Justine. Très informatif. Les infos m'aideront. Il y a quelques années, une vendeuse m'a fait réaliser un autre éléments important pour moi: __ mes yeux sont proches; pour un confort maximum, la longueur idéale du 'pont' de mes lunettes doit être plus court, soit 18 mm. __ ce jour là, j'ai jeté mes lunettes ayant un pont de 23 mm. Mes lunettes sont plus confortables et elles glissent moins. Je vais ajouter tes infos lors de mon prochains achat. Merci.
Justine, recently I had a job interview with a major retailer of high-end sunglasses. In my interview I mentioned your video and what I learned from watching it. I walked out the interview with an offering for a managerial position: I start next week. I felt like I had to thank you because I'm sure what I mentioned made an impact during my interview. Alors, merci Justine! :)
Wooow thats so COOL and great for you. Its so good you got a job by watching youtube. I Watch many of these videos and i still find this a little confusing. But getting this knowledge right you can really help costumers get the Best shades for them and get true help. Im Sure im Heart shape and i love it Because i love The Classic aviators and fit me well and i also love my rounds. But helping People with ublong faces can be tricky and also with small faces so understanding All and see which glass es work for each person Its a miracle
Sorry this video took so long... but here it is! 😅 Also: we have crossed the 160,000 milestone today 🎉. I am impressed and humbled by the positive feedback & all the comments. THANKS EVERYONE!
Justine Leconte officiel Congratulations! For me, you pack so much information into a concise format, and make it fun, too. Perfect combo. Keep 'em coming:).
You really deserve this good feedback and so much more! Thanks for your videos and for being such and excellent and amiable /does this word exist?/ person!! Xoxo!
Justine Leconte officiel Hi there!! i am a recent sub and love your channel! i could help falling for your long silver earrings you wear in lot of videos😍. Justine would you be able to share from where you purchased it. thank you
Justine Leconte officiel Great tips but in my case I have small oval face so bigger frames just slide right off my face esp plastic frames. For prescription glasses I go for rimless on the bottom and glasses with nose pads. Usually they're only a small handful of frames at the eye Dr that won't fall off my face so I have limited choices 😳. New sub 💘 your channel. Cheers to more subs 🍻
That's what happens when you're that sophisticated yet that kind and easy to smile. It's rare to find people who know that much and still somehow manage not to be cocky. J'aime beaucoup tes videos et j'aimerais aussi te regarder en parlant français. Gros bisous!
Hi Justine, I always enjoy watching your videos, but this one bugged me! I have 5 years of experience as a stylist for glasses and there are some key points missing in my opinion! 1. When you go for an acetate (or plastic) frame it should ALWAYS fit your nose perfectly, otherwise it will slide down anyway. 2. The frames should NEVER touch your cheeks, because this will cause the lenses to fog up when you wear them. 3. Eyebrows should always be visible above the frames (except when you buy the huge designer sunglasses, of course). 4. The size of the front of the frame is defined by the position your eyes have; the eyes should always be in centre like this: [ 0 ], and not like this [0 ], because you will look silly and it will most likely cause a distorted view with your prescription. Only when these key points are correct you can consider the shape of the actual frame.
Lianne Schoot these are logistical points, which are very important and of course precede choosing face-shape compatibility. But Justine's advice is primarily aesthetic, and is assumed to be taken AFTER what you've mentioned has been completed.
e.g. I only need sunglasses and not always I want to buy highpriced ones. still the question what fits me in the sense of look, is important for me. for a while very square like glasses where in fashion and I had a hard time to find fitting ones. a lot of people said to me, they don't think that this can be. still I should be able to find glasses easily and that is all in my head.... this video proves to me, that it is not. of course a specialist can help you more in detail AND I know from my sister who needs to wear glasses all the time (and thick glasses too), that one learns by experience a bit better, what fits the nose and why some fog up more easily - STILL they can go and wear the wrong shape of glasses for years and years till some convinces them to try a different one (or fashion changes in a way that by chance you pick a model that is slightly different and fitting). So, what I wanted to say anyway - this video is about shapes in general. if it someone wanted to cover all other factors in all variations in just one video it might be a very long. (maybe as long as your lessens took, as you had learned it.?)
Because of my round face, most of my life I was afraid to wear 'the cool round sunnies'... until I realized I actually like how I look on them so, I decided to take the chance and I don't regret it! 😎✌️
I have been binge watching your videos in the past day, and I want to thank you for the informative and educational videos you put out! As someone who's working to be more mindful of my life choices (fashion-wise, in this case), I appreciate what you do. Merci beaucoup! 💞
According to this, my ideal glasses shape for my face (diamond) are half-frames... which is interesting because I've been choosing half-frame glasses for at least the past 10 years! I've also done color analyses for my season and such (my best friend was a theatre costuming major and they did this in their fashion class) and I couldn't help but notice that my palette based on my season analysis was full of colors that I naturally gravitate towards when I buy clothes. I think it's super interesting how we can identify these thing subconsciously!
