The key of knowing “how to choose earrings” is to find the ones that complement your face. Because earrings are a fantastic way to enhance your appearance or to complete an outfit you must remember that they must always add balance and shape to your face. Here are some tips that will have you quickly on your way of finding the right earrings.

Round Face

Round faces need earrings to provide length, such as long, dangling or rectangular-shaped earrings. Since the vertical lines emphasizes more on length, the face begins to look slimmer and longer.

• Oval Face

People with oval-shaped faces are the most lucky ones. Their faces are very proportionate and they can wear almost any style of earrings to enhance their appearance.

• Rectangular Face
  

Rectangular-shaped faces have more length than width and need earrings that do not emphasise length. Small studs work well and long dangling earrings should be avoided.

Square Face

As long as you avoid harsh angles and square shapes, you can wear just about anything in the earring category. Hoops and curved edges will add the necessary roundness, and drop earrings, long tear drops, or multi-tiered dangling earrings will give a square shape some length.

Heart-shaped Face tends to have a wide forehead and cheeks which narrows to a point at the chin. This face shape is complimented by adding width at the jaw line with triangular-shaped, tear-drop or chandelier style earrings.

Sharp features: Wear round earrings or earrings with curves in order to sweeten up your face shape (hoops or round beaded earrings). The curves soften the features over all to enhance and create a very flattering look for women with such sharp features.

Flat Features: The best way to sharpen face shapes with flat features is to wear angular earrings. Earrings with points like stars, triangles, and diamonds work well with women with flat features. You can have some extra fun with geometric shaped earrings.

Petite women need earrings that bring the viewer’s eye up. They have to choose earrings that compliment their size. It’s important paying attention to dangling earrings (and the space between the ears and shoulder). Longer earrings will block that space and give the appearance of a shorter neck line.

Ladies of average height are not restricted by height. They can wear any style of earrings that also flatters their face shape.

Tall women need to pay attention to the space between their ears and shoulder also. They need earrings that don’t get lost in that space such as long, dangling styles.
