Diamond
Diamond-faced women became the envy of every other face type when contouring boomed a couple of years ago. This type of face enjoys high, full and wide cheekbones, wider than both the forehead and the chin. For these lucky gals every type of stud is allowed and long pendants with round shapes that hang just above the chin will only highlight their attractive features.
Heart
Heart shaped faces show a forehead wider than the cheekbones, and a jawlines that narrow into a thin and pointy chin. A great way to create symmetry in heart shaped frames is to pick middle or long earrings that are straight from the top and wide or heavy on the bottom, this way you'll add fullness to the part of your face that's narrowest. Think of all the elegant teardrop earrings you'll get to wear!
Round
Round faces have killer cheekbones and a flat chin, resulting in a face equally wide and long. What a round face needs to appear slimmer is to give the illusion of a larger rather than wider frame. You can do this by picking long, chandelier-style earrings. Be careful with round shapes like disks or hoops and instead look for asymmetrical pendants with straight angles.
Oval
An oval face is considered the luckiest type of face because it looks well proportioned and therefore it's easier to rock almost any kind of earrings. If you're fortunate enough to have an oval shaped face, you can choose different styles depending on the features you want to highlight. For example, pearls and studs make a focus on your cheekbones, while teardrop and long earrings deepen your face contour.
Square
A square face has both the cheekbones and the jawline the same width, giving it this "boxy" look. A square face gives a powerful impression, so it's only natural that you would want to even that look by using ultra feminine and ornate earrings. You can choose from medium and long earrings but make sure they have as much round shapes as possible, avoiding square frames at all cost.
Long
Long faces enjoy a very narrow frame with noticeable length. For a face this pleasant and delicate, you can afford choosing elaborate earring shapes that add fullness to your visage. all kinds of studs work beautifully with a long face, as well as long designs with round ends, just be careful with long, thin earrings as they will make your face appear even longer.
