Who would have thought that your choice of earrings could actually make a big impact on your overall appearance?
Earrings impact your appearance not just because of the materials used on the earrings; earrings actually also affect how you look based on its style and how it flatters the shape of your face as well. So when choosing the right earrings, don’t just buy pieces that catch your eye; make sure that the pieces you buy will help accentuate not just your personality but your face as well.
Here is a list of great information to take note of when choosing the right earrings based on your face shape:
For oval-shaped faces
The oval-shaped face is said to be the perfect face shape. Oval faces have foreheads as wide as their cheekbones. The cheekbones will also become narrower from the cheeks down to the chin, thus creating an oval shape.
- Best Earring Choice: Almost every style of earring.
For round faces
The widest points of round faces are found across the cheekbones. Also, the cheekbones of round faces do not become narrower down to the chin like other face types. Because of this, your earring choice should help lengthen your face, and should avoid emphasizing the roundness and width of your face.
- Best Earring Choice: Elongated earrings such as narrow chandeliers, dangles, drops, and ear threads.
For heart-shaped faces
Heart-shaped faces have foreheads wider than their cheeks. The cheeks would then taper down to the chin. To balance your face shape, look for earrings that are wider at the bottom than at the top. You may also wear earrings with soft curves.
- Best Earring Choice: Teardrops, triangles.
For square-shaped faces
The jaw lines of square-shaped faces have strong angles because their cheekbones do not become much narrower as they approach the jaw line. Similarly, their cheekbones do not narrow down much to the forehead as well. Because of this, earring choices should help lengthen one’s face appearance and help soften one’s jaw line. Elongated earrings – especially those that extend under the chin line—are perfect for such faces.
- Best Earring Choice: Dangles, long drops, and oval hoops.
For rectangular faces
Also known as the "narrow face", rectangular faces have the same features of square-shaped faces but are elongated. Look for earrings that will help shorten the long lines of your face and earrings that will also help soften the angular line of the jaw.
- Best Earring Choice: Ovals, short drops, and large buttons.
For diamond-shaped faces
Diamond-shaped faces have foreheads and chins that are narrower than the cheekbones. Because of this, people with this face shape should avoid earrings like big button earrings which would make the cheekbones look wider.
- Best Earring Choice: Studs, teardrops, chandeliers, dangles, drops, and hoops.
