Everyone wants to look their best. Guests often come into McCaskill and Company looking for earrings and question which style looks best on them. Choosing the right earrings to flatter your face is easy once you know your face shape and what earrings are most flattering for you!
Face Shapes
Oval Faces- feature foreheads that are as wide as the cheekbones. The face narrows from the cheeks to the chin, creating the oval shape.
Luck you! Women with oval shaped faces can wear almost every style of earring. One of the most striking looks for the oval shaped face are oval shaped dangle earrings. This shape draws attention to the elongated face shape without adding any width or length. Women with oval shaped faces look stunning wearing teardrop earrings. Much like oval earrings these accentuate the face’s natural shape and create a look of symmetry.
Jude Frances Blue Topaz Teardrop Earrings
Round Faces- are also called circular faces, round faces are widest at the cheekbones. The cheekbones do not taper down to the chin.
The best earrings for round shaped faces will help to elongate their face with teardrop or dangle earrings. The best earrings will have long angular versus rounded designs. Most women with round shaped faces should avoid dangling circular discs as these can make the face appear wider. Earrings with a thin or medium width are most flattering for this face shape.
Pamela Froman Opal and Diamond Teardrop Earrings
Heart-Shaped-faces feature a forehead that is wider than the cheeks. The cheeks further taper down to the chin.
Earrings with elongated lines and curves will be most flattering to heart shaped faces. The elongated curves will help to balance out the face and draw attention to your eyes, cheekbones and jawline. Best styles for this face shape are dangle, teardrop and chandelier earrings.
McCaskill and Company Signature Collection Chandelier Earrings
Square Shaped faces-The forehead, cheeks, and jaws are all about the same width on a square shaped face.
Earrings with rounded designs will soften the cheekbones and the jaw line. Elongated, dangling pieces and hoop earrings are most flattering foe square shaped faces. You can also wear oversized hoop earrings that brush the jaw or extend below the jaw line for extra drama. These hoops will soften the face and make it appear smaller. Square shaped faces should avoid wearing very wide earrings.
Marco Bicego Dangle Earrings
Rectangular or Narrow Shaped- face has the same general shape as a square face but it is elongated.
Pearl or stud earrings are ideal for narrow faces as they will add softness and minimize length. Clustered pearl earrings that dangle far below the earlobe are a great choice! Long dangle earrings tend to minimize the length of very narrow faces. When choosing dangle earrings, look for pieces with elongated curves that will accentuate the cheekbones and add softness.

Paul Morelli Sapphire and Diamond Cluster Earrings
Diamond Shaped Face-the forehead and chin are narrower than the cheekbones. Women with diamond-shaped face faces tend to have very strong cheekbones.
Women with diamond shaped faces should look for earrings with long elegant curves. Both dangle and hoop style earrings accentuate this shape face. Choose earrings with soft curves to minimize any sharpness around the cheekbones or jaw line. Individuals with diamond shaped faces should avoid wearing dangle earrings that also feature a diamond shape. These pieces will make the line of the face appear exaggerated and are not generally flattering.
