Do you ever wonder why some earrings look amazing on you while others just don't? 

The secret might lie in your face shape! Just like your clothes, earrings can be chosen to compliment your features.

What's your face shape?

There are five main face shapes: oval, round, square, heart, and diamond. 

• Oval: 

Your forehead is a bit wider than your chin, and your face tapers gently.

• Round: 

Your face is about as wide as it is long, with soft curves.

• Square: 

Your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline are about the same width, creating a strong, angular look.

• Heart: 

Your forehead is the widest, with a pointed chin.

• Diamond: 

Your cheekbones are the widest part of your face, with a narrow forehead and chin.

     1. Round Face

If your face is round, you want to make it look longer. Long, dangly earrings are your best friend! They draw the eye down and create a slimming effect. Think of earrings with tassels or chains. Avoid big, round earrings as they might make your face look even rounder.

      2. Heart Face

Your face is wider at the forehead and narrower at the chin. You need earrings to balance this out. Choose earrings that are wider at the bottom, like triangle-shaped or teardrop designs. Studs and small clusters also look great on heart-shaped faces. 

Check out our collection and keep in mind that earrings that stick close to the face like studs and clusters flatter equally as well.

Your face has a strong jawline. You need earrings to soften your angles. Opt for round or curved earrings, like hoops. They'll add a feminine touch. Avoid sharp, angular earrings.

Color vs. Shape for Earrings

Colour: While the colour of your earrings can certainly complement your skin tone, eye colour, or outfit, it doesn't significantly impact how the earrings flatter your face shape. The shape of the earring itself is the key factor in determining if it will elongate, balance, or soften your facial features.

Mixed Face Shapes: If you're unsure about your face shape or feel like you have a combination of shapes, the best approach is to experiment! Try different earring styles to see what looks best on you. Remember, fashion rules are meant to be broken, and confidence is the ultimate accessory.

Conclusion

Choosing the right earrings can truly transform your look. By considering your face shape, you can elevate your style and make a statement. It's a fantastic way to showcase your fashion sense and knowledge of what suits you best. So, don't be afraid to experiment with different earring styles to find the perfect pair for you!
