Identifying Your Bone Structure

First, you will identify your bone structure by making some simple measurements or visual observations. The bone structure is the frame of the person and can be divided into three basic types: fine, medium, and strong

Measure your height: Stand against a wall with heels, back, shoulders, and head touching the wall, chin parallel to the floor. Mark a line on the wall at the top of your head and measure between the line and the floor.

Measure your wrists: Measure the circumferences of the wrist at the narrowest part above the bone.

You can visually analyze your bone structure as well:

Fine Bone Structure: Fine hair, thin eyebrows, small face, narrow/short nose, narrow wrists and ankles
Medium Bone Stricture: Between fine and strong
Strong Bone Structure: Thick hair, thick eyebrows, large face, large nose, wide wrists and ankles

Details about jewelry according to your Bone Structure

Fine Bone Structure: Fine, thin, lightweight, sheer, flat, delicate jewelry
Medium Bone Stricture: Medium thickness and length, classic jewelry
Strong Bone Structure: Strong, thick, heavyweight, chunky jewelry

While thin, flat jewelry or delicate shoes make the strong bone structure appear even stronger; chunky jewelry and shoes make the fine bone structure appear even finer. 

Accessories should match the line of your face and body. If you have curvy lines choose curvy styles, if have more straight lines then choose straight shapes.

Face Shapes

Your face shape plays a crucial role in determining which fashion elements—like earrings, eyewear, necklaces, and necklines—flatter you the most, as these pieces frame your face and enhance your overall look.

When you choose your accessories, repeating elements of the facial shape in style details create harmony. On the other hand, for some face shapes, when you are choosing your earrings, necklaces and frames, you may choose the opposite of your face shape to create a balance with your features.

Also, knowing your face shape can be extremely helpful when it comes to understanding where you need to place your blush, bronzer, highlighter, and contouring powder or choosing a hairstyle.

Determining Your Face Shape

To determine your face shape, pull the hair back from the hairline and check the outline of the face for curved vs. straight lines.

Observe your jawline in the mirror—does it appear more curved, or does it lean towards being angular or square? Take note of the width of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline, as well as the length of your face. Compare these features to the characteristics of common face shapes to find the closest match.

There are also practical and simple methods to identify your face shape. For instance, take a clear selfie with your hair pulled back. Ensure your face is well-lit and shadows-free, and look straight at the camera with a neutral expression. You can either print the photo or use a drawing app to outline your face, tracing from the hairline around the jawline and chin. Compare the resulting outline with typical face shapes.

Alternatively, you can upload your photo to a face shape analysis app. These apps automatically analyze your selfie and provide insights about your face shape with minimal effort.

We know that almost nobody is a perfect heart, circle, square, or any other narrowly defined category. Most faces are a combination of a few different shapes. What you want is the shape that looks the most like yours, even if your chin is a little more pointed than the typical oval or your forehead a little wider than the usual inverted triangle.

Also, age, aesthetic operations, and weight changes significantly influence face shape over time. These factors can alter the structure and appearance of the face, such as bone definition, skin elasticity, and facial fat distribution. Factors like fillers or Botox can also change facial features, making it harder to determine the actual shape. This likely explains why celebrities may appear to have a square face in some photos but a round face in others.

It’s not always due to cosmetic procedures—makeup artists can also use techniques to enhance or soften certain features, altering the overall appearance. As a result, our celebrity face shape examples may not remain accurate if these variables change.

Choosing Accessories According to Your Face Shape

Rectangle

The rectangular face shape is longer than it is wide, with straight sides, an angular jawline, and a straight hairline. This shape is the longest variation of the square face. The jawline is well-defined, while the chin blends seamlessly with the jawline. Cheekbones are subtle, though the apples of the cheeks may be visible. Oblong-rectangular mixed face shapes have slightly curved hairlines or jawlines.

Short necklaces like chokers create a horizontal line to shorten the face visually. Round pendants and multi-strand designs add width and volume to create a balanced look.

Studs, button earrings, medium to large hoops, circular styles, and chandelier earrings add width and balance to the face without adding extra length, while long, dangly earrings should be avoided as they can elongate the face further.

Crew neck, scoop neck, and off-the-shoulder styles widen the shoulders to add width and balance the face's length, while deep V-necks or long vertical lines should be avoided as they can elongate the face further.

Round

The face shape is characterized by similar width and length proportions and a rounded chin with minimal angularity. The jawline is soft and blends seamlessly with the chin, which is not prominent. Cheekbones are typically understated, and they become visibly full when smiling.

V-shaped, long, and layered necklaces are ideal for elongating the face by creating a balanced vertical line.

Earrings like long drops, vertical designs, and teardrop shapes are perfect. Avoid round earrings and circular designs, as they can make your face look wider.

V-neck, scoop neck, and square necklines create elongation and contrast for the face, while crew necks or high necklines should be avoided as they can enhance roundness.

Square

A square face shape is characterized by a forehead, cheekbones, and jawline that are nearly equal in width, complemented by a strong, angular jawline. Similar in proportions to a round face, the square face is almost as long as it is wide but often features a straighter hairline. While cheekbones may not be very prominent, the apples of the cheeks become more noticeable when smiling. The chin typically blends seamlessly with the jawline, maintaining the squared appearance without being overly prominent.

Some individuals have a longer "side-of-the-face" line compared to a typical square face shape, making their face more rectangular. This somewhat rectangle face is essentially an elongated version of the square face shape. However, since the difference is minimal, it is often grouped with square face shapes.

For necklaces, circular shapes, curved designs, and medium to long lengths are ideal for softening angular jawlines and creating a balanced appearance.