After watching so many videos I really feel like making an appointment with you to figure out EMERYING... Thank you dear Justine! And I love how you analyze without criticizing, it is sounding kind and intelligent.
Thank you Justine i'm from Spain and i'm learning english, fashion,... with you!!! you're amazing, elegant, sweet and beautiful and my inspiration!!! bless you!
Thanks Justine for this video. Those commenting don't seem to understand that a ten minute video can only cover basic principles and not every scenario possible.
Justine, I learn a lot from your videos...but the thing I love best is your positive, humble and friendly attitude. Thanks for putting yourself out there!
I am a 30 year old female with no bloody clue. Spent my life in jeans, t-shirt and pony tail/plait. Come across your videos and I just want to say a big thank you!! You have fantastic infomation which is easy to understand and not intimidating to silly females like me! I hope to improve myself. Subscribed. 🖒
As soon as the oval face popped up - there was my son! He's worn glasses of his choice since he was 5 yrs and the shape of his face and glasses now is perfectly represented by your diagram - amazing!
When I saw this is your new video, I was so excited to watch it. I have been short-sighted for over 13 years and no one has ever told me as much information on glasses as you have just done. I started using contact lenses coz Im not confident wearing glasses. Those I bought long ago dont fit me well (even people say) and I just gave up looking for those right ones. And opticians just advise: choose the ones you like. I am so glad for such info, really thanks :-)
While I was watching film about face shapes I had that idea that you should make video about shape of glasses. Then I discovered this film. It's great!
i got new glasses a couple weeks ago, and I watched this video because I was curious if I chose the right glasses. my face is somewhere between oval and square, and I have round glasses. I thought they looked good, and this has officially confirmed that they fit my face shape :)
I am glad that the optician that chose the glasses for me understands these basic. I looked better in my glasses now. In other words, thank you for your detailed explanation!
I used to think I had an oval face, but I am becoming more convinced that it is diamond-shaped (or, some weird hybrid). I tried on cat-eye sunglasses for the first time the other day and wondered where they had been my whole life! I then, rewatched your video on hair for face shapes and I am becoming more sure of it. Thank you so much for your help!
Weird hybrid hehe I seem to resonate with that term. Il will be shopping for eyeglass and will try to look for cat eye glasses and see if it works on my face shape :)
This video could not have come at a better time. I am going for my eye check up this week and was really worried about what kind of glasses should I choose. Thank you, Justine. I am now sorted.
I always skipped this video thinking I didn't need glasses. Last week though, my husband convinced me to finally get an eye test because I can't read anything over 3m far from my face... And in fact I do need glasses. I already bought them, but I'm actually pretty proud of myself because I considered everything you mentioned without having watched the video! You've taught me well, Justine. Merci :)
I know that different person suit different glasses, so the more glasses to choose the faster you will find what glasses you want. I have bought my favourite in Abbeglasses, there are so many glasses for me to choose. Ohhh, That’s great!
This channel is so useful. I have very little knowledge about fashion, and no one really teaches this kind of stuff outside of the internet. Thank you for all the help. I can look more like a mature adult each day thanks to it.
I have worn glasses since I was two years old, and I have actually developed a 'dip' in the bone where the bridge sits. Very useful to prevent my glasses from sliding down my nose, but it makes it look like I broke it... there's a bit of a bulge there. Love your channel, by the way! I've recently started to lose weight - dropping from an european 52 to a 48/46, and still going! - and now that i'm in the 'edge' of what's considered plus size and normal range here in my country I feel that I can finally start looking for actual good clothes that fit my style instead of hoarding stuff that I don't like just because it fits me. Your videos are really helping me in this regard! Very informative and well thought out. But I'd like to ask if you have any advice on altering/fitting clothes - I have some pieces that I love and would like to adjust when my weight loss is over, but i'm not sure if it's a good idea or how to approach that or how much fitting would be too much - like, if there's going to be a point where it's just not worth it because it's not going to look good. Thank you so much!! Greetings from Brazil!
Recently I bought a oversized sunglass and I was feeling little uncomfortable to wear that as I thought it will cover my face. But I have oval shape face and your suggestion make me feel so confident ❤️. Thank you ❤️
As a glasses aficionado with poor eyesight (have many), I loved this. One point, I’d like to make and that is to ask if sometimes esp for things like this, you show actual humans with suitable and less so glasses. I find that aspect (visual and relatable) very useful. HUGE thanks, Kostana x
that was the original plan but then no glasses brand wanted to lend me glasses (of my choice) for the video. It was taking forever so I decided to go ahead without - but I'd like to re-do the video with real glasses, one day.
