Finding the right glasses with strong eyebrows

I'm going for an eye test soon and know I'll need new glasses, as I haven't been for quite a while.

I have dark thick eyebrows and am unsure which glasses would suit me, despite years of wearing glasses Hmm I'm never really happy with what I choose. Should they cover your eyebrows? Are bold frames better than wire ones?

I think people over think this. I have big laminated over the top eyebrows and have these glasses. The lens with is 60mm and they go over the majority on my eyebrows. I really don't think it matters, go for what you like.

Thanks. The problem is I don't really know what I like! 🤔 Last time I chose these frames because I like them, but not sure they suit me. I'd like something different. I'd never have chosen the ones you posted, I really need to think outside the box.

I have quite a wide face so basically just found the biggest glasses I couldGrin

I've added a filter so hopefully I'm not recognised but you get the gist.

Same me, different glasses. See why I don't think it makes a difference?

Thanks for the photos. I prefer the second photo, but maybe that's just personal preference. I have a very oval face, so maybe I need something that will give it more definition.

I think maybe try a bold square shape Smile

Yes I think maybe you're right. Just looking online.

@MrsVeryTired

My glasses sit below my eyebrows. similar to this style
Thanks. Mine currently do too, but lower. I guess they'd need to be big to cover my eyebrows really. It's not helped by the fact I haven't had my eyebrows waxed for over a year! 😭
