Basic earrings guide and tips
Match with face shape
One major thing to consider when looking for earrings that will look great on you is your face shape. Earrings can make your face look thin, wide, long, or fat, depending on the shape of your face.
Round
For who has round-faced ladies have their widest face area at the cheekbones with no taper the chin. To slim this up, avoid large, circular earrings, hoops, and button studs that will only emphasize the round shape.
To balance it, choose long dangling earrings. You may also look cascading earrings.
Square
For who has wide, square jaws, you can soften it with earrings that have round edges. Choose oval and circular earrings like hoops.
Large hoop earrings look really fabulous and flattering for square-faced gals. Stay away from square or diamond-shaped earrings.
Oval
For who has long and thin face, choose earrings that will de-emphasize length. Go for clustered earrings, short dangle earrings, hoops and studs. It can also help widen the face.
But if you like long dangle earrings, look for styles that have a round shape incorporated into them.

Earrings for hair styles
Styling your earrings to match your hair do will make or break your look. Earrings are great at drawing attention to your face, but they must also contrast with the hair.
Long Hair
When you wear your hair down, it can hide any earrings you wear. If you’re going for an everyday look, a pair of stud earrings can suffice. If you want a more striking effect, a pair of gemstones, especially sparkly ones, will get noticed more.
Multiple ear piercings with a minimalist ensemble of tiny studs also work great, especially if you use studs in the same metal hue. Matching the metals will keep your look from appearing too busy.
High bun
When you wear your hair in a bun or an updo, you will free up space from your ear to shoulders, so any earring you wear can be visible. To make a statement, pick a pair of earrings that will look pretty from all angles, so your outfit will look good from front to back.
Long dangling earrings are the perfect accessory for the high bun hairstyle. Hoops are another good choice.
Short Hair
Short-haired women can look fantastic with earrings, as the hair will less likely distract from the ears. With a pixie haircut, earring jackets and ear cuffs can look striking. Getting a statement ear crawler can add an edgy and fresh look.
Take note that earring cuffs with a single color are a great choice to give a classy eye-catching look, rather than going for multi-colored items. Diamonds and crystals are great to consider if you want a statement cuff earring.
Shoulder-length hair
A shoulder-length hair creates a definite line across the shoulders. This will give you a reference point as to how big or how long your earrings can be.
The ideal pair of earrings for shoulder-length hairstyles are those with shape and make a bit of a statement. It can be colorful and large, but make sure it won’t be longer than your hair. Avoid long and thin dangling earrings because it may only end up getting lost in your hair.