Hi Justine, could you do a video on color/pattern combinations when it comes to clothing? I know you've done a video on which color looks good on who, but could you do one on color (and/or pattern) when it comes to wardrobe and outfit planning? The "do's and don'ts" or your personal recommendations? Thank you!
Pretty sure she will just tell you that there are no absolute don'ts. In my opinion, it has more to do with proportion of color and what you want to express. But I would be interested in hearing Justines preferences :)
I agree. I work within the fashion industry and am constantly expected to be creative when creating outfits for clients. But so often I hear things like "no, no, navy and black shouldn't match" or "no way red and pink can be a thing" ... of course it's a personal preference thing, but I believe seeing how other people do it can inspire as well :) And who better than Justine :D
Justine are you telepathic? I was just having this very conversation with a girlfriend last week as I was looking for new sunnies. She was surprised to hear all the thought I was putting in to buying them...my face shape, color etc. Thank you for validating my theories!
Hi Justine, I just LOVE all your videos - even when its something that doesnt really apply to me, I watch them anyway just because you are so delightful, and such a positive and lovely addition to my day. I love all the amazing tips and you always make me smile. Thank you so much for your channel and Im so glad I came across it. Hugs
Great video! :) I'd like to mention, by choosing the color of the glasses not only the undertone and the wardrobe will have an influence but also the color of your eyes. E.g. wearing usually black colors and having dark hair too, you need a pop of color in accessories. Nothing better for this reasons your glasses. If you have e.g. green eyes and blue undertone, a cherry red or bluish/purpleish frame will serve great. It goes well with your skin and enhance the color of your eyes too. For blue eyes and blue undertone purple and green works very well. For brown eyes, which is a jolly joker, works everything well as it will not have as much influence for the other colors to consider. I mean you just need to consider the skin- and hairtone and the style and color of your wardrobe.
Justine Leconte officiel Hello Justine! :) Yes! :D In Hungary we call them French cards and probably used the wrong therm... What are they called in English? Poker cards probably? I'm confused... Lol.... :D
we (austria, so not far from hungary) also call them french, as opposed to german. I believe the "border" runs right through Switzerland. if you look "french playing cards" up on wikipedia it shows you a comparison to other types.
You explain things so well. I can take your suggestions for style & beauty to my wardrobe and instantly look much more put together. Fabulous! Thank you!
I have never felt like I fit in any of the face shape categories, but something about the phrase “long oval” was an “oh, duh!” moment for me. Not sure how I’ve never seen that phrase before! Your videos are always so wonderfully informative.
I have to get new glasses soon. And have been dreading the decision making for a new model. I think these guidelines will help me a lot to know what to look for, thank you!
This video was so helpful! I thought I had an oval face, but now I think I may be a diamond shape. Frames with an uplifted look to the outside have always looked better on me :) Thank you Justine.
Thanks Justine. With my oval face you have given me the autorisation I needed to buy those oversized G & B rounded sunglasses that I've been drooling over ! Excellent vidéo comme toujours. Bises x
This is my new favorite channel!! I'm so thankful you exist!! Your videos are informative, helpful, not over exaggerated, and your sense of style is impeccable! I've only watched about 3 videos so far, but I am really interested in buying your jewelry(if I can afford it)!! Is there alink somewhere for that? I've always wanted to make sterling/gold/metal jewelry. Can you please make a video that shows your process of learning this skill? Thanks for doing what you do!!
Hey Justine, this video is extremely helpful, I have been wearing the wrong set of glasses for my face shape all this while, my sister would keep telling me that the frames don't suit me, but I never understood why, now I know better. Thank you so much. Also, I am an aspiring Personal Stylist, it would be amazing if you could do a video on style categories.
Thanks Justine. I have a square face and always like Harry Potter type.. I think I have found the true type by trying.. But good to see that is a right choice.
It's incredible how much thought you put into your videos and as here also how analytical you are! Thank you, it makes me rethink my choices of glasses and will spend the rest of the evening checking on all of them., ;)
Hi Justine..... U r amazing in explaining.... I just sat in front of my mirror n got it that my face is diamond shape..... thanks ..... waiting for ur next video 😘
Justine, You are very well researched on this subject! I just want to add, for glasses wearers that are concerned about the size (thickness) of their lenses; the smaller the area of your glasses the thinner the lenses will look. This is for nearsighted people only.
This was by far the best glasses shape video I've watched, and I've watched a lot of them. The extra tips were so so helpful and I know exactly what to look for when I start browsing for new glasses. Thank you!!!
I really enjoy your video!!!really appreciate your efforts. An additional thing for selecting lenses is to consider if it is anti-glare. if it is not, people will just see themselves when they look at you.
I would love to see more on skin care... Especially how to tackle dry skin, freckles, wrinkles and open pores! Could you please give your expert advice?! :)
Wow, I didn't even know glasses could be made of something else but glass. I'm short-sighted as well, quite so, in fact and the effect really bothers me, not to mention how heavy my glasses are. Awesome video, thanks for the advice!
