Facial Shapes and Earrings that Flatter Them

Heart Shaped: Heart shaped faces are often referred to as an “inverted triangle” This face shape is widest at the forehead and becomes narrow toward the jawline. Drop earrings that are wider at the bottom than the top flatter this facial shape.

Oval: Oval shaped faces are considered to be the “ideal” face shape. They are very well balanced and the width of the forehead and jawline are usually equal. This face shape can wear almost any style of earring. Chandelier style earrings look particularly flattering on this face shape.

Square: Square shaped faces are somewhat angular along the jawline. Sometimes the jawline may be considered strong. This facial shape is usually the same width from top to bottom. Hoop earrings are the perfect choice for this face shape as the hoop will soften the angular jawline.

Round: Round shape are wider than oval faces and are not angular. Usually round faces have full cheeks. Round faces should avoid round earrings and hoops and instead choose earrings that are longer or consist or angular shapes.

Diamond: Diamond shaped faces consist of narrow foreheads and narrow jawlines. Cheekbones are usually very prominent on this shape face. Diamond faces should avoid long linear earrings and instead choose earrings that are heavier at the bottom than the top.

Oblong: Oblong shaped faces are usually longer than they are wide. Studs and short earrings are flattering on this facial shape. It is best to avoid long and linear earrings with this facial shape as they will make the face look long and drawn.
