The Major Face Shapes

In the world of fashion, human faces are described according both to their shape and skin tone. While some women choose earrings to complement their skin tones, most fashion experts agree that it is more important to choose earrings that flatter the general face shape. The chart below provides a description of the different face shapes.

Oval	Oval-shaped faces feature foreheads that are as wide as the cheekbones. The face narrows from the cheeks to the chin, creating the oval shape.
Round	Also called circular faces, round faces are widest at the cheekbones. The cheekbones do not taper down to the chin as with other face shapes.
Heart Shaped	Heart-shaped faces feature a forehead that is wider than the cheeks. The cheeks further taper down to the chin.
Square	The forehead, cheeks, and jaws are all about the same width on a square-shaped face. Women with square-shaped faces tend to have very strong jaw lines.
Narrow	Sometimes called a "rectangular" face, the narrow face has the same general shape as a square face but is elongated.
Diamond Shaped	On the diamond-shaped face, the forehead and chin are narrower than the cheekbones. Women with diamond-shaped faces tend to have very strong cheekbones.
