It looks chic and flattering on you, and to me, really brings out your features. The Helly Hansen (6) is more of a statement and could certainly work well, too. Like Danskogirl, I wondered about the way it seems to rest on your cheeks at the bottom though; perhaps this would be fixed with the nosepad adjustment, but I would be wary of how it would feel and look with a heavier lens in place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1423190 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 16:47:11 +0000 danskogirl 1423190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #11 (the prodesign) better. It seems to fit the overall shape and proportions of your face better. Also, it may be just these photos but it looks like the bottom of #6 (the Helly Hansen) touches your cheek and it looks like if you smile, the apples of your cheeks might squish into the top of the frame. And, if you have thick lenses, you might ask the glasses technician which one would better suit them; I think the #6, with its thinner overall frame from the side view, might hide less of the lens thickness when viewed from the side, if that's something you're concerned about. But, of course, you need to pick the one that you're most comfortable with and goes best with your personality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1423180 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 16:24:02 +0000 harmonica 1423180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many thanks, <b>Astrid </b>and <b>Angie</b>!!

Can't go wrong either way. #6 is more fun and happy. #11 is more strict and fashionable. Both very flattering.&nbsp;xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1423143 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 15:03:35 +0000 Astrid 1423143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the prodesign best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1423135 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 14:41:40 +0000 harmonica 1423135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>lyn67!</b> Your description on the different specs is of much help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1423134 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 14:39:06 +0000 lyn67 1423134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much easier to vote on, now:-). Pro design is effortless chic and stylish&nbsp;to my eyes-fits your persona(not onlythe &nbsp;face)&nbsp;like a glove. Helly Hansen great but a bit asking for attention, but Angie will tell the truth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1423127 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 14:28:22 +0000 harmonica 1423127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>unfrumped </b>and <b>tulle</b>!

All the others, IMO, are way too large and round and so I'm not sure you got to the right "group" of frames from which to choose. I would try on a group of smaller frames and see how square, how round. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1421591 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 18:29:20 +0000 harmonica 1421591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crossposting. </p> <p>Thank you, <b>Donna</b>, <b>rachylou </b>and <b>Suz</b>! </p> <p>I like how you reason, Suz. It's good to have a couple of top choices and then go for the smallest one. Prodesign is in the lead, then Helly Hansen. </p> <p>Oh, yes, I didn't bring a friend to get a second opinion, but relied on pics and the helping and supporting YLF spirit. So far, so good. :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1421585 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 18:25:24 +0000 harmonica 1421585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you!!</p> <p>I'm so relieved that you take the time to consider all these specs! I feel it is really, really stressful to make a choice. Also because of the cost. The glasses are insanely expensive due to my lens prescription (-8,25).&nbsp; </p> <p>Today I've tried to apply Angie's guidelines, especially the ones below:&nbsp; <a href="http://corporette.com/2011/08/30/how-to-select-stylish-eyewear/" rel="nofollow">http://corporette.com/2011/08/.....h-eyewear/</a> <ul> <li>The frames must lift cheek and eye area</li> <li>Eyes should be centered within the frames</li> <li>Follow the line of the eye brows</li> <li>Match with facial proportions</li> <li>Think of contract /&nbsp;colour / 3D</li> <li>Try on many styles</li> </ul> <b>Shannon </b>- you explain your choices very well and that is so helpful! Thanks!</p> <p><b>elpgal </b>and <b>deb</b> - Prodesign is on top with Helly Hansen. Thanks for sharing your vote :-)</p> <p><b>Diana - </b>you're right. Asian facial features don't fit many of the frames around here. Too many are designed for Scandinavian faces. Well, maybe not surprising when living in Scandinavia I wonder how the specs departments look like in Asia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1421581 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 18:21:19 +0000 Suz 1421581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the prodesign and the Helly Hansen green. Both would be great choices. I might be tempted to go with whichever is smaller if you prescription is high.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know all about too heavy specs. Sigh.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1421578 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 18:19:36 +0000 rachylou 1421578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Inface, albeit the Helly Hansen's also really made me stop and look a long time. My faves may still be the rounder ones from the first set. I like pretty on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1421570 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 18:05:05 +0000 MTBGirl 1421570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #11 on you best and then #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1421556 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 17:48:23 +0000 deb 1421556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the previous #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1421524 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 17:01:25 +0000 Diana 1421524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Helly Hansen and the Prodesign the best.&nbsp; I did not see the previous posts, but just from these I will say that I like you best in glasses with a strong, lifted top line and a wider profile.&nbsp; Funny enough, that's what I like for myself as well.&nbsp; I think we both have that typical Asian bone structure that is very shallow around the nose and eyes with lowish cheekbones, so specs can easily look droopy if they are too prominent or rounded on the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1421522 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 16:54:08 +0000 elpgal 1421522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Prodesign (previous winner)&nbsp; the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1421512 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 16:39:22 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1421512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are some lovely glasses here Harmonica - I have two favorites (that probably doesn't help you...).</p> <p>#6 the green Helly Hansen - LOVE the color on you and the strong top line of the frames. They follow your brown line nicely and your eyes are centered. They might be slightly wide in the outside corner but I personally like that look.</p> <p>#4 - Lindberg in horn - I think the shape is beautiful on you and they fit your face perfectly. If you are looking for glasses that aren't gold in color, these are an excellent choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1421505 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 16:29:07 +0000 harmonica 1421505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kellygirl, thanks for looking! The Thomsons are very similar, but not the same. The three pics of #1 Thomson raspberry are all the same. #2 Thomson steel is a different one. </p> <p>One pro of steel and titanium frames is that they are very lightweight which is good because I'm very, very near-sightend, thus the glasses get very thick, especially around the edges. And the larger they get, the thicker they get. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1421476 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 16:01:29 +0000 kellygirl 1421476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am drawn to the Thompsons but I still like the choice from the previous thread. I think the top of the frame of the the Thompson is very flattering and gives lift. Are they exactly the same shape just different colors? For some reason, the steel looks like it fits better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1421429 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:41:34 +0000 harmonica 1421429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Neelie! It's a nightmare to find the right&nbsp; ones. I'm so thankful for this forum. Otherwise I'd probably ended up with the first ones I tried. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1421408 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:17:56 +0000 Neelie 1421408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 Helly Hanson are my faves by far, followed by the last pair, from your previous group. Good luck, it is so hard to pic specs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-specs-last-round#post-1421380 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 13:34:11 +0000 harmonica 1421380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for spamming you all with specs!
