Choosing new glasses shouldn’t feel like a compromise.
Too often, people play it safe. Black frames, neutral shapes, nothing too bold. They “go with everything”… but do they really do anything for you?
At Rachel Murray Eyecare, we see glasses differently. They’re not just something you wear : they’re part of how you show up, every single day.
The right pair should lift your features, brighten your skin, and feel completely you.
That’s where colour comes in.
A quick word on undertones
Everyone has a natural undertone in their skin and once you know yours, choosing frames becomes a lot easier. It doesn’t change over time, even if your skin tone does.
- If your veins look blue and you tend to burn in the sun, you’re likely cool-toned.
- If they look green and you tan easily, you’re probably warm-toned.
- Somewhere in between? That’s neutral — and you have more flexibility than most.
So what works best?
- Cool tones suit shades like blue, purple, silver or crystal-clear frames.
- Warm tones come to life with gold, brown, olive or honey colours.
- Neutral tones can carry both — from soft, understated shades to something a bit more playful.
It’s not about strict rules. It’s about finding colours that enhance your natural features rather than compete with them or wash them out.
And honestly, when you find the right pair, you can see it instantly. Your face looks brighter, more defined and you feel it too.
Of course, reading about it is one thing, seeing it in person is another.
That’s why at Rachel Murray Eyecare, we take the time to guide you through the process. Because the right glasses don’t just help you see better : they help you feel like the best version of yourself.
