Default Suggestions for glasses?

I need new glasses and I want to find a pair that actually flatter my face. I've never owned a pair of glasses that I have enjoyed wearing!

Help?!!

My face is as round as can be - I have really wide cheekbones, chubby cheeks and a small, weak rounded jaw. Thanks!

You should provide a picture so we can better look at your facial features to determine the best ones for you.

Do you have someone who can go shopping with you? I noticed that I would buy dark framed glasses because I am so blind, I can't see myself when I try on glasses. I would get the ones I could see. Don't some stores have something online where you can upload a picture of yourself and " try" glasses on that to see what you look like? I googled try on glasses online and there are many sites that let you do this.

To me the nose is everything. You have to get glasses that suit your nose. Definitely a companion is a great thing!

ALso, it depends on the lenses...i have reading glasses and the lenses are quite thick so I need a thick frame or they look weird.

I would go on to Coastal.com. You can upload a photo of yourself and get an idea of what frames look good. I have three pairs from them, they have excellent service, great selection and the first pair you buy is free. No strings attached! No I'm not a salesperson for them...hahaha..I just really like them a lot!

If your face is round, I believe square frames are best. My Mom's face is round but she insists on wearing round glasses and they really don't help...
