you’ve been struggling to find glasses that look and feel right, it’s not you — it’s the frame.

You just need the right match.

The Rule of Balance: How to Frame a Heart-Shaped Face

Heart-shaped faces shine when there’s visual harmony — especially between the width of the forehead and the narrower lower half of the face. That’s where the right glasses come in.

Here’s what we look for when styling heart-shaped features:

1. Wider Frames That Extend Beyond the Forehead

This gives the illusion of balance by slightly widening the lower half of the face. Think of it as grounding the top-heavy structure of your facial proportions.

🧠 Pro Tip: A frame that’s too narrow can make your forehead look wider and your chin more pointed. No thanks.

2. Lower Detailing is Key

We love frames that pull focus downward — think subtle accents, color blocking, or rim emphasis on the bottom half of the frame. This draws attention to your eyes and cheeks while softening the chin.

✔️ Avoid heavy top-frame detailing or cat-eyes that exaggerate width at the temples.

3. Modified Wayfarers and Oval Shapes Work Wonders

A wayfarer is timeless — but for heart-shaped faces, we tweak it. A gentler slope, a slightly elongated lens, and a smooth brow line create the perfect harmony of bold and flattering.

💡 Oval frames also soften angles and bring out your cheekbones without overpowering your features.

But Let’s Be Honest — It’s Not Just About Face Shape

We get it. You want frames that look good on your face — but also fit your vibe.

Are you bold and creative? Try matte textures or color-pop accents.
More on the classic side? A slim tortoiseshell or warm metal frame is a safe, stylish bet.
Feeling fun and flirty? Transparent acetates and rose-gold finishes are trending for a reason.

Whatever your style, our team will help you match your face shape, skin tone, and personality — so you’re not just buying glasses.
You're investing in confidence.

💬 Bonus: How to Tell If You Have a Heart-Shaped Face

Not sure where you fall? Stand in front of a mirror, pull your hair back, and look closely:

• Is your forehead the widest part of your face?

• Do your cheeks taper into a narrow chin?

• Do you have a soft “point” at the jawline?

You may just be a heart-face beauty. And now you know what to do about it.