Thanks for adding the triangle/pear, as that is my face shape. I have had to look hard to find my face shape, and information about what flatters it. I love your channel!
Another very helpful video Justine! Certainly narrows down the choice we face when purchasing eye ware as we are often confronted by many walls full of different frames!
This is so helpful. I'll be getting a new prescription soon, and I want to go from a small rimless frame to a larger frame for progressive bifocals. I have a round face, and I think my prescription sunglass frame has been starting to seem not quite right to me. Now I know why after watching your video. Thanks a lot. I'm going to share with my friends.
see the difference between the cat eye and the square on the triangle face really drove home for me what I was already considering. I thought that the straight lines are the square glasses which are very much like the ones I currently have, made the face look more bottom-heavy, like a squash, which is exactly the insecurity I'm trying to minimize with my new frames. cat eye for me then! I liked that you took the time to mention lense colour, most people don't think of it (:
I was one of your subscribers who requested for this video.. So happy to get it finally... This video is well described & easy to understand... You r amazing ..Thank you 😊
hi I am from India and a big admirer of all your videos as also the different types of concepts that you touch in the videos. Thanks a lot. Plz also do a video on selecting lips sticks for Indian skin type and eye makeup as I rarely find any good suggestions for that skin tone as very few videos pertain to that.
Thank you, Justine. When large colored frames were very fashionable, I looked good in cranberry (blue-toned) red and in a clear medium green - obviously b/c I have blue undertones. I appreciated the comment about the eye-shrinking effect of glasses for myopia: my near-sightedness is so bad that l gave up large frames in favor of smaller horizontal ovals which sit closer to my eyes. Now I know why this worked - severe myopia & a square face. Since my prescription is a scorchingly expensive $600+, and I cannot wear contact lenses, if I made a mistake - I was just stuck with it.
Justine, from the amount and quality of your videos, plus your designer work you look like a very productive woman. Can you make a video on the productivity issues, how do you keep your productivity level so high? What is your secret? :)
I am so glad you did this video Justine! As always, it is delightful and very educational, especially more so since I am very near-sighted and glasses are such an important part of my overall look. I wished this could have came out earlier because I spent over 2 hours at the store looking for the right pair about a year ago. I had no idea what to look for and had to keep trying different ones. I think now that I have a general guidelines; next time hopefully it will be less than an hour :)
I really like the disclaimer at the end, I get the whole balancing shapes theory, but sometimes you really like some shapes of your body and face and feel happy to accentuate it. Great vídeo as always Justine ❤
Hi Justine, love your videos. I learned so much and enjoy the very useful information you share. I also love your way of presentation. I see that you don't use a lot of eye makeup. Have you done any makeup video anyway?
Another wonderful video - thank you! Can you create a video on "when to say good bye to certain articles" (clothes, shoes, scarfs, jewelry, etc) ? I think I need help managing my wardrobe.... THANK YOU!
Thank you , AGAIN! I wear glasses and often struggle to find frames that suit me. This was so helpful. I will watch it again and take copious notes. Justine, you are a gem! 👏👏
Hi Justine. I've been binge watching your videos recently (new subscriber. Lol). Can I just say that I LOVE the way ou start and end your videos! And your accent and just your whole way of speaking and explaining!! This video is encouraging me to go try out different styles of sunglasses. I've always had a problem finding one that looks good on my face (oval face ☺...but long forehead 😧) but, honestly, never tried certain shapes because I thought they'd look bad even before trying them on. Since you're saying basically any shape can go with an oval face, I'll try them all out and see which works best. Thanks for your great videos! They're almost always so helpful and fun to watch.
Oh wow, I actually found the right glasses for my round face 😱 actually I feel very comfortable with my glasses on and I feel like it makes a lot for my overall appearance. And a lot of people didn’t even realize that I suddenly wore glasses, and for me that’s a sign that I found the perfect pair
You are a real expert in explaining. This has helped me so much, thanks a lot! I think I will go sun glasses shopping on my holidays in Paris next week 🤓💕 Love your channel, please keep going like that!
Hi Justine, years ago one designer mentioned in his video that when choosing your glasses you should take into consideration the shape of your eyebrows. The upper rim of the glasses should match the line of the eyebrows. It works with me perfectly and have always helped me to pick the right frames. In my case that would be "cat eyes" (long live this trend, please!). Thank you for your video. Lots of love from Australia.
Hi Justine! I'm a new subscriber and I love your videos. Just one small idea/suggestion, would it be possible if you make a video about wedding dresses/style? I understand it might be a very complicated topic. There are quite some videos out there but I still got confusion (hard to make choices) after seeing lots of them. Thanks!
Thank you so much, Justine! This is exactly what I was looking for and more! It is wonderful how complete and detailed your videos are. You always take care of providing high quality content in a clear way.
