When it comes to choosing the perfect pair of sunglasses, knowing your face shape can make all the difference. Not only does it help you find a comfortable fit, but it ensures your frames enhance your natural features instead of working against them. For those with heart-shaped faces, the right sunglasses can bring beautiful balance, soften strong features, and highlight your best angles.
At ROYALTAIL, we believe eyewear should empower your expression. That’s why our design philosophy includes crafting collections that complement real face shapes, including the bold and beautiful heart shape. In this guide, we’ll explore how to recognize a heart-shaped face, which sunglasses styles work best for it, and which ROYALTAIL frames are your best bet to flatter and elevate your look.
What Is a Heart-Shaped Face?
A heart-shaped face is often considered one of the most photogenic and unique face shapes. It typically features:
-
A wide forehead or broad cheekbones
-
High, defined cheekbones
-
A narrow jawline
-
A pointed chin
The general goal when selecting sunglasses for this shape is to balance the proportions — softening the forehead, widening the jawline visually, and drawing attention toward the eyes.
Best Sunglasses Styles for Heart-Shaped Faces
Certain sunglasses styles naturally complement the heart-shaped face by providing harmony, softness, and subtle angles that bring out your best features. Here are the top five flattering shapes to consider:
🟢 1. Aviator Sunglasses – Timeless Elegance
Aviators are a go-to style for heart-shaped faces. Their classic teardrop design adds width to the lower part of the face, balancing the narrow chin and emphasizing the eyes.
Why they work:
-
The wider bottom helps balance a broader forehead
-
Slim frames won’t overpower your features
-
Versatile for both casual and dressy occasions
ROYALTAIL Pick: The SKYGLIDE Series
Sleek aviators with adjustable nose pads and gradient lenses in gold, rose gold, and gunmetal frames. Designed for confident minimalism.
🔷 2. Round Sunglasses – Soft & Sophisticated
Round sunglasses bring gentle curves to the face, offering a flattering counter to sharp chins and defined cheekbones.
Why they work:
-
Soften angular features
-
Create balance by adding width across the cheek and jaw areas
-
Offer vintage appeal for fashion-forward looks
ROYALTAIL Pick: The MODERN CIRCLE Collection
Round acetate frames with tinted lenses in earthy and pastel tones. Ideal for brunch, weekend strolls, or music festivals.
🟠 3. Cat-Eye Sunglasses – Lift & Flatter
The upward curve of cat-eye sunglasses is perfect for highlighting high cheekbones and balancing wider foreheads with a flirty, feminine touch.
Why they work:
-
Draws attention upward
-
Accentuates the eyes and brow line
-
Creates visual harmony for smaller jawlines
ROYALTAIL Pick: The FLARE FEMME Line
Cat-eye frames with metallic accents and soft color palettes like blush, ivory, and tortoiseshell. Equal parts retro and radiant.
🔴 4. Oval Sunglasses – Harmonious Curves
Oval sunglasses are universally flattering, but they’re particularly good for heart-shaped faces because they mimic the face’s natural softness.
Why they work:
-
Add smooth lines to balance strong cheekbones
-
Downplay forehead width
-
Offer a classic, subtle aesthetic
ROYALTAIL Pick: The TRUE BALANCE Collection
Oval wireframe sunglasses with anti-glare coating, ideal for understated elegance and all-day comfort.
🟣 5. Butterfly Sunglasses – Drama with Proportion
Butterfly sunglasses flare out slightly at the top and widen at the base — a perfect shape to contrast a narrow chin and wide forehead.
Why they work:
-
Create fullness around the jaw area
-
Draw attention toward the eyes
-
Add statement style with proportion
ROYALTAIL Pick: The GLAMFLIGHT Oversize Series
Oversized butterfly lenses with gradient tinting and sculpted arms. Perfect for vacation glam or statement streetwear.
Sunglass Styles to Avoid for Heart-Shaped Faces
While most styles can work with styling tweaks, there are a few you may want to approach with caution:
-
Top-heavy frames: Can exaggerate forehead width
-
Very small lenses: May make the chin appear sharper
-
Sharp rectangular frames: Might over-emphasize angles
ROYALTAIL Tip: If you love a style that's not typically ideal for heart-shaped faces, balance it with hairstyle choices — loose waves or side parts can help soften your silhouette.
Lens & Color Suggestions for Heart-Shaped Faces
Your face shape isn’t the only factor — lens color and frame tone play a big role too. Here are a few color guidelines that pair well with heart-shaped features:
-
Gradient lenses: Help visually reduce forehead width
-
Rose, gold, or champagne tones: Soften and flatter warm skin tones
-
Cool tints like grey, blue, or green: Add edge for urban chic looks
-
Transparent or pastel frames: Help lighten up the look for summer or minimal outfits
