How to Choose Earrings to Flatter Your Face

If you’ve ever had trouble picking out earrings, I’ll break it down on what shapes flatter your face!

But first, DETERMINE YOUR FACE SHAPE: Pull your hair off your forehead with one hand, look into a mirror and trace the outline of your face on the glass with lipstick. The outline you’ve created is your face shape!

If your face is square, go for curved earrings to help soften the angles in your face. The earrings should be longer than they are wide.
