1. Eyewear: The Key to Defining Your Facial Impression
In today's world, wearing masks has become a routine, making the eyes the most visible part of the face. With increasing focus on the eyes, people seek glasses that can make their eyes look bigger, faces smaller, and makeup more appealing. The color, shape, and design of the frames you choose can significantly influence others' perceptions of you, altering your overall facial impression.
2. Understanding Facial Impression Effects from Survey Results
Survey 1: Do Glasses Create a "Big Eye Effect"?

When comparing a woman without glasses (Photo A) to a woman with glasses (Photo B), we asked, "Which photo makes the eyes look bigger?" Over 80% (84%) responded that the eyes in Photo B (the woman with glasses) appeared larger.
This is due to the "Delboeuf Illusion" effect, where the top part of the frame sits between the eyebrows and eyelids, reducing the space and bringing the eyebrows and eyes closer together, creating a striking impression. Thick, dark-colored frames are most effective for this effect, also covering up bare eyes for a more defined look.
Survey 2: Which Glasses Have a "Small Face Effect"?

Cherish Your Current Self
For those who wish to embrace and maintain their current self, transparent frames are recommended. Ideal for when you don't want to emphasize your eyes but still want to be yourself, they create a serious impression with their skin-like transparency.
