Did you know that the right pair of earrings can make a huge difference in how your face looks? Just like you can not compromise on hairstyle and makeup, earrings are also an important part of your outfits and style. The right pair of earrings can enhance your natural features and bring balance to your face shape.

But which style best complements the proportions and angles of your face? Choosing the earrings to match your face shape is not just about going with the trends, but also about highlighting the best features of your face. Before moving further, you should understand how to balance these shapes and feel more confident in your style.

Walk through this detailed guide to identify your face shape and understand the best earring styles to flatter it. Let’s get started!

Identify The Shape Of Your Face

Do you know your face shape? If not, then you must know about the six most common face shapes. The best and simplest way to know that is by pulling your hair back to trace the outline of your face in a mirror. Or measure your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline to see which is the widest.

The 6 common face shapes include:

• Oval
• Round
• Square
• Heart
• Diamond
• Long/Rectangular

Best Earrings For Your Face Shape

Your jawline, cheekbones, and forehead are all important when determining the type of earrings to go with your face shape. Before we dive into our earring styles, please take a look at what suits your face the best according to its shape and features.

Round Face

When the width and length of your face are nearly equal with soft, curved edges and a rounded jawline, your cheeks are the fullest part of your face. Your earring choice should add length and definition to create a more elongated look to your overall outfit of the day. 

✔ Best Choices:

• Long Drop Earrings
• Dangles
• Linear Earrings
• Geometric Shapes

X Avoid: Large hoops, circular studs, or clustered earrings that emphasize width.

Oval Face

If your face is slightly longer than it is wide, with balanced proportions, and your jawline is gently rounded, you have an oval face. It is the most versatile shape and you can experiment with various styles without hiding your best features.

✔ Best Choices:

• Hoops
• Studs
• Teardrop Earrings
• Chandelier Styles
• Statement Pieces

X Avoid: Extremely long and narrow earrings that might make your face appear overly elongated.

Square Face

When your forehead, jawline, and cheekbones are of nearly equal width and create a strong angular structure, it is more like a square. For this face shape, you should look for earring styles that soften sharp edges. Choose rounder and flowing options that create a fitting look.

✔ Best Choices:

• Hoop Earrings
• Oval Designs
• Medium-Length Dangles
• Curvy Shapes

X Avoid: Angular or square-shaped earrings that accentuate sharp features.

Heart Face

Is your forehead wider than the jawline and you got a narrow, pointed chin? You have a heart-shaped face and you need earrings that add volume near that pointed jawline to create balance. 

✔ Best Choices:

• Teardrop Earrings
• Chandelier Styles
• Triangular Earrings
• Designs with Wider Bottoms

X Avoid: Inverted triangles or earrings that add more width to the forehead area.

Diamond Face

If your cheekbones are the widest part of your face and your forehead and chin are both narrow, its better to balance the rest of the face. You can enhance your high cheekbones and even out the other parts by choosing soft curves or small earrings.

✔ Best Choices:

• Studs
• Small Hoops
• Clustered Earrings
• Chandelier Earrings with Soft Curves

X Avoid: Extra-long, narrow earrings that exaggerate face length and sharp features.

Long/Rectangular Face

Is your face noticeably longer than it is wide, it is most probably rectangular. You have a straight forehead and jawline and you need to add more width and volume to the shape. Mostly clustered earrings and voluminous designs go well with rectangular long faces. 

✔ Best Choices:

• Large Hoops
• Clustered Studs
• Short Dangle Earrings
• Bold, Voluminous Designs

X Avoid: Extra-long, thin earrings that further elongate the face.
