The Best Jewelry Face Shape

How to Choose the Best Jewelry

for Your Face Shape

JenBradleyMoms.com Hi, I'm Jen!

Thanks so much for downloading your free guide to help you choose the best jewelry for your face shape!

These tips are so easy to implement and can have a big impact on how you feel about your daily appearance and your confidence!

I lived too long with zero to little confidence. And. it. was. crushing. All it took to change that was gaining some knowledge and putting that learning into practice. So that's what I'm here to do: to help other women like me find the knowledge and make a plan to help them become their best selves!

I'm a huge believer that: 1.Knowledge is power. 2.How we show up matters.

Just by downloading this guide, you've shown that you feel the same!

So let's get started!

All we need are a few simple measurements. Grab a soft measuring tape and pen and jot down the following measurements:

1. Forehead. Measuring straight across the widest part of you forehead from hairline to hairline.

2. Cheekbones. You can usually feel your cheekbones with your fingers. Locate the most prominent point of your cheek. Most likely this is below the outer corner of each of your eyes. Place the end of the measuring tape at one cheekbone and hold it across your face to the other cheekbone. Because the height of the bridge of your nose can interfere, it is best to hold the measuring tape out a little ways from your face and eyeball the distance from cheekbone to cheekbone with the measuring tape in front.

3. Jawline. Hold the measuring tape at the outer edge of your jaw, just below your ear. Stretch the tape to the tip of your chin. You can either multiply this number by 2 to get your jawline measurement or you can measure the other side of your jaw and add both measurements together.

4. Length of face. Measure the length of your face from your hairline in the center of your forehead to the tip of your chin. Again, keep the measuring tape from following the curve of your nose, as this will add extra length to your face. If you have a receding hairline, measure to the spot where you estimate your hairline once was.

Now, take a careful look at the numbers you wrote down.

If you face is longer than it is wide and your measurements for your forehead and cheekbones are similar, then you have either an oval or rectangular face. Pay close attention to the curve of your jawline and hairline. If you have an angular jawline, you are have a rectangular face. If your jaw is rounded, you are an oval.

If your face is about as long as it is wide, you have either a square or round face shape. Look at the curves of your jawline and hairline to determine which face shape is yours. If your jawline is strong and angular, you have a square face shape. If your jawline is softly curved, you have a circle shaped face.

If you measurements for your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline gradually get larger as you move down your face, you have a triangular shaped face.

If your measurements from your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline gradually get smaller as you move down your face, you have a heart-shaped face. This can be true even if you don’t have a so-called “widow’s peak” in your hairline.

Earrings: For an oval face, look to add width across the face with stud or cluster earrings. Look for bright jeweled earrings that attract attention across the face. Small interesting hoops are a good choice too. Avoid very long earrings with a straight drop, as this adds additional length to the face.

Necklaces: Look for necklaces that are fairly short. A great length is one that just graces the collarbone. Chunky necklaces that stay in a rounded shape (rather than a V-shape) are a great idea for adding some curves below your jawline. Avoid long drop necklaces that extend past your bust, as these really elongate your face.

Glasses Frames: Most frames are flattering to the oval shaped face, from round to rectangular to cat-eyed glasses. The width of the frames should not extend too far past the edges of your face. Because your measurements are fairly balanced, choose frames that are not too hugely oversized.

Celebrities with an Oval Face Shape: Cameron Diaz, Courteney Cox, Julia Roberts, Cindy Crawford, Charlize Theron, Elle Macpherson

Earrings: For a rectangular face, look for round earrings that will add curves to your face. Opt for round studs and rounded cluster earrings. Small jeweled hoops are a great option for this face shape. Avoid square earrings as well as anything that is long and thin.

Necklaces: Again, you are looking to add some roundness, so opt for necklaces with round embellishments, such a pearls of varying sizes, or necklaces that remain in a rounded shape near your collarbone. To add width, choker and collar necklaces are a great option as well. Avoid long drop necklaces that further lengthen your look.

Glasses Frames: Frames that have soft curves are best for this face shape. The width of the frames could extend a bit past the edges of your face to add width.

Celebrities with a Rectangle Face Shape: Sarah Jessica Parker, Lucy Liu, Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock

Earrings: You want to elongate your face, so look for earrings that are long and straight, such as straight drop earrings. Teardrop earrings are also a good choice. Avoid round, stud, and cluster earrings as these create width across your face.

Necklaces: Look for necklaces that extend at least beyond your collarbone and are V-shaped. Y-shaped necklaces are also an ideal option for you. Avoid any necklace that does not fall below your collarbone.

Glasses Frames: Select frames that have straight angles or strong lines. Avoid rimless styles by opting for full-rimmed or semi-rimmed frames.

Celebrities with a Circle Face Shape: Amy Adams, Mila Kunis, Drew Barrymore, Kirsten Dunst, Penelope Cruz

Earrings: Look to soften the angles of your face with rounded earrings, such as tasteful hoops. Flowing shapes, such as chandelier earrings, are also very flattering. Avoid anything very angular in appearance.

Necklaces: Princess-length necklaces are perfect for your face shape. This is a length that extends just to the top of your cleavage. Round pendants are a great idea, as are any necklace with lots of curves and flowing shapes. Avoid anything that is shorter than the collarbone or longer than bust-length.

Glasses Frames: Select frames that have round and oval shapes. You can go rather bold with glasses very well.

Celebrities with a Square Face Shape: Demi Moore, Cameron Diaz, Demi Lovato, Kiera Knightley, Diane Kruger

Earrings: To soften the jawline, hoop earrings are your BFF! Look for any long earring with rounded shapes. Rounded cluster earrings or statement round stud earrings are also complimentary. Avoid anything very boxy or square.

Necklaces: Look for princess-length necklaces, which extend just to the top of your cleavage. A round pendant is a great option and very flattering. Avoid anything too short as this creates weight that mirrors your jawline.

Glasses Frames: Consider frames that are made of very light materials and are either rimless or semi-rimmed. Also look for frames that are wider across the bottom than the top.

Celebrities with a Triangle Face Shape: Reese Witherspoon, Rosamund Pike, Victoria Beckham

Earrings: Chandelier earrings are one of the very best options for the heart shape. Look for triangular shapes to balance the face as well. Any earring, such as a cluster earring, that adds width at the jawline is perfect.

Necklaces: Shorter necklaces around or above the collarbone are best for you. Especially look for an eye-catching pendant style that will balance the jawline nicely.

Glasses Frames: Look for frames that are wider on top than on bottom, such as cat eye frames. Rounded shapes also look great. Frames can be a bit wider than your face for a flattering look.

Celebrities with a Heart Face Shape: Michelle Pfeiffer, Claudia Schiffer, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Garner