Hoops, circular earrings, long drop earrings, and curved designs also soften angular features and add length and balance, while square or angular earrings should be avoided to prevent emphasizing the face's squareness.

V-neck, scoop neck, and sweetheart necklines soften angular features, balance the jawline, and add a feminine touch, while harsh, angular necklines should be avoided as they can emphasize the jaw's squareness.

Oval

The oval face features balanced proportions and shape tapers gently at the jaw and forehead, creating a softer, rounded appearance. Cheekbones are typically subtle, and the face is noticeably longer than it is wide. The jawline is well-defined but rounded, and the hairline follows a similar curved pattern. The chin blends seamlessly into the jawline without standing out. 
The oblong-oval face is a longer version of the oval shape, significantly longer than it is wide.

This face shape pairs well with nearly any necklace style, from bold statement pieces emphasizing its harmony to simple pendant necklaces that elegantly highlight the neckline.

Studs, hoops, teardrops, and oval earrings enhance the balanced face shape and complement the face’s natural symmetry, while bold statement earrings add drama, but extremely long earrings should be avoided to prevent elongating the face.

Most necklines complement this balanced face shape, especially those that highlight the neckline and shoulders. Boat necklines enhance symmetry, turtlenecks add volume without overwhelming, and off-the-shoulder styles emphasize natural balance. While nearly any neckline works, excessively high ones may elongate the face.

Heart

A heart-shaped face is characterized by a wider forehead, high cheekbones, and a narrow, well-defined chin. The forehead is the broadest point, often at or above the eyebrows, and the face tapers smoothly down to a rounded chin. This shape is slightly longer than it is wide and usually features fuller cheeks compared to the inverted triangle shape. The jawline is defined but gently curved rather than sharply angled, and the chin is often rounded. The hairline typically includes a widow’s peak or a soft, rounded curve.

Chokers, curved designs, and inverted triangle pendants are ideal for adding volume and softness to the narrow chin area while enhancing balance.

Chandelier, teardrop, and dangle earrings help balance a narrow chin and draw attention downward. At the same time, small studs or top-heavy designs should be avoided as they can emphasize the forehead's width.

V-necks, sweetheart necklines, and scoop necks help balance the wider forehead and soften facial angles, while high necklines should be avoided as they can emphasize the forehead's width.

Inverted Triangle

The inverted triangle face shape resembles the heart shape but features sharper angles. It is slightly longer than wide, with the widest point at the forehead and a slimmer lower face. The jawline is well-defined and tapers sharply to a pointed chin, which may appear round or squared, and the hairline can be rounded or straight.

Short necklaces, bib designs, layered styles, and round pendants add width and balance to the inverted triangle face shape, while long vertical necklaces should be avoided as they emphasize the narrow jawline.

Earrings like chandeliers, teardrops, hoops, and wide-at-the-bottom designs add balance by softening the narrow chin and drawing attention downward. At the same time, small or top-heavy styles should be avoided as they emphasize the forehead.

The best necklines are V-necks, scoop necks, and sweetheart necklines, as they draw attention downward and balance proportions. Avoid high necklines like turtlenecks, which can emphasize a broader forehead.

Triangle & Teardrop

The triangle face shape features a narrow forehead, a broader, square jawline, and often prominent cheeks. It is a sharper, more angular version of the teardrop face shape, with less fullness in the lower face. The jawline is the widest part of the face, paired with a well-defined chin. While there may be some fullness in the apples of the cheeks, cheekbones are not typically prominent. 

The teardrop face shape, on the other hand, is softer and more rounded, with a narrow forehead and a fuller lower face. The jawline is also the widest part but has a more curved and less angular appearance than the triangle shape. The cheeks often appear fuller, contributing to the overall roundness of the face.

V-shaped necklaces, long, slender pendants, and simple, delicate chains create vertical lines to elongate the face without adding bulk.

Long, slender drop earrings, vertical designs, and slim dangles add length to the face without adding bulk, while wide or overly ornate earrings should be avoided as they emphasize the lower face.

Opt for boat necks, sweetheart necklines, or off-the-shoulder styles to draw attention upward and balance proportions. Avoid deep V-necks or narrow necklines, which can emphasize the jawline. 

Diamond

The diamond face shape features a narrow forehead and jawline, wide cheekbones, and a longer-than-wide structure. Both the hairline and jawline taper to a distinct point, with prominent cheekbones and a well-defined, angular jawline.

Short necklaces like chokers, curved designs, and medium-length styles falling at the collarbone are perfect for adding width to the chin and forehead and softening angles while creating balance.

Studs, short dangles, hoops, oval earrings, and teardrop designs highlight cheekbones, soften angles, and balance the width of the cheekbones, while long, narrow earrings should be avoided to prevent emphasizing facial length.

Boat neck, off-the-shoulder, and cowl necklines add width to the shoulders and around the neck to balance the face, while narrow necklines should be avoided as they emphasize cheekbone width.

Choosing Frames According to Your Face Shape

Once you’ve recognized your face shape, you can find which frame shape will bring a natural balance to your face. When selecting a frame, the best rule is to choose the opposite of your facial features. For example, square or angular faces look great in round frames, where round faces and softer features benefit from the contrast of square frames.

Contrast is also key when evaluating the top and bottom half of your face. If the top half of your face is wider than the bottom, do the opposite with your frame and vice-versa.

Colors? If you have warm undertones in your features, you should lean toward warm reds, yellows, oranges, browns, yellow-greens and ivory tone frames. If you have cool-toned skin, you should learn about blue-based reds, blues, grays, pinks, purples, blue-greens and magentas. If you have neutral-toned skin, you can pull off pretty much any color!
