Let us enlighten you with some free advice on how to pick the right earring shape or style for your FACE CUT TYPE-
OVAL FACE
This is the most perfect face cut for women as most earring styles would look good on an Oval Face. With a narrow forehead, chiseled cheekbones and a narrow chin, you could carry Hoops, Chandeliers, or studs and look good in any of them. Wear oval shaped earrings to create a striking look.
Remember that people with this face cut should not choose very long earrings as it can make their face look longer.

ROUND FACE
A face cut that is equal in length and width looks round and often chubby because of the wide set cheekbones. You should opt for angular earring because you need to add some angle to your face. People with this face cut should go for earrings with geometric shapes or simple drop earrings.
Avoid wearing round hoops because it will tend to blend in with your face cut and it won’t accentuate your look.
Celebs to match with round face- Kate Winslet, Preity Zinta
SQUARE FACE
Jaw lines are more prominent in this face cut- the cheeks, the forehead and the jaws are at the same width so this look needs to be softened with earrings that are longer and less wide. Inverted Tear drop style , small circular earrings or danglers that are oval shaped work best for this face structure.
Stay away from square or broad earrings as they don't really flatter your face type.
Celebs to match with a square face- Sonam Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sandra Bullock
OBLONG/ Diamond FACE
An oblong face is an inverted oval with broad cheekbones an equal forehead and chin. You can balance the length of your face with short square or circular earrings.
Opting for longer earring styles will only add to the face length so it's better to keep it simple with regular size styles.

HEART SHAPE FACE
A heart shape face has a wide forehead, and prominent jaw line. This kind of face needs to be balanced with earrings that have a narrow top and broad bottom, like chandelier earrings or tear drop earrings. They would help to elongate and add volume to the lower part of your face.
