Oval Face: How To Choose Earrings That Flatter You

The most basic accessory - the earrings, can make any woman look more attractive. Since they are worn close to the face, earrings must compliment one's face shape.

When it comes to choosing the perfect pair, determine first, the shape of your face. To do so, stand in front of a mirror with your hair pulled back. Then use a dry bar of soap, eyebrow pencil or lipstick to trace the outline of your face. Now stand back and you will see which face shape you belong to. Below is a diagram to guide you.
