Ever bought a gorgeous pair of earrings, worn them, and thought, “Why does this look better on the model?” Your face shape may be the reason.
The right jewellery can highlight your cheekbones, soften your jawline and make your whole look feel more balanced. Here’s a quick guide to choosing the best jewellery for your face shape.
What Should I Wear If I Have A Round Face
A round face has soft curves and fuller cheeks.
Best picks:
-
Long drop earrings
-
Sleek danglers
-
Teardrop earrings
These styles add length and make the face appear more defined.
Skip very wide hoops or chunky round earrings when you want a slimmer look.
What about Oval Faces?
Lucky you! An oval face suits almost every jewellery style.
Try:
-
Hoops
-
Studs
-
Jhumkas
-
Chandbalis
Your only rule? Do not let extra-long earrings make your face look longer than it already is.
For My Friend's Square Face?
A square face usually has a strong jawline and sharper angles.
Go for:
-
Round hoops
-
Curved earrings
-
Oval danglers
-
Teardrop earrings
Curved jewellery helps soften angular features and adds balance.
What If It's A Heart-Shaped Face?
A heart-shaped face is wider at the forehead and narrower near the chin.
Choose:
-
Jhumkas
-
Chandelier earrings
-
Teardrop earrings
-
Bottom-heavy danglers
These designs add width near the jawline and balance the pointed chin.
Curious About A Diamond Face
Diamond faces have prominent cheekbones with a narrow forehead and chin.
Best jewellery styles:
-
Oval earrings
-
Curved danglers
-
Jhumkas
-
Small hoops
Avoid earrings that are widest exactly at cheekbone level.
And....For A Long or Rectangular Face
A long face benefits from jewellery that adds width.
Pick:
-
Large hoops
-
Round studs
-
Chandbalis
-
Cluster earrings
Avoid very long, slim earrings unless you want to make your face look even longer.
One Styling Rule That Always Works
Balance is everything.
Heavy earrings? Keep the necklace simple.
Open hair? Choose earrings that will not disappear inside it.
Most importantly, face-shape rules are only guidelines. The best jewellery for your face shape is still the piece that makes you look in the mirror and say, “Yes, this is the one.”
