Right Jewellery and Style for Oval-shaped Face

As individuals, we each have distinct features that make our face different from any other. There are four basic shapes: oval, round, heart-shaped and rectangular. In these articles, we will explore ways to identify our own face shape and style that best compliments it.

The Oval Face (*)
The oval face is considered the perfect shape. The proportions at the forehead are not too wide, and the line from the forehead flows into high cheekbones, then narrows slightly to a rounded chin.

Jewellery

Necklaces Any shape necklace will work for you. A choker looks just as good as opera-length pearls or any necklace that comes to a "V." Match the texture and designs to the outfit.  

Earrings Many kinds of earrings could go with your face perfectly. S oft shapes such as pearls, tear drops, circles, and ovals are best. Dangling earrings look well, if they are not too long. Keep the size of the earring in balance with your height and size.

Make up

Foundation Accentuate your best features by applying makeup that will bring out the centre part of your face. Use two different shades of foundation. Apply the darker foundation to the temples, outer cheek jaw line and the chin. Place lighter foundation in around the eyes, nose, lower forehead and upper lip. 

Blush Apply blush just under the ball, apple, of your cheekbone, directly below the outer part of the eye iris .

Eyes

Almond shaped eyes - use sharp and precise dark colored eye liner on the top eyelid, but it should not extend past the outer corner of the lid.

Oval shaped eyes - apply any shade of eyeliner thickly in the top eyelid center, and then a faint line under the area of the lashes.

Round eyes - use medium and dark shade eye makeup on the lower lid, a shade darker on the upper lid, and neutral colors below the eye.

Hair

Hair pulled back or worn in an updo will show off your face the most. In long styles wear a centre or side part with hair touching shoulders. The short-layered looks with curls and a close extended nape will focus on your face.  Avoid heavy bangs or a style that is very forward directed and will cover your beautiful asset.

Fashion

Wide-open necklines or close-necked collars will emphasise your face.

Eva Mendes and Megan Fox were both gifted with the perfect oval-shaped faces .

(*) How to determine your facial shape:
1. Pull hair back and secure with pins or a headband so hair is completely off the face.
2. Have someone take a picture of you facing straight into the camera with your hairline showing.
3. Outline your face with a marker on the photo.
4. Now look at your face shape in the photo drawing and choose the shape that most closeley resembles your own.
