A heart-shaped face (like Kimberley Walsh, seen here in an advert for Specsavers) can suit both round and angular styles, as they contain both round and angular features - although people with the latter should avoid glasses that are wider at the top than the bottom, however, as this could make your face appear 'top heavy'.14 of 23
