VIEWS FOR 20/20 by Dr. Mark Skowron SETTING THE RIGHT TONE One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting eyeglass frames is to choose a color that will complement your skin tone. First, determine whether your skin tone is "warm" or "cool." While a cool complexion has blue or pink undertones, a warm complexion has a "peaches and cream" or yellow cast. Olive skin is considered to be cool. Next, select a frame color that best complements your skin tone. If you have warm skin coloring, the best frame colors for you are camel, khaki, gold, copper, peach, orange, coral, off-white, fire- engine red, warm blue, and blond tortoise. If have cool coloration, consider black, silver, rose-brown, blue-gray, plum, magenta, pink, jade, blue, and demi-amber (darker) tortoise. Select frames that contrast with your facial shape (such as a square style on a round face), and find a design that is as wide (from temple to temple) as the widest part of your jawline. Once you have selected the frames, take steps to ensure their longevity. Always remove your glasses with both hands.) After removing your glasses, rest them on the edge of the frame, not on the lenses. When you need to schedule an eye exam, please contact SKOWRON EYE CARE. At Skowron eyecare, your 20/20 vision is our mission. P.S. Hair colors, which are also warm and cool, should be taken into consideration when selecting eyeglass frame color. Eye color is a secondary consideration because they are so varied. SKOWRON EYE CARE 370 N.