New video: the right eyebrows for your face shape 😉: ua-cam.com/video/Bg4KHsOGK0U/v-deo.html
Hello justine can you make a video about hairstyles for pear shape faces, love your content thank you!
Justine. Très informatif. Les infos m'aideront. Il y a quelques années, une vendeuse m'a fait réaliser un autre éléments important pour moi:
__ mes yeux sont proches; pour un confort maximum, la longueur idéale du 'pont' de mes lunettes doit être plus court, soit 18 mm.
__ ce jour là, j'ai jeté mes lunettes ayant un pont de 23 mm.
Mes lunettes sont plus confortables et elles glissent moins.
Je vais ajouter tes infos lors de mon prochains achat. Merci.
Justine, recently I had a job interview with a major retailer of high-end sunglasses. In my interview I mentioned your video and what I learned from watching it. I walked out the interview with an offering for a managerial position: I start next week. I felt like I had to thank you because I'm sure what I mentioned made an impact during my interview. Alors, merci Justine! :)
Wooow thats so COOL and great for you. Its so good you got a job by watching youtube.
I Watch many of these videos and i still find this a little confusing.

That is so old, that the frames have to be under your eyebrows! Look at Jackie O. And other hip dressers.
Lianne Schoot - between you and Justine, we have some excellent advice to help us. Thank you both!
Do you have a tip to fix glasses that slide down all the time? :)
e.g. I only need sunglasses and not always I want to buy highpriced ones. still the question what fits me in the sense of look, is important for me. for a while very square like glasses where in fashion and I had a hard time to find fitting ones. a lot of people said to me, they don't think that this can be. still I should be able to find glasses easily and that is all in my head.... this video proves to me, that it is not. of course a specialist can help you more in detail AND I know from my sister who needs to wear glasses all the time (and thick glasses too), that one learns by experience a bit better, what fits the nose and why some fog up more easily - STILL they can go and wear the wrong shape of glasses for years and years till some convinces them to try a different one (or fashion changes in a way that by chance you pick a model that is slightly different and fitting).

Perfect timing.. went 'window' shopping for sunglasses this morning. Came home a bit confused - this is so well timed. Thanks!
Justine, you are so charming. Giving us good advice and then inviting us to "be your guest" to break all of the rules if we want to. Merci
+sandra james sure, in the end it's a personal decision 😉
I'm coming from the first face shape video and you added the triangle, thank you!
I love the "cat eye" glasses! And sunglasses in brown, diamond face and soft autumn. Thank you for your advice!

While I was watching film about face shapes I had that idea that you should make video about shape of glasses. Then I discovered this film. It's great!
I was checking out some sun glasses days ago. I have a diamond face and turned out my favorite type was the one you indicated. Loved the video!
Thank you for your calm, measured and informative approach to fashion which is very hyped up
that's exactly my objective with this channel so thank you!!
i got new glasses a couple weeks ago, and I watched this video because I was curious if I chose the right glasses. my face is somewhere between oval and square, and I have round glasses. I thought they looked good, and this has officially confirmed that they fit my face shape :)

Same exactly same I too thought I am an oval but trims out that I am a diamond 🔹
This video could not have come at a better time. I am going for my eye check up this week and was really worried about what kind of glasses should I choose. Thank you, Justine. I am now sorted.
+Ankita Biswas good 😉😊
I always skipped this video thinking I didn't need glasses. Last week though, my husband convinced me to finally get an eye test because I can't read anything over 3m far from my face... And in fact I do need glasses. I already bought them, but I'm actually pretty proud of myself because I considered everything you mentioned without having watched the video! You've taught me well, Justine. Merci :)
I love your "straight to the point" personality
I know that different person suit different glasses, so the more glasses to choose the faster you will find what glasses you want. I have bought my favourite in Abbeglasses, there are so many glasses for me to choose. Ohhh, That’s great!
This channel is so useful. I have very little knowledge about fashion, and no one really teaches this kind of stuff outside of the internet. Thank you for all the help. I can look more like a mature adult each day thanks to it.
Glad if it helps 😘
I'm really glad that I stumbled upon your channel. THANK YOU for the tips! more power to you.
Hi Justine! Can you do an updated version of this video? Advance thank you!! :)))))
The best eye wear video on UA-cam by far! Thanks Justine xo
+Khadeejah Raja thank you!
I'm so glad that I found this video!! I need new glasses and now I'll be able to pick a flattering shape for my face. Thank you for sharing!
I have worn glasses since I was two years old, and I have actually developed a 'dip' in the bone where the bridge sits. Very useful to prevent my glasses from sliding down my nose, but it makes it look like I broke it... there's a bit of a bulge there.
