3 Steps To Selecting The Perfect Earrings

Those earrings your best friend wears which makes her look amazing are the ones you should get for yourself. Right?

Wrong... Unless you are the same size as your friend, have the same hair and eye color and face shape and features, what looks great on her might make you look awful, and vice versa.

Choosing a flattering earrings are trickier than it might appear. You have to take into consideration your face shape, how sharp or how soft your features are, your size and your coloring.

Is it perfect for you?

These 3 steps help you determine whether it is a buy or not.

Step 1: Proportion

Basically, if your face is large, a tiny pair of earrings that might look delicate on a pixie faced, petite friend of yours, would disappear on you. Conversely, if you're tiny, those gorgeous, ultra glamorous chandelier earrings your Amazonian pal wears might turn heads when she wears them, but on you, it would look like the earrings are wearing you, not the other way around. Size matters. If you're small, go for delicate earrings in porportion to your size. If you're big, go for chunky earrings that are proportionate to your build.

Step 2: Face Shape

It is all about optical illusions.

If your face is angular, you'd want earrings that would make your face look softer. That can be done with earrings that have round edges. Think curves, rather than angles. Round earrings, hoop earrings and earrings with round details would suit you well.

On the other hand, if your face is flat, you'd want to create the illusion of sharper features. That can be done by going for straight lines. Think angles rather than curves. Triangular earrings, star earrings and anything with sharp angles would make your features look sharper.

If your face is round or square or wide, you might want to make your face look narrower or more oval shaped by focusing on the vertical line. That means, drop earrings, chandelier earrings and shoulder dusters are your friends. As are any earrings that are much longer than they are wide.

If your face is longer or thinner than you like, then you can make it appear wider by wearing round button earrings or square button earrings to emphasize the width, making your face appear wider.

Step 3: Coloring

Since your earrings are worn on your ear lobes, they are positioned so close to your eyes that you can use your earrings to draw attention to your eye color. You can match the color of the gems in your earrings to your eye color. Pick earrings in the main color of your eyes or in the color of the secondary colors in your eyes to emphasize your eyes. For example, if you have hazel eyes with green flecks, you could pick earrings that have hazel stones or green stones like emerald earrings. If your eyes are black, wear jet earrings. Blue eyes look wonderful with aquamarine earrings or sapphire earrings,

Besides matching your eyes, you could complement your eye color. Purple earrings would bring out the color in brown eyes. Pink earrings would look great with blue eyes or gray eyes.

Look at your skin color when you pick the color of the metal which forms the bulk of the earrings. If your skin has warm undertones, like ivory skin, warm brown skin, golden skin or even peachy skin, you'd look wonderful in gold earrings. If your skin has cool undertones, like olive skin, blue undertones as in ebony skin or porcelain skin, you'd look wonderful wearing silver earrings.

Once you've got these 3 steps right, you'll always pick earrings that make you look particularly stunning.
