How To Choose Earrings For Your Face Shape

Before you pick out the perfect earrings for your outfit, you should try to discern what your face shape is. The primary step is to decide which of the four face shapes you have: oval, round, rectangle, heart, square or diamond. Pull your hair back and look carefully at your face in the mirror. Does your face widen at the corners near your ears? Heart, round, oval and diamond face shapes do. If the sides of your face continue to head in a long or flat plane, you have a rectangle shaped face. Should your chin have a distinct point to differentiate it from the rest of the face shape, it's probably rectangle, heart or oval-shaped. Meanwhile, if your lower jaw has a continuous chin point with no protrusions, you have a round or square face shape.

Oval Face

The earring styles that are compatible with your facial features are chandelier and dangle styles, particularly styles that are thinner at the top and widen as they drop underneath your ear. This style helps to elongate your ear ridge and draw unwanted attention away from your oval facial features, thus providing an elegant look.

Round Face

This particular face shape calls for long chandelier earrings. They should be thin at the top and elongate as they drop from the ear ridge, thus diverting attention from your cheekbones and round facial features. Disc style earrings shouldn't be chosen as they aggravate the roundness of your face. Geometrical shapes are recommended as long as they fit the above mentioned rules.

Heart Shaped Face

Heart shaped faces call styles similar to round faces, except with some minor caveats. Long, chandelier and drop style earrings are perfect for a heart shaped face, provided their length drops at or above the chin. This style of earring helps to bring the focus on the length of the face and widens the appearance of the mouth.

Rectangle Shaped Face

Short drops and studs are appropriate styles that can help widen the rectangular face. These styles highlight your eyes and bring more attention to the cheekbones.

Diamond Shaped Face

A multi-stone earring with an elongated drop will go a long way with your diamond shaped faces. This style will help draw unwanted attention away from your facial contours while focusing attention on your mouth and cheeks.

The correct earrings can help accentuate your facial features and help you feel your most beautiful. When you choose the right style that suits your face, you can put your best foot forward in any outfit.
