The new frames' placement on your face could well be a question of 1) camera angle, and 2) fit adjustment. Most optometrists I've encountered will gladly adjust eyewear you've bought from them, as often as you need, for as long as you have the glasses. I'm again and again delighted at the difference made by their skilled hands. The areas for potential improvement that a few people here are pointing out might not be about frame choice.
The earlier frames are perhaps less conventionally flattering than the new ones are, because the top doesn't follow your brow, the lower outer corners are squared rather than swooping up like your new ones do, and the color is darker, so overall the effect is a bit stern. Yet it's a look I also wore and enjoyed. Frankly, I would still don those frames on occasion, conventional flattery to the wind, if only I'd held onto them. Alain Mikli isn't the same any more. Tortoiseshell with bits of purple. Loved them. Unfortunately, I listened to comments of people who didn't like stern and who already found too much of me too stern, too masculine, too mathy, too big, too outsourcing of "feminine" tasks, too casual on weekends. So when I damaged one hinge by walking into a glass door that was usually open, I moved on to specs more acceptable to my environment, and shifted to wearing contacts more often than not. Now I'm back in solid-looking frames, in a shape and color that are classically flattering.
Many members who are shopping for new eyewear post pictures of themselves in the frames they're choosing among, and get feedback that way. I prefer IRL feedback from someone with a critical eye; failing that, a fast data connection and video works pretty well.
