Does anybody need a dictionary of quotes to tell them that eyes are the window of the soul? When you first meet someone, you generally look into their eyes and the so-called first impression is made in that rare moment of two hearts speaking for the first time, the unspoken universal language of vision. So why shouldn’t you beautify your eyes when they are the amulets of your mind?
Caucasian females often tend to highlight their eyes using dark eye liners and kohl to make their otherwise, flaxen eyebrows and light colored eyes stand out in their milk white facial complexion. Asians credit themselves with the art of inventing the rare art of decorating one’s eyes with different pigments, designs and later with the use of colored glasses.
Regardless of skin tone, switching from normal vision to an alternative perspective through colored glasses was probably born out of the insatiable creative appetite of people to appreciate the world around them in more than one way. These innovations all built up to the concept of fashion or designer eye wear, and now, we have brands like Gucci, Armani, Dior, and Calvin Klein. Once they had established their reputations as clothes and shoes designs around the world, they preferred to venture into the apparel markets to give the world a better dimension of presenting itself.
The choice of your brand stems out from various factors, most noticeably a desire to stand out of the crowd. But there are some things you should bear in mind before assuring a certain fashion house of your loyalty towards their brands. These include some basic facial considerations, budget constraints, doctor prescriptions, workplace demands so that you don’t commit a faux pas by investing in a particular spectacle or eyewear.
If you have a round face, go for square or rectangular frames because by the law of contrasts, it will make you look smart and elegant. Slightly overweight find every other means to hide their excess puppy fat, investing in the proper frame design can make a considerable difference to their looks. Rim less glasses have been in the eyewear market for quite sometime and it does matter whether the rim is absent on the upper or lower side of your glasses. Each design has its specific style statement attached to it. But the thumb rule is, what the eye does not admire, the heart does not desire. So take your bet friend or lover or parents along, or use a mirror to try out various frames before zooming in on any particular one.
Different types of lenses have flooded the eyewear market; among them the fiber lenses’ ones are the costlier ones since they are unbreakable. But keep in mind that the lower end fiber glass lenses are prone to scratches whereas the glass ones are heavier and brittle. Photo chromatic lenses are highly popular because they change their shades depending on the lighting conditions of the environment you are in.
Every face is unique and deserves individual fine tuning of glasses or maybe radically new eye wear designs to highlight their special features.
