We are all about accentuating our features-
and choosing accessories that flatter your
face shape, can do exactly that!
So here's a guide that will help you choose
your treasure troves so you can look your
absolute best!
To know what shape your face is, make sure
you look at yourself in front of the mirror
with a good source of light
and your hair is tied back
so you can easily understand the lines on your face.
If the overall appearance of your face
is characterised by a round hairline, jaw and
even round cheeks,
you have a round shaped face.
Since the silhouette of your face is circular,
the trick here is opt for accessories that
have strong vertical lines that can add some
angular definition to the face.
Chandeliers, tear drops and long dangling earrings
are perfect.
Along with being elegant, they also give the illusion of a longer and slimmer face.
The same principle applies for necklaces-
Long or V shaped necklaces will give you a balanced
look while wearing chunky or wide accessories can end
up exaggerating the roundness of the face.
For an unforgettable ethnic look, you can
sport a thin mang tikka that has minimal detailing.
This will help add length to your face.
While the cheekbones are the most prominent
feature for the ones with an oval shaped face,
this face type is longer than its wide and
narrows down from the forehead to the chin.
You can actually choose from a versatile selection
of accessories depending on what you want
to emphasize on.
Vertical long drops and narrow oval earrings highlight
the contours of your face while
rounded ones will help broaden the narrower bits
Choker necklaces are great for adding emphasis for
those with oval faces and longer necks
while open link chains will help compliment
the soft curves of your face.
Defined by a strong square jawline where the forehead
and cheekbones are pretty much the
same width, this face shape also has a strong bone
structure with fairly straight edges.
Go for multi-tiered earrings and oversized hoops
that brush against the jaw line and adds softness
to the strong square jawline.
Opting for textured accessories like cloth and feather
will not only add a funky vibe
but also help smoothen out the overall appearance.
Avoid earrings that are too wide since they end up
highlighting the sharp corners of the face.
Since this look is all about softening the edges
go for a round brim floppy hat or even a hairband
as this will aid in blurring out any hard edges on the face.
If your cheekbones and hairline are almost
the same length while a clearly visible forehead
tapers down to a narrow chin-
you have a heartshaped face.
In order to fill the space near the chin area
look for earrings that are long and narrow
on the top with rounded bottoms.
Earrings that have striking elements around the chin area
like gems and embellishments help compensate
for the narrow chin area balance your silhouettes.
Shorter necklaces that end just just before
your collar bones close to the chin are a great pick
as they help filling space just next to the jawline.
In fact, sporting a scarf on your neck is the best way to
add length to the bottom half and
soften the look of a pointy chin.
While it is important to have your unique styles in place,
knowing what suits you can make dressing up much
more fun and shopping even easier.
