How to choose earrings for your face shape | My earring collection | Justine Leconte

[@justineleconte]

Hi everyone! Today we're talking about face shapes again :-) On top of those tips on earring shapes / proportions, you can watch further videos on color and metal choices for your undertone (links in the description). And feel free to add your questions below!

[@Radiologytutor]

Justine Leconte officiel been learning huge about shapes and proportions from you. Love you darling:)

[@centroculturallacupula8291]

Thank you for yet another very informative video! Would you consider talking about these two topics in the future : how to style and care for eyebrows, and how to care for your lips at all ages (specially mid thirties) ? Thank you again !

[@foreveragox]

Justine Leconte officiel I've been waiting so long for this video. Thank you Justine! Lovely work as always and very knowledgeable

[@reckless4ever476]

I have fair pink cool skin tone with red based brown eyes and brown hair..... what color gems do you recommend for earrings? Thank you justene

[@carolying4340]

Justine Leconte officiel Which earrings should heart shape faces avoid?

[@denisescull4227]

I have so many "Aha" moments while watching your videos! Thank you Justine!

[@kurapikakurta3863]

When all of the earrings Justin wore looks good on her.

[@r.i.t.i.k.a]

Yeah.. She is a long oval.. and her bangs already cancel out the longness. Idk if "longness" is a legit word 😅

[@Butterflybleu14]

One of my favourite sounds every week is "Hi everyone, it's Justine..." Joy! I know I'm in for a visual, information & sound treat!! These videos are just marvellous for enlightenment, understanding & great advice. Please don't ever stop making them - they are just fabulous. 😘😘

[@BlairWaldorf2013]

I love that you did a video on earrings, it's one of the few pieces of jewelry I wear because they're cute and can be outspoken but still appropriate. I'm a silver girl and love turquoise piece since I'm black and that color really pops on our skin tone so close to the face. I always like structured earrings that are geometric because I have natural hair that goes out so it adds structure to the face. I'm a round diamond shape face so I don't like super round or long it looks out of proportion.

[@justineleconte]

you know your face and proportions very well, already, well done :-)

[@LooBass]

I love coming home from work on Wednesday evenings, because a new "Justine video" is waiting for me! :) as for today's topic, I am a long oval and have tried numerous types of earrings throughout years. And I have noticed that hoop earrings are perfect (even small ones, as long as the shape is totally round, not elipse shape). Other than hoops, in my opinion long ovals are good with "ball shaped earrings" (but they have to be short and close to ears) and "teardrop shaped earrings" (again, close to ears). Also, in the past I used to have super long hair like Justine and could not find long earrings flattering on me... until I cut my hair very short (like Anne Hathaway type haircut), and now the elongated earrings look very flattering on me and everybody compliments when I wear them. So I can reccommend to all the long oval face ladies out there :) cheers and take care!

[@V.Hansen.]

I don't even like fashion but I like listening to you. You talk about it in such an intelligent way.

[@xXChocoxStrawberriXx]

Justiiine you look stunning

[@justineleconte]

+Moka Mori glad you liked it!!

[@YamIa3gypsy]

In the past I have chosen earrings to wear based upon my outfit only. Now I will also consider my hair style which I noticed the difference in the various shots and face shape. Great info as always Justine.

[@baileyondricek5041]

Justine, I love your videos and think they're extremely smart. I've recently been trying to identify my style and really cull my wardrobe. I love your capsule series and video about finding your style. Just a thought for future video/series: I would love to see more videos talking about certain "schools of style" i.e. Which designers focus on feminine, modern, or other styles for women. Really being able to label what specific styles are called and what fabrics and shapes go with those style types. Just some thoughts! Thank you for the wonderful videos! ❤️

[@alexandrastuckert3018]

Bailey Ondricek that would be really awesome :)

[@ayepakwan]

Thank you for giving such specific advice on wearing earrings, it's something I didn't really think about before. I love your videos!

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

I think neck length is important too, I am kind of self conscious about this because I have a very short neck. I can wear quite chunky dangling earrings but not super long or they brush my shoulders and look silly! 😅 I really envy women with long elegant necks. Thanks for your videos, they are super helpful! I am learning a lot about how to work with what I have 😊

[@connie5768]

I really like this darker makeup on you. The lipstick and your eyebrows are really lovely on you--the seem to bring out the color of your eyes. Thanks for the earring tips. I've never liked long earrings on myself, and now I know why!

