How to Choose the Perfect Earrings for Your Face Shape
Just like hairstyles and makeup, earrings have the power to enhance your natural beauty when chosen thoughtfully. The right pair can complement your facial structure, highlighting your best features and creating a harmonious balance.
Understanding your face shape is the first step in selecting earrings that flatter you most. The most common face shapes include round, oval, square, heart, and long/oblong. Let’s explore the best earring styles for each!
Round Face Shape
Characteristics: If you have a round face, your cheeks are fuller, and your chin is softly rounded.
Recommended Earrings: To create the illusion of length and add definition, opt for long, dangling, or teardrop earrings. These styles help elongate the face and create a more balanced look.
ESD Recommendation: Pear Shaped Drop Earrings
Avoid: Hoop or round earrings, as they can emphasize the roundness rather than add contrast.
Oval Face Shape
Characteristics: Oval faces have balanced proportions, with a slightly narrower chin compared to the forehead.
Recommended Earrings: Lucky you—almost any style works! Studs, hoops, and statement drops all look fantastic.
Pro Tip: Geometric or asymmetrical designs can add a unique touch and further highlight your versatility.
ESD Recommendation: Princess Cut Geometric Drop Earrings
Square Face Shape
Characteristics: A square face shape features a strong jawline with a forehead, cheekbones, and jawline of similar width.
Recommended Earrings: Rounded shapes such as hoops or oval earrings help soften the angles of your face, creating a more delicate and balanced appearance.
ESD Recommendation: Pave Huggie Hoops
Avoid: Square or angular designs that exaggerate sharp lines.
Heart Face Shape
Characteristics: This face shape is widest at the forehead and gradually tapers down to a more pointed chin.
Recommended Earrings: Teardrop or chandelier earrings add width around the jawline, helping to balance the proportions of the face.
ESD Recommendation: Vintage Vibe Statement Drop Earrings
Avoid: Heavy top earrings that create additional width at the forehead.
Long/Oblong Face Shape
Characteristics: Long and narrow, this face shape benefits from styles that create an illusion of width.
Recommended Earrings: Studs, clusters, or shorter drop earrings work best to add fullness to the face and create a more balanced look.
ESD Recommendation: Light Emerald Cluster
Avoid: Long, dangling earrings that further elongate the face.
While these guidelines provide a great starting point, remember that fashion is all about expressing yourself. Don’t be afraid to experiment and break the rules—confidence is your best accessory! Explore our collection to find the perfect pair of earrings that make you feel fabulous!
