I find it hard to believe it’s been years! I’m pretty sure last year doesn’t count anyways </p> <p>I’m on the #9 bandwagon too, followed by #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193759 Sun, 09 May 2021 01:12:27 +0000 Jaime 2193759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am useless with eyeglass pics but Angie is excellent. Nice to see you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193756 Sun, 09 May 2021 01:05:22 +0000 bj1111 2193756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried warby Parker? On their app you can “try on” glasses projected on a live pic of your face. Well done tech. </p> <p>I get contacts from Costco and glasses for. Warby parker or see. More economical </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193672 Sat, 08 May 2021 15:48:45 +0000 Zaeobi 2193672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back </p> <p>I agree with the others re: #1 &amp; #9 since they either follow the shape of your brow &amp; face shape, or don't compete with them. </p> <p>As for the frames looking a little too wide on your face, this may also be due to your selfie camera angle being closer than an arm's length away (which is the closest most people will get to you when seeing you) - I know you probably can't set up a tripod/ timer photoshoot in the middle of the optometrists lol, but it's just something useful to keep in mind whilst shopping </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193663 Sat, 08 May 2021 15:30:55 +0000 Suz 2193663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isis! Great to see you! I see you are sorted -- I agree with everything <b>Angie</b> and <b>Jonesy</b> said. Can't wait to see the new contenders.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193658 Sat, 08 May 2021 14:20:58 +0000 Anonymous 2193658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like #9 best. Next would be #1, but if 2-4 are the same frames, those look like they are wearing you. Study what Angie says. She is the expert. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193617 Sat, 08 May 2021 09:48:01 +0000 Bijou 2193617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad Angie got you sorted, glasses are expensive, so it’s great to get it right. I really like the cats eye shape on you too. Dolce and Gabanna make some good cats eye frames and they are in the price range that you are looking at. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193570 Sat, 08 May 2021 02:34:53 +0000 Jonesy 2193570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's great to see you post!</p> <p>You wear glasses really well! Angie knows specs, so you are sorted :). I love the big, bold green cat eyes (#8), but they would be a big commitment, I suppose. The cat eye shape in both #8 and #9 looks beautiful and very chic on you--it just seems to work with your facial shape perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193469 Fri, 07 May 2021 21:32:41 +0000 notsaf 2193469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Angie said: love the readers best and prefer the first one you tried in the store as well. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193453 Fri, 07 May 2021 20:35:06 +0000 Cardiff girl 2193453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another (late)vote for #9! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193430 Fri, 07 May 2021 18:39:38 +0000 Isis 2193430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback!&nbsp;&nbsp; I really like the cateye ones (#9) too.&nbsp;&nbsp; The frames are a little broken so I can't put the new lenses in them.&nbsp; But this feedback is good; I'll be on the hunt now for frames that are more similar to those.&nbsp;&nbsp; I"ll be back once I find more candidates like these!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193422 Fri, 07 May 2021 18:01:05 +0000 MidwestrnChic 2193422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your readers! They are so good on you.&nbsp; Have you considered having progressive lens put into these frames?&nbsp; I do this kind of thing all the time when I love a pair of frames. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193401 Fri, 07 May 2021 17:14:33 +0000 Angie 2193401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back! Nice to see you again.</p> <p>#9 is by far the BEST, and yes, I know they are readers :)</p> <p>#8 is a great colour and shape, but too big.&nbsp;</p> <p>I prefer #1 to #4, and they are nice!&nbsp;</p> <p>#5 to #7 too deep and square.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193389 Fri, 07 May 2021 16:42:11 +0000 Rosie 2193389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the last pair, they make your eye color pop!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193387 Fri, 07 May 2021 16:25:41 +0000 cat2 2193387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So there are multiple measurements. I think the first frame gets the bridge if your nose right, so go for a similar measurement moving forward. </p> <p>The second measurement reflects how wide the frame is, and the first pair extends beyond your face a bit too much; the second frame extends even further. So I would suggest looking at a slightly narrower pair to see.</p> <p>I would also wait for Angie’s feedback on shape, she has such a great sense of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193382 Fri, 07 May 2021 16:06:50 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2193382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ialso like your readers best of these- the shape timts up at the corners instead of down </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193374 Fri, 07 May 2021 15:38:10 +0000 Carla 2193374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of your readers (#9) the best, but I may be biased since they are similar to what I wear myself. &nbsp;Have you tried frames similar to them? &nbsp;A modified cat’s eye? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeglass-help-and-hello#post-2193342 Fri, 07 May 2021 14:28:04 +0000 Anonymous 2193342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>6 might be the best fit but I really like the look of 9.
