Choosing Earring Shapes That Compliment Your Features

Face And Personality Determine Earring Shape
Choosing the best earrings for ones face shape, length of the neck and unique personality are the best considerations for selecting earrings. Great earrings do for features what fantastic shoes do to enhance and accentuate the length and shape of ones legs. Correctly and carefully chosen earrings always bring out ones best features, no matter what ones face shape, neck length or personality type is. In fact, this is usually the best way to choose stylish earrings.

There are basically six types of face shapes, and the first thing one must do is determine the type of face shape they have. The six types are round, oval, square, heart shaped, narrow and diamond shaped. If you are lucky enough to have either an oval shaped face or diamond shaped, virtually any type of earrings will look wonderful on you. For all types, however, it is always recommended to choose based on face shape. Personality must also be a factor, a boisterous personality will require larger and bolder styles, more reserved personalities require more subdued styles.

Round Faces
For round faces, drop earrings and long dangles work the best to help to elongate the face and draw the eye downwards towards the chin. Any earrings that help to elongate the face are gorgeous on a round faced person.

Oval Shaped Faces
The best earrings for those with oval shaped faces are teardrop and oval shapes that softly compliment the faces natural contours. Medium length earrings work best. You would not want to wear extremely long ovals or teardrops that magnify the length of the face.

Heart Shaped Faces
Characteristics of heart shaped faces include wider foreheads, with a face that narrows as one looks downward to the chin. Earrings that are wider at the bottom than they are at the top are often the best choice for this face type. Teardrop styles and others featuring soft curves work well, too.

Square Shaped Faces
For a square shape of face, medium to a long length earrings work well. Hoops also look beautiful, as do earrings that are angular or with a soft round shape to them. The main idea for a person with a square shaped face is to soften the natural angles that occur with this face shape.

Narrow Faces
For those with narrow faces, earrings that have lots of volume are the best choice. If a different look is desired, one can choose short dangles or post type, especially pearls. The idea is to draw the observers eye across the width of the face to help minimize face length.

Diamond Shaped
In a diamond shaped face, the forehead and chin are narrower than the rest of the face. Earrings with more width than length are great choices. Combinations of curves and linear styles are also exceptional choices.

Beautiful Earring Types
Earrings that look nice on virtually anyone include wood earrings, animal print earrings, large and boldly studded earrings and wood and resin printed earrings. The most important factor to take into consideration is the shape of the earrings. Perfect earrings act as a stunning accent to the face, and bring out ones best features. Personality of the wearer is also crucial to consider. Sparkly earrings will bring out the beautiful sparkle in the eyes. Wood earrings will help to enhance an olive toned skin type. When earring stylists are aware of their face shape and personality type, they have an advantage in knowing exactly what earring shape will look great on them.