[@vibhab191]

[@bridgetn2575]

I really appreciated this video as I had never thought about how my face shape affected the look of my earrings. I have a difficult time finding earrings that work for me because of my poofy earlobes, which seem to swallow any smaller earrings (especially studs!), and my curly hair, which seems to make earrings nonexistent. That said, I now have better info on what to look for. Thanks!!

[@patriciaburke2401]

You are the most knowledgeable and wonderful stylist I have found. Your videos are so helpful, insightful & to the point. Just what we need! Thanks, again for sharing. Your beautiful,happy, smile brightens my day.

[@laurajones4088]

Great video, Justine. I make jewelry and this video has inspired me to create earrings to complement the different face shapes. Thanks for sharing such useful content in all of your videos.

[@pallavimvutharkar9460]

Hi Justine! It was really a helpful video. But being a heart-faced, I've also observed that rings or hoops (like the ones you mentioned for square face) also really give a good look to my face. I've been using them after trying almost all the types of earrings. I don't know if it's only for me, but I think rings can also be good for heart face.

[@nancy3266]

The errings "for the heart shaped face" looked fabulous on you ! Great video.

[@lienebarbara]

3:37 earring looks so amazing on you!!! ♡ Really flattering!

[@lclarndt]

I have a capsule wardrobe and rely heavily on my accessories to keep my look varied. These are great tips for earrings, I've never really thought about it before!

[@Buwan173]

Thank you so much for this very informative video. Earrings are my absolute favorite accessory!

[@number1spritefan]

i always loved earrings, and now i know why. my face shape (diamond) is pretty flexible when i wear any kind of earrings, and now i know why!

[@lidiagospodinova1344]

Merci, Justine. My face shape is heart so I usually wear long earrings. It's my instinct to do that. Thank you so much for your useful video.

[@zahraabdullatif4333]

You look exceptionally stunning this video. I love your content, it's so interesting and educational. I really hope you keep bringing us more of your wisdom !

[@justineleconte]

thanks!!

[@fatemesadattabatabaei3429]

This was so awesome, you explain everything in a smart way because you're really smart, LOVE YOU JUSTINE!

[@rachelgray3899]

I found this video so helpful. I have a pear shaped face and never thought to try wearing ear cuffs. Now I have so many options :D Lots of love from South Africa

[@martas6317]

Hi Justine! I have an oval face and now have long dark hair, but the thing about earrings is that, because I wear glasses (and I've always felt better with thick frame ones) I don't usually like to see myself with earrings as I feel it looks like too much around my face. When I had a very short pixie cut though, I didn't mind using both, but still very discreet or minimalist earrings (even if long ones). When I was a teen, I remember wearing mismatched earrings all the time (like one tiny and one long - usually a feather...I know, so boho!). Thank you for sharing these tips :)

[@justineleconte]

oh, feathers is one kind I don't have at all (note to self... hehehe ;-)

[@amelianac6498]

I've just recently discovered your channel and am thrilled! The information, the presentation, your charming wit and smile!

[@Faith276]

Thank you for making this video! I love earrings, and I always wonder if bigger ones will suit me. Thank you for making me feel a bit more confident about doing so. :D (I have a diamond shaped face)

[@justineleconte]

my God, YES! Go for big ones! ;-)

[@brandywinelewis]

Justine, you come up with some of the most creative and helpful content! Thank you so much 💜 super round face here and I never even really wear earrings because the ones I like always make me look awkward, now I know why! 😂

[@justineleconte]

+just bran glad it helped! 😁

[@pearlstar28]

Justine, love all your intelligent and informative videos. You are a classic beauty!

[@tybeerudd2554]

Your channel as changed my life I’ve walked around a mess and didn’t even know it until now lol

[@kob7890]

Your eyes look beautiful w/ that background! Thank you for this instruction!

[@chrysalis33]

Your earrings collection is gorgeous! You should add gemstone earrings if you don't have them already! Emerald would look stunning on you! One of the biggest reasons I'm sad about having brown eyes is that emeralds or sapphires won't look as stunning on me, sobs...

