new specs (potential)

Most likely pair:




however, I loved these:


However, they were £200. Plus lenses. The first pair were in the 'complete glasses for £69' range. Hence the 'most likely'.

The reason you love the bottom pair is because the arch of the top of each lens perfectly mimics the arch of the underside of your eyebrows, meaning they look as if they are part of the architecture of your face.

The top set of specs have a line that fights with your brows, and loses. You don't need to spend £200 on specs, but you do need to find a pair that have that arched line, because it really looks handsome.

cor.

See, I *knew* I should have taken someone who knows stuff about such... stuff.

I'm really into eyebrows. If you get them right, the rest of your face doesn't really matter, because it's the brows that express aggression, open-ness and how relaxed or tense you are. Those first specs make you look quite aggressive because their straight top emphasises the strong "V" shape of your brows, and their thin frame emphasizes the heaviness of the brows; whereas the slightly curved second set soften the "V" and their thickness works better with the thickness of your brows, so they give you a very kind look.

This is what you get for making friends with someone who is really into eyebrows.

Hey, if the person who's going to be kissing you doesn't like 'em, you have to keep looking for ones she does like. ;)

heh, they're for when I'm using the PC or reading. Smooching is done glasses-free.

Hee! Last time I had flowing hair was back in '89 in my university days. Geek astrophysics chic

she's not taken with any of the new lot I tried on today either.

*sigh*

Oh dear ... the hunt continues!

[dakegra.livejournal.com]

indeed. I'm guessing the 'well, chiller likes the CK ones' won't go down particularly well...

I don't like those- generally they are fine, but not for your face. They'd be too severe on you.