Love your channel, by the way! I've recently started to lose weight - dropping from an european 52 to a 48/46, and still going! - and now that i'm in the 'edge' of what's considered plus size and normal range here in my country I feel that I can finally start looking for actual good clothes that fit my style instead of hoarding stuff that I don't like just because it fits me. Your videos are really helping me in this regard! Very informative and well thought out.
But I'd like to ask if you have any advice on altering/fitting clothes - I have some pieces that I love and would like to adjust when my weight loss is over, but i'm not sure if it's a good idea or how to approach that or how much fitting would be too much - like, if there's going to be a point where it's just not worth it because it's not going to look good.
Thank you so much!! Greetings from Brazil!
Excellent! Just picked out new frames yesterday and I think I actually did pretty well. Wish I'd seen this before though.
Recently I bought a oversized sunglass and I was feeling little uncomfortable to wear that as I thought it will cover my face. But I have oval shape face and your suggestion make me feel so confident ❤️. Thank you ❤️
Cool!!! I picked the right glasses for my 💎face shape. Thanks Justine.
As a glasses aficionado with poor eyesight (have many), I loved this. One point, I’d like to make and that is to ask if sometimes esp for things like this, you show actual humans with suitable and less so glasses. I find that aspect (visual and relatable) very useful. HUGE thanks, Kostana x
that was the original plan but then no glasses brand wanted to lend me glasses (of my choice) for the video. It was taking forever so I decided to go ahead without - but I'd like to re-do the video with real glasses, one day.
Justine Leconte officiel sorry to hear that
you should write a style book! you are really explaining everything so informative and yet simple to understand the core principles. love your videos!
Hi Justine, could you do a video on color/pattern combinations when it comes to clothing? I know you've done a video on which color looks good on who, but could you do one on color (and/or pattern) when it comes to wardrobe and outfit planning? The "do's and don'ts" or your personal recommendations? Thank you!
Pretty sure she will just tell you that there are no absolute don'ts. In my opinion, it has more to do with proportion of color and what you want to express. But I would be interested in hearing Justines preferences :)
I agree. I work within the fashion industry and am constantly expected to be creative when creating outfits for clients. But so often I hear things like "no, no, navy and black shouldn't match" or "no way red and pink can be a thing" ... of course it's a personal preference thing, but I believe seeing how other people do it can inspire as well :) And who better than Justine :D
Hi, Vesna! Did you watch the video "Color Theory Basics for Fashion"? Justine uploaded it on February of this year. :)
Justine are you telepathic? I was just having this very conversation with a girlfriend last week as I was looking for new sunnies. She was surprised to hear all the thought I was putting in to buying them...my face shape, color etc. Thank you for validating my theories!
You are absolutely one of the nicest and most competent people on youtube. Great channel! :)
I absolutely love listening to you speak- I love your accent.
+Jennifer Thibodeau thank you 😅
Hi Justine! Thank you for your tips and videos! I would be happy to see video on how to combine the clothes and colors. Thank you
Hi Justine, I just LOVE all your videos - even when its something that doesnt really apply to me, I watch them anyway just because you are so delightful, and such a positive and lovely addition to my day. I love all the amazing tips and you always make me smile. Thank you so much for your channel and Im so glad I came across it. Hugs
Great video! :)
I'd like to mention, by choosing the color of the glasses not only the undertone and the wardrobe will have an influence but also the color of your eyes. E.g. wearing usually black colors and having dark hair too, you need a pop of color in accessories. Nothing better for this reasons your glasses. If you have e.g. green eyes and blue undertone, a cherry red or bluish/purpleish frame will serve great. It goes well with your skin and enhance the color of your eyes too. For blue eyes and blue undertone purple and green works very well. For brown eyes, which is a jolly joker, works everything well as it will not have as much influence for the other colors to consider. I mean you just need to consider the skin- and hairtone and the style and color of your wardrobe.
Eszter Bódi What's a jolly joker?
Tracy Hi Tracy! :) Do you know the jolly joker card in the French cards? You've the advantage if you own that cards in the game...
+Eszter Bódi French cards? 😅
Justine Leconte officiel Hello Justine! :) Yes! :D In Hungary we call them French cards and probably used the wrong therm... What are they called in English? Poker cards probably? I'm confused... Lol.... :D
we (austria, so not far from hungary) also call them french, as opposed to german. I believe the "border" runs right through Switzerland. if you look "french playing cards" up on wikipedia it shows you a comparison to other types.
Nice to see I've been doing it right for years. These tips also seem to fit with my style and color choices.
I love your channel. So much more informative than the fashion mags which are just advertising for the labels.
+Yoshie W thank you!!! 🤗
You explain things so well. I can take your suggestions for style & beauty to my wardrobe and instantly look much more put together. Fabulous! Thank you!
I have never felt like I fit in any of the face shape categories, but something about the phrase “long oval” was an “oh, duh!” moment for me. Not sure how I’ve never seen that phrase before! Your videos are always so wonderfully informative.
