Accessorizing an outfit is no easy feat as it plays an essential role to enhance your look. Getting the jewelry right can make a major difference to your face.


So here are six face types along with the type of earrings that suit them. This article will help you ace your look without any hassle.

1. How to identify an oblong face?

An Oblong face is identified by more length and narrow width. In this shape, the cheeks and sides of the face are straight along with a pointy chin. The most striking feature is the maximum width at the forehead.

​Earrings for you

Jewelry with heavy accents would suit your face as they will give a fuller look to your face. Go for large hoops, smart studs, clustered earrings and short dangle earrings (encrusted with stones or anything with a circular shape) . The idea is to wear round-shaped earrings to add some definition to the face. 

2. ​How to identify a square face?

Such a face is characterized by equal measurements of the length and width. The chin is square shaped and the jawline is broad and strong. This face shape is known for its strong angles.

Earrings for you

In order to give your face a softer look, choose earrings with rounded edges. Long oval shaped earrings or hoop earrings will do the trick. You could also go for round studs for a more formal look.

​3. How to identify a heart-shaped face?

In this face shape, the chin is pointed with cheeks and sides tapering into the jawline, very similar to the shape of a heart. The face is widest at the forehead with cheekbones being equally defined and pronounced.

Earrings for you

The earrings best suited for the heart shaped face are the ones which are wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. Such earrings would compensate for the narrow chin and enhance the facial structure. You could go for chandelier or long teardrop earrings. Earrings with detailing at the bottom would also be suitable.

4. How to identify an oval face?

In this face shape, the forehead and jawline are almost the same width with the jawline having a certain roundness to it. Strong and wide cheekbones are also a part of this face shape.

​Earrings for you

The luckiest of the lot, people with oval face shape can experiment the most, thanks to the versatility of their shape. Any type of earrings would suit this ideal face shape, but the best earrings to enhance their features would be simple studs, teardrop earrings or slightly triangular and long drop earrings. 

5. How to identify a diamond face?

The shape which resembles a diamond comprises a long and narrow jawline which tapers into one point. The forehead of this face is narrow as compared to the cheek bones, which are the widest part of the face. This face is longer than it is wide.

Earrings for you

Diamond face shapes should go for long dangly earrings which have heavier accents. Tassel or wide chandelier earrings are also a good idea to compliment the face shape. 

6. How to identify a round face?

Such a face shape is characterized by having the same width and length which imitates that of a circle. The face is widest at the cheeks and does not taper at the chin. Even the jawline is round and wide.

Earrings for you

Steer clear of earrings with a circular shape like hoops or any dangling earrings with round pieces as they will magnify the roundness of your face. Long and drop earrings or dangly earrings (carved, baubles or gemstones) would complement your face shape perfectly. (picture credits: wikimedia commons)
