How To Look Your best with the help of Earrings That Flatter Your Face Shape

Few women have that perfect face shape, but through the careful choice of earrings, a woman can give the illusion of a slimmer or wider face, depending on the effect you wants.

Think about it,



Round Face

Use accessories and makeup to make your face look slimmer, unless she is a model. Models thrive on their unique looks, so you might want to highlight the roundness of your face.



Square Face

You may want to soften the lines of your jaw, but if you view your face shape as an asset, you might want to emphasize the sharp angles of your face to stand out from the crowd.

This are some tips to help you.

Creating the illusion of a slimmer face, or a wider one, of sharper features or softer features is easier than you might think. All you need are the right earrings.


The earrings have to be large enough to frame the face in order to have the necessary result. Tiny ear studs wouldn't cut it. Larger earrings that are clearly visible when people look directly at you are necessary to help create these illusions.


For those that are gifted with an oval face, you can wear literally any kind of earrings and look great. If not, you can use earrings to make your face appear oval.


Well what about if you have a narrow face. What you need is something along the horizontal lines to give the illusion of width. Try a pair of round button earrings. From 70's style plastic earrings to sophisticated diamond earrings in a large circular design to wooden ear clips would do fine. If you like hoops, wear huggies that are close to the ear and which are wide, to give the illusion of width.


To soften too sharp features, go for earring designs with curves or which are rounded. Hoop earrings work very well as would earrings with round beads or with circles in the design, or even waves.


To sharpen flat features, wear angular earrings. Triangles, stars and shapes that are pointed or with sharp lines would work very well.


For a round face or square face, you'd want the illusion of length. A dangling pendant or a cascade of beads that draw the attention along vertical lines would visually slim and lengthen your face.


I hope this tips are able to help you in choicing the best earrings to bring out the best look you desire. I believe you will feel even more confident when you know you look good.
