Welcome to a brand new series of Style and Image exclusively for glamrs.com.
The accessories that you choose will look nicer on you if it is harmonious to your face
shape and body proportion. A few points while selecting your accessories are
Face shape, jaw line and you best focal point
A focal point is the best suited point where
your necklace, pendant or even your untied scarf should end
We have 3 focal points
1st focal point
Measure the length from the top of your forehead till the tip of your nose
without changing the thumb or forefingers
Now without changing the distance between the two fingers, place the same index
finger that you placed on the top of your forehead on the base of your chin
The point where your thumb lands on is your 1st Focal point.
Your pendant and necklace should end on your first focus point
Please Note: It is important that you do not change the distance between your thumb and
index finger to get a more accurate result.
Fun Tip: Tap your 1st focal point 3 times with your
finger. Your brain will register it and you will not easily forget.
2nd Focal Point: Simply measure your full face lengthwise,
from hairline to chin with your thumb and middle finger. Use the same measurement to
determine your 2nd focal point at the chest.
Pins and Broaches can ideally be placed on the lapel of the same level as the 2nd Focal
Point. Also your longer chains and beads.
3rd Focal Point: This will be very helpful for ladies who love
wearing long scarves.
Your third focal point will be two of your full head length below your chin.
Do the same exercise with your hand or simply use a measuring tape.
Earrings: If you like long earrings, it should be the
same length as your nose.
Studs the same size as your Pupil, Iris and Eye Ball will best compliment you.
Earrings smaller than the pupil look demure whereas larger than the iris creates drama.
Remember: ·Always decorate your Skinny Bits to look
slimmer. Your Skinny Bits consists of your wrists, your earlobes and your neckline. Also
don't hide your skinny bits with the attire you are wearing. Fold a jacket slightly to
show wrists. Don't hide ankles with jeans or trousers ( fold that area) decorate with
jewellery your earlobes, neck and wrist.
However, use statement pieces alone for maximum effect. Less is always more.
Wearing Jewellery in a minimalistic approach makes you look more feminine and it also takes
years off your appearance.
Small scale jewellery is best suited on individuals with small facial features and visa versa.
While wearing a choker, keep in mind to place your choker at the base of your neck so that
the length of your neck is not hidden.
Wearing a V neck or off shoulder garment will enhance the look with a choker.
Conclusion: Always keep in mind; Jewellery close to the
face can bring out your eye colour. It also enhances your facial features.
Hope you keep these tips in mind when buying jewellery. Until next time, stay tuned and
stay Glamrs.
