This guide will help you find the most flattering earrings for your face.
There are many factors to consider when choosing jewelry to wear. You’re not only choosing the type of jewelry you want (modern, classic, or vintage-y), but you also have to choose the metal and gemstones you prefer. Shopping for earrings is a bit more difficult than most. While many fashion experts will tell you to choose whatever earrings you like, you should consider how the style and shape of your earrings match your face. This guide will help you determine the shape of your face and choose the right earrings.
You can ensure the earrings you choose look flattering on your face by considering the style, shape, and appearance of the earrings.
Round
A round face is defined by a circular shape. The cheeks are the largest point on your face. Round faces don’t taper down to the chin. Longer, dangling earrings are a great way to balance her round face. Here are some styles to consider:
A long-lasting teardrop.
Chains with a bauble at the end.
A series of gems.
Round faces of women with round faces might want to avoid shapes that mirror their face shape.
Narrow
A narrow face shape is a long, not wide, shape. The width of the jaw, cheeks, and forehead is approximately equal. You can add more volume to a narrower face by choosing:
Round shapes include pear studs or round diamond studs.
Look for long, dangly earrings with round shapes. Anything that has a soft, circular shape will highlight your cheekbones.
Square
Square faces are equal length and width. The cheekbones, jawline and jawline of a square face shape are equally long. Wide earrings will only increase the width of your face. What to look for:
Rounder shapes include pearls, buttons styles and dangling circular forms.
Hoop earrings. Large hoops are a great way to add drama to the evening. They’re stylish, elegant and flattering.
Avoid diamond or square shapes.
Oval
Lucky oval! The oval face shape is great for most earring styles. Consider:
These earrings are long and dangling, with an oval shape.
Long teardrop-style.
You will also feel less narrow if you wear wider styles. You can add to your jewelry collection often and try different earring styles.
Heart
The narrowest part of a heart face is at the chin. It gradually becomes wider with the forehead being the largest. This shape can be accentuated with:
Curving earrings with long lengths will highlight your prominent cheekbones.
Earrings with a chandelier ornament.
The long teardrops can be made in metal, gemstone, or diamond designs. They can soften the appearance of a pointier jaw.
Diamond
A diamond face shape is easily identified by its prominent cheekbones. The chin and forehead are smaller than the middle of the face. You can highlight your cheekbones the same way as with the heart shape.
These earrings are long and dangling, with softly curving designs.
Avoid earrings in a diamond shape. They won’t blend well with your face and may overemphasize your widest part.
