Choose the Right Earrings According to your Face Shape

Earrings are the finishing touches. They are the confidence you wear; these miniature pieces are often overlooked. Earrings are a work of art that help shape your personality. But with so many designs and patterns attracting your attention, it might be difficult to find the perfect pair.

Here’s a secret weapon: your face shape!

Knowing your face shape can help a lot, as you can understand which style complements your facial structure. Understanding your facial structure is the key to enhancing your overall look.

First, let's find your face shape:
It’s high time to discover your face shape. Knowing it can help you find what suits you the best and affect your overall look. During Hollywood's golden era, a genius makeup artist provided a guide for selecting makeup based on the outline of the face. Similarly, Dazz will help you choose the right piece of earrings as per your face shape.

How do you discover your face shape? Easier than you’d think:

• Stand in front of the mirror with your hair pulled back so that you can see your face clearly.
  
  
• Take a close look at your face shape and decide whether it is longer or wider.
  
  
• Consider the cheekbone position relative to the forehead and jaw.

Here's a breakdown of some common face shapes: 

• Oval: balanced proportions, longest face shape; cheekbones are the widest part.
  
  
• Round: full cheeks, shorter length compared to width, rounded jawline and chin.
  
  
• Square: strong jawline, similar width across forehead, cheekbones, and jaw.
  
  
• Heart: the wider forehead, pointed chin, and cheekbones are the widest parts. 

If you are not able to make out your correct face shape, don’t worry! Some faces can be a combination of two shapes.

Rest assured! Dazz has something for each face shape:

Earrings for round faces:
Round-faced beauties are known for their balanced and soft features. Choosing earrings tailored for your face shape can highlight your gentle curves. If you are blessed with a round face shape, Dazz would recommend the following earrings:

1. Long earrings
   These earrings work their magic by creating the visual illusion of a longer face, adding balance and definition. By understanding the power of the long line, you can create a look that's both stylish and beautiful.
   
   
2. Geometric earrings
   The beauty of geometric earrings lies in their variety. Squares offer a bold and modern statement; rectangles add a defined sophistication; and triangles represent a playful edge. Geometric earrings beautifully contrast with the soft curves of a round face.
   
   
3. Teardrop earrings
   Teardrop earrings are a beautiful and versatile choice for anyone, but for those with round faces, they offer the added benefit of elongation and definition.

Earrings for an oval face:
When it comes to earrings, an oval face shape is considered to be the ideal face shape. But that doesn’t mean any earring will do justice to it. You need to select the earrings tailored for an oval face shape.

1. Hoops
   Hoops beautifully sync with oval faces. They come in a variety of sizes, from small and delicate to statement-making earrings.
   
   
2. Studs
   Studs are versatile and classic earrings. They pair well with an oval face shape. Studs can also be a great way to showcase your favourite gemstones or pearls.
   
   
3. Chandelier earrings
   Chandelier earrings are a type of dangle earring that is long and elaborate. They're a great choice for special occasions or if you want to make a statement.

Earrings for a square face:
A square face is characterized by a strong jawline, a broad forehead, and sharp angles. When choosing earrings for a square face, the goal is to soften these features and create the illusion of a more oval shape. Here are some types of earrings that flatter a square face:

1. Hoop earrings
   Go for mid-sized hoop earrings. Skip small or very large hoops, as they will make your face appear wider.
   
   
2. Statement earrings
   These earrings will draw the eye away from your strong jawline and add visual interest to your face.
   
   
3. Elongated drop earrings
   These earrings will attract downward, making the face appear longer and more balanced. Look for earrings that are teardrop-shaped, pear-shaped, or have curved details.
   

Earrings for the heart face:
Heart-shaped faces are known for their wider foreheads and cheekbones that taper down to a pointed chin. To flatter this face shape, it's recommended to choose earrings that elongate the face and balance out the fullness at the top.

Here are some great earring options for a heart-shaped face:

1. Teardrop earrings:
   These earrings suit the heart shape. This balances out your face and brings attention to your eyes and cheekbones.
    
2. Long danglers:
   Danglers contrast well with heart-shaped faces as they enhance the facial features. It is advised to look for ones that have broader bottoms.
   
   
3. Tassel earrings:
   They can be classified as danglers, if thinking technically. They add charm and ease of movement. Earrings like this add a bit of fun to your style.
