How to Find the Best Sunglasses for You
Oval-Shaped Faces
Just about any style of sunglasses works on an oval-shaped face, especially aviators and wraparounds; says celebrity stylist and ILORI Style Ambassador Jennifer Rade.
Heart-Shaped Faces
Those with a heart-shaped face should opt for more delicate styles, such as wire or oversize plastic frames, that won't draw attention to the forehead. "This design also draws the eye outward and balances well with her face."
Oblong-Shaped Faces
If you have a long, oblong-shaped face, it's best to choose oversize glasses that cover more of the face, breaking up its length. Adding that, "the extra thickness on the sides of the frame helps give the illusion of more facial width."
Round-Shaped Faces
"The angles on these frames are a nice contrast to her rounded jawline and they help to add definition to her face." It's important to look for frames with straight or angular lines that will lengthen and slim the face, and avoid rounded styles that accentuate full cheeks.
Square-Shaped Faces
Those with square-shaped faces should look for rounded frames or circular lenses, both of which will soften the face's angularity. "The classic Ray-Ban aviator is a great choice for an angular face," says Rade. "This style looks best on a person with a strong jawline as that helps to balance the bottom of the frame."

Summer hairstyle
Hot-Weather Hair How-To
Frizz-Free Curls
Embrace your natural curls like Beyonce but avoid frizz by simply adding an anti-frizz serum to your morning hair routine. "I start off by adding a bit of Sebastian Potion 9 Lite Lightweight Wearable-Treatment Styler ($14; beautyencounter.com) to damp hair," says celebrity hairstylist Jeremy Clark, who then gently scrunches the hair while blow drying on low with a diffuser. "Don't comb it out!" he stresses. "Let it be natural and sexy."
Straight Hair
Celebrity hairstylist Ursula Stephen says the key to straight hair in the summer is a ceramic wet-to-dry flat iron. First, "apply a protecting spray, such as Motions Heat Seeker Protecting Spray ($23; amazon.com) to damp hair and then use the iron," she says. The iron helps lock in moisture and fight flyaways. Bonus tip: "After using the iron, apply the spray again on dry hair to help protect against the sun's UV rays."
Bangs:
"Bangs have a tendency to go all frizzy and wild if you're somewhere with a lot of humidity," says celebrity hairstylist Jeremy Clark. "I found the answer is to spray them with an anti-humidity product like Oleo-Relax Voile Fixateur by Kerastase ($34; kerastase-usa.com) and blow dry on low." He also recommends pinning them off to the side if you're in need of extra hold.
Ponytails
Ponytails will run rampant this summer and to keep breakage to a minimum try bungee elastics ($5/4; rickysnyc.com)—known for doing less damage than regular elastics. "You don't have to pull hair through them, which makes your hair less prone to snags, and the hook closures give you the control to make them as tight as you like," says celebrity hairstylist Staci Child.
