  According to your description that you can have a rounded and baby face, you can try some eyeglasses with angles so as to make your face less round. For example, you can try cat eye style, wayfarer style eyeglasses. Besides, you shall avoid very large frame that will make your face look rounder. Also, eyeglasses with upswept shape probably look wonderful on you. You can have a try so as to decide which style suit for you best. Good luck.

  A round face is soft and circular with length and width of equal proportions. With this type of face, the cheeks are usually full and the chin is rounded with no or few angles. Unlike some other face shapes, a round face is usually easy to recognize because it is all about curves. The most important thing to keep in mind when choosing glasses for round face shapes is to look for frames that add angles.

  When choosing glasses for round faces, the goal should be to add contrast to the face's natural curves and to avoid frames that could exaggerate the roundness of the face. By adding contrast, you can make a round face appear thinner and longer.
  A good rule of thumb for people with round faces is to choose glasses that are wider than they are tall, as wider frames give the illusion of a slimmer face. Also, round faces should not be afraid to try glasses adorned with prints, bright colors, strong brow detailing, and other embellishments, which all add contrast and definition to the face. Finally, glasses with a clear bridge can make your eyes appear wider while adjustable nosepads can prevent frames from resting on fuller cheeks.

  Round faces are all about curves. With fuller cheeks, wide forehead and a rounded chin, round faces are usually proportional in width and length. Round faces are the perfect showcase for strong angular shapes, just look for frames with lenses that are wider than they are deep. Rounds also play well with frames that have a slight upsweep at the corners to show off those great cheeks and brings focus to the eyes.
