Celebrity Secret to Finding the Perfect Shades

(ARA) - All eyes are on actress Finola Hughes, host of the Style Network's top rated show, "How Do I Look?" every time she goes out in public. But it's not the fabric or design of her fashionable outfit that garner the most attention.

Sunglasses can finish off a look and make anyone feel stylish and hip. Of course, when choosing new shades, there are many things to consider -- size, shape, color, design -- but what many people neglect to focus on is getting the best lenses. "At any age, but particularly after the age of 40, eye protection and quality sun lenses are necessary," says Hughes, who recommends that when choosing new summer specs, you consider the following:

* Protect your eyes from harmful UV rays with polarized sunglass lenses, like Varilux with Crizal Sun lenses which offer 100 percent protection from UV rays and feature a brilliant, mirrored front side, dual-sided and fully-integrated scratch protection and super-hydrophobic properties. The premium lenses also provide for better vision, reduced glare, sharper images and improved depth-perception.

* Classic sunglass frame styles that are essential to complete any wardrobe are wayfarers, aviators, large tortoiseshell and square black -- they will take you from season to season.

* Choose the right frames for your face by concentrating on color and size. Pay attention to your complexion; if you have a pale or sallow complexion, find a good shade to complement it, like a warm brown or amber. Conversely, if you have a darker or olive complexion, hit the reds and pinks, they will look luscious next to your skin.

* Above all else, always be sure to line the top of your sunglass frames with your eyebrows -- nobody wants to resemble a bug.

* If you're in your 20s and 30s, experiment with trendier fun styles. For 40 and up, have fun in a more artistic fashion by choosing frames that are clever and architectural.