I have to get new glasses soon. And have been dreading the decision making for a new model. I think these guidelines will help me a lot to know what to look for, thank you!
This video was so helpful! I thought I had an oval face, but now I think I may be a diamond shape. Frames with an uplifted look to the outside have always looked better on me :) Thank you Justine.
+Lisa Thornton my pleasure!
Thanks Justine. With my oval face you have given me the autorisation I needed to buy those oversized G & B rounded sunglasses that I've been drooling over ! Excellent vidéo comme toujours. Bises x
+Michele 65 you have my blessing 😂😉
Of course I meant D & G ! Voilà c'est fait je suis l'heureuse proprio de mes lunettes de rêve diva italienne ! ; )
This is my new favorite channel!! I'm so thankful you exist!! Your videos are informative, helpful, not over exaggerated, and your sense of style is impeccable! I've only watched about 3 videos so far, but I am really interested in buying your jewelry(if I can afford it)!! Is there alink somewhere for that? I've always wanted to make sterling/gold/metal jewelry. Can you please make a video that shows your process of learning this skill? Thanks for doing what you do!!
Hey Justine, this video is extremely helpful, I have been wearing the wrong set of glasses for my face shape all this while, my sister would keep telling me that the frames don't suit me, but I never understood why, now I know better. Thank you so much.
Also, I am an aspiring Personal Stylist, it would be amazing if you could do a video on style categories.

Thanks Justine. I have a square face and always like Harry Potter type.. I think I have found the true type by trying.. But good to see that is a right choice.
It's incredible how much thought you put into your videos and as here also how analytical you are! Thank you, it makes me rethink my choices of glasses and will spend the rest of the evening checking on all of them., ;)
Hi Justine.....
U r amazing in explaining....
I just sat in front of my mirror n got it that my face is diamond shape..... thanks ..... waiting for ur next video 😘
Excellent very clear advice, thankyou Justine!!!
This was great and raised issues I've never thought of before. I'm new to glasses and having to compensate for them so I'm grateful for this vid.
Justine,
You are very well researched on this subject! I just want to add, for glasses wearers that are concerned about the size (thickness) of their lenses; the smaller the area of your glasses the thinner the lenses will look. This is for nearsighted people only.
thanks for adding this point in. I am very nearsighted and as we say in France, my lenses are "as thick as the bottom of a wine bottle" ;-)
This was by far the best glasses shape video I've watched, and I've watched a lot of them. The extra tips were so so helpful and I know exactly what to look for when I start browsing for new glasses. Thank you!!!
I really enjoy your video!!!really appreciate your efforts. An additional thing for selecting lenses is to consider if it is anti-glare. if it is not, people will just see themselves when they look at you.
I would love to see more on skin care... Especially how to tackle dry skin, freckles, wrinkles and open pores! Could you please give your expert advice?! :)
Wow, I didn't even know glasses could be made of something else but glass. I'm short-sighted as well, quite so, in fact and the effect really bothers me, not to mention how heavy my glasses are. Awesome video, thanks for the advice!
Thanks for adding the triangle/pear, as that is my face shape. I have had to look hard to find my face shape, and information about what flatters it. I love your channel!
+Stella Caughell glad you found it useful 😉
I just bought sunglasses yesterday, and I nail the shape.
Also, your cheekbones are pronounced and lovely, classic.
+Tinymoezzy well done & thank you 😊
Another very helpful video Justine! Certainly narrows down the choice we face when purchasing eye ware as we are often confronted by many walls full of different frames!
+Janet Tekenos I also used to feel overwhelmed in front of all those glasses 😊
sooo useful! I choose glasses since 10y and it's the first time I have the feeling to get it right!
This is so helpful. I'll be getting a new prescription soon, and I want to go from a small rimless frame to a larger frame for progressive bifocals. I have a round face, and I think my prescription sunglass frame has been starting to seem not quite right to me. Now I know why after watching your video. Thanks a lot. I'm going to share with my friends.
see the difference between the cat eye and the square on the triangle face really drove home for me what I was already considering. I thought that the straight lines are the square glasses which are very much like the ones I currently have, made the face look more bottom-heavy, like a squash, which is exactly the insecurity I'm trying to minimize with my new frames. cat eye for me then!
I liked that you took the time to mention lense colour, most people don't think of it (:
I was one of your subscribers who requested for this video.. So happy to get it finally... This video is well described & easy to understand... You r amazing ..Thank you 😊
+Tamanna Amin good you're happy, thanks 😉
You are like Lisa Eldridge. You are very informative, you really know what you are talking about. Also, your aura and voice is very calming.
So helpful!!! Thank you for sharing your expertise!!!
hi
I am from India and a big admirer of all your videos as also the different types of concepts that you touch in the videos. Thanks a lot. Plz also do a video on selecting lips sticks for Indian skin type and eye makeup as I rarely find any good suggestions for that skin tone as very few videos pertain to that.
