Since earrings are next to our face and as such they frame it and they add another aesthetic aspect to it, it is very important that the shape and size of the earrings we choose compliment our face.
These are the few steps for smart (and the most attractive) earring choice:
CONSIDER THE SHAPE OF YOUR FACE
Firstly you need to identify the shape of your face in order to decide which earrings will look the best on you.
First, check out the picture below and decide which shape of the face is the most similar to your face.
ROUND FACE
If you have a round, full face, you'll want to avoid round hoop and button earrings since these can enhance facial roundness. Longer dangle earrings draw the eye down and make the face appear longer.
You can wear drop earrings in dangles, ovals and oblongs. Square and rectangular earrings are also good options, as are angular earrings. It’s best to avoid small studs, hoops and chunky large earrings.
HEART SHAPED AND LONG FACE
If you have a long heart-shaped face, you'll want to create width rather than length therefore look for pieces with elongated lines and curves. Pieces with elongated curves will help to balance out the face and will draw attention to the eyes, cheekbones, and jaw line. Women with heart-shaped faces look particularly good in dangle, teardrop, and chandelier earrings. Choose chandelier earrings in diamond shapes to add an interesting contrast to the face.
OVAL FACE
Women with oval-shaped faces look good in almost every style of earrings. However, they can create a particularly striking look by wearing oval-shaped dangling earrings. These earrings will draw attention to the face's elegant shape without adding any width or length. Women with oval faces also look stunning when wearing teardrop earrings. Much like oval dangling earrings, these pieces accentuate the face's natural shape and create a sense of symmetry or balance.
SQUARE SHAPED FACE
Women with square faces should choose earrings with rounded designs that soften the cheekbones and jaw line. The best choices are elongated, dangling pieces and hoop earrings. Those women who would like to add extra drama to their look can choose oversized hoops that brush the jaw line or extend below the jaw line. Such hoops will both soften the face and make it appear smaller. Women with square faces should avoid wearing very wide earrings.
