Vote!

I'm watching you. I also need your help. Above: the glasses I have now. I really like the frames, I like the way they look on me. But they don't fit quite right. The nose is the wrong size for my nose. I get headaches and red marks. So I'm getting new glasses. I've narrowed it down to two pairs. I need your votes to help me decide:

A -
Option A

B -
Option B

Don't let the stickers on the lenses sway you.

I vote for A. In general I like rounded frames better, but B looks a little big, and I think your face is angular enough to pull off the squariness of A.

Vote for B. A looks as if it might have the same problem your old glasses have. By the way, it probably helped to get your hair out of your eyes in both A and B.

I vote A. B looks too big for your face.

Roy Huggins votes for B. -------
I'm undecided, and I see how you are too.
The good thing about the glasses you have now and how they look with your face is the roundness. But they have tallness which balances the wideness. Neither A nor B have that tallness, which makes it tricky. B has the nice roundess that your current glasses have, but their lack of tallness makes the width more obvious and makes your eyes look slightly closer together than they would look otherwise. However you'll have decent peripheral vision. The angles in A help to tone down the width vs height problem that A shares with B, and the upper curve matches your eyebrows well. However, in the end they both make that narrow-set of your eyes seem more prominent than it needs to be. -------
Then we look at style. A is very professional and stylish. The angular nature reduces approachability but increases respect, with the light-colored inlay and the way the upper part of the frame follows your eyebrows. B maintains a sort of soft approachability which you have with your current glasses, and the material the frames are made of add to that with the soft and slightly translucent material. I think the color of B also matches your hair and skin coloring in a more natural way, whereas A matches your hair and skin coloring in a complementary way. -------
A is more noticable. It makes you look like a woman who wears glasses. B is more invisible. They add to your appearance but don't stand out. -------
So really, you should decide based on what you're going for. Are your glasses an accessory to your image? Are they kind of a shield/barrier of intelligence, respectability and good taste between you and the rest of the world? Then go A. If your glasses are functional, if they get down to business, if they help you to do your job and do it well, then go for B.

A! B goes too far down below your eyes - you'll look droopy.
