 Earring Matches for A Round Face

round face

Your cheeks have a rounder shape and your face takes an overall circular form with more of your face near your ears than toward the top and bottom of your head. The easiest way to determine if you have a round face is by looking at the corners of your jaws. There should be no corners whatsoever on the jaws. Along with this, the face should be pretty equal in length and width. If you can find these features in your face, you have a round facial shape.

Earrings: Drop earrings and long dangles look stunning on you, as long earrings will help to elongate your face and make it look slimmer. Avoid hoops or button studs, because they will only add to the roundness of your face.
