Best earring style for my face shape?
Louise McClure describes the earring styles that look best with different face shapes:
Round face: The vertical lines of elongated, linear, drop style, and narrow chandelier earrings add height and provide a slimming effect for a round face.
Square face: The round contours of hoops, long teardrops, and long, narrow chandelier earrings soften the edges of a square face while adding visual height.
Oval face: Hoops in circles, triangles, and ovals, as well as teardrop and chandelier styles, enhance an oval face.
Heart shaped face: Horizontal lines of hoops, teardrop shaped linear forms, and chandeliers that are wider at the bottom than at the top add width to a heart shaped face and soften the effects of a pointed chin.