Your videos are incredible and I love that you are so genuine and open minded.
Thank you, Justine. When large colored frames were very fashionable, I looked good in cranberry (blue-toned) red and in a clear medium green - obviously b/c I have blue undertones.
I appreciated the comment about the eye-shrinking effect of glasses for myopia: my near-sightedness is so bad that l gave up large frames in favor of smaller horizontal ovals which sit closer to my eyes. Now I know why this worked - severe myopia & a square face.
Since my prescription is a scorchingly expensive $600+, and I cannot wear contact lenses, if I made a mistake - I was just stuck with it.
Justine, from the amount and quality of your videos, plus your designer work you look like a very productive woman. Can you make a video on the productivity issues, how do you keep your productivity level so high? What is your secret? :)
Thanks Justine! I have to get glasses for the first time soon (I am also slightly nearsighted), so this is very timely!
+Megan Kudzia perfect!
You are just so freaking helpful! You Tube needs you!
+Helen De Armond hahaha thanks 😄
Thank you Justine) Now I understand why my cat-eye glasses looks so well on me. I have the diamond shape. And they literally add the line I seek.
Great!
I am so glad you did this video Justine! As always, it is delightful and very educational, especially more so since I am very near-sighted and glasses are such an important part of my overall look. I wished this could have came out earlier because I spent over 2 hours at the store looking for the right pair about a year ago. I had no idea what to look for and had to keep trying different ones. I think now that I have a general guidelines; next time hopefully it will be less than an hour :)
+fiveminusoneiszero hahaha next time, you'll know 😉
I really like the disclaimer at the end, I get the whole balancing shapes theory, but sometimes you really like some shapes of your body and face and feel happy to accentuate it. Great vídeo as always Justine ❤
anyone lucky enough to have an oval shaped face can wear any shaped frames.
Hi Justine, love your videos. I learned so much and enjoy the very useful information you share. I also love your way of presentation. I see that you don't use a lot of eye makeup. Have you done any makeup video anyway?
Thank you for another good video. You give a polished presentation, and your information is useful. I shop for sunglasses tomorrow.
I haven't got through all of your videos yet but do you have sections dedicated to men's fashion? I love that this video also is useful for men.
Another wonderful video - thank you! Can you create a video on "when to say good bye to certain articles" (clothes, shoes, scarfs, jewelry, etc) ? I think I need help managing my wardrobe.... THANK YOU!
Pleaaaaase Justine make a video on eyebrows. Yours are amazing!!
Thank you , AGAIN! I wear glasses and often struggle to find frames that suit me. This was so helpful. I will watch it again and take copious notes. Justine, you are a gem! 👏👏
Hi Justine. I've been binge watching your videos recently (new subscriber. Lol). Can I just say that I LOVE the way ou start and end your videos! And your accent and just your whole way of speaking and explaining!! This video is encouraging me to go try out different styles of sunglasses. I've always had a problem finding one that looks good on my face (oval face ☺...but long forehead 😧) but, honestly, never tried certain shapes because I thought they'd look bad even before trying them on. Since you're saying basically any shape can go with an oval face, I'll try them all out and see which works best. Thanks for your great videos! They're almost always so helpful and fun to watch.
Correction: I think my face is oval. Could very well be wrong on that. Lol
Oh wow, I actually found the right glasses for my round face 😱 actually I feel very comfortable with my glasses on and I feel like it makes a lot for my overall appearance. And a lot of people didn’t even realize that I suddenly wore glasses, and for me that’s a sign that I found the perfect pair
You are a real expert in explaining. This has helped me so much, thanks a lot! I think I will go sun glasses shopping on my holidays in Paris next week 🤓💕 Love your channel, please keep going like that!
+sarahchérie oh enjoy your time in Paris! 👍
Hi Justine, years ago one designer mentioned in his video that when choosing your glasses you should take into consideration the shape of your eyebrows. The upper rim of the glasses should match the line of the eyebrows. It works with me perfectly and have always helped me to pick the right frames. In my case that would be "cat eyes" (long live this trend, please!). Thank you for your video. Lots of love from Australia.
yes it's crucial to consider your actual facial features, not just the outline of your face shape.
You’re ROCKING those sunglasses!!!
Hi Justine! I'm a new subscriber and I love your videos. Just one small idea/suggestion, would it be possible if you make a video about wedding dresses/style? I understand it might be a very complicated topic. There are quite some videos out there but I still got confusion (hard to make choices) after seeing lots of them. Thanks!
Justine you are my new best friend on UA-cam! thank you for all these great videos I wish you good luck!
Hi Justine,i like your work and your personality.you offer very good insights.thank you and keep up the good job.
Thank you so much, Justine! This is exactly what I was looking for and more! It is wonderful how complete and detailed your videos are. You always take care of providing high quality content in a clear way.