[@Tina06019]

Maybe you could try peridot, a clear light green semi-precious stone? I have also found that a medium blue clear blue topaz (also not too expensive) looks very good with my very dark green eyes. I would NEVER turn down a gift of real emeralds or sapphires (are you KIDDING me?!), but these two lighter-colored semi-precious stones are actually more flattering. My irises are such a dark green that in low light, they look (basically) just dark So maybe these stones will look good with your brown eyes, as well.

[@chrysalis33]

That's a great suggestion, thank you! Thus far, I've only considered rubies, because if I can't have green eyes, I can at leas wear red lipsticks, lmao. But yeah, peridot is quite lovely, I'll keep an eye out for it. Here's to receiving gifts of emerald- and/or sapphire- and/or ruby-encrusted jewels! :) (Also, your eyes sound lovely! Not to be rude, but they sound exactly like my dog's: stunning and they make people wonder.)

[@Tina06019]

That's very kind of you to say - certainly no offense taken (I am a dog-lover)! I also find that amethyst, another inexpensive semiprecious stone, is very flattering. It may be the lighter, clearer color that is a pleasing contrast to the darkness of my irises. I usually try to get ones with a color clear enough, and an open setting, so that the light will come through them.

[@chrysalis33]

Ohh, you make a good point about the open setting! :)

[@vanessaglenda]

I love earrings and cannot go without them; I tend to purchase statement pieces. My problem is that I can’t seem to wear necklaces with them at all. Or is that just me? How do I match my earrings to other pieces without looking too “matchy matchy”/overkill? Ps love your vertical triangle earrings. Especially the one on the left! I will hunt for something similar :)

[@angelabender8132]

I only wear necklaces No earnings Sometimes we have to choose what is best for us

[@yeetmetothemoon8434]

I tend to match earring and necklaces by only the color, or a common theme or look. If they are too similar, I don't do it. Or I only wear the chain without the pendant on it. Hope that might help :) I'm not a pro, but I like my own style

[@saradathakur]

Even I don't wear any necklace....... I do prefer long and wide earrings

[@simplecooking1608]

You do it so well!Good job.I learned so much. Thank you from Nepal

[@mara3842]

I just love your videos on what works best for what body/face shape! Keep them coming!

[@curlgirl4265]

Justine, I really enjoy watching your videos! I am learning so much and you always peak my interest about things I've never considered before, such as this video. I love that they are short and to the point too. Thank you!

[@hannazimmermann4489]

I always watch your style advise before jobinterviews. This time, earings, bracelets and lipstick colours. You really have the best content

[@Ihridyaahni]

AHA! so many "aha" moments within this video. Ive always been a stud fan, particularly pearls, since they look quite elegant but i do not have the guts to wear something that is out of my comfort zone. I think i am, more or less, in between a round and a square shape. Im still figuring it out. XD Thank you for sharing these tips! Love it!

[@susansvintagelifebeautyand5568]

Thank you Justine for another informative video! I love all jewelry and it is nice to know how it can improve my appearance!

[@pilotrtc]

That lip color on you looks to me to be the most perfect "lips but better" color on your beautiful face. Oh, and I LOVE your videos!

[@julianawalsh4364]

Thank you Justine I love your videos. Time to gift some earrings away and purchase for my face shape.

[@patriciai.keller351]

Hi, Justine, thank you for such a brief and precise, but useful indeed video! Now we will experiment with what we have in the jewelry box, haha! Xoxoxo!

[@mellimoon77]

Oh so nooooow I understand why big earrings look good on me ! I'm a diamond.. :-) merci Justine, génial comme toujours .. !

[@norienne]

Your videos are so wonderful, thank you! The timing here is great because I just pulled out my long skeleton earrings for Halloween and was just noticing how much they visually slim my face and neck (I have a round face). I guess that observation and this video mean I need to go buy more long earrings!

[@justineleconte]

happy shopping ;-)

[@curiousone6435]

Justine, I love your videos as always (thanks for this one, too!). I have to disagree on some of your recommendations for square faces. I have a square face. Personally, I feel that larger, round hoops just make my face look wider -- which is a way of emphasizing the jaw. I either wear very long teardrop-, diamond- or triangle shaped statement earrings (typically about 2" in length), the dangle style you recommended, OR simple studs --- nothing else. The studs are safe and don't emphasize anything you don't want to highlight, but the longer, statement earrings (I feel) actually lengthen my face in an elegant way. Another factor is how the earrings hang... a lot of wider, circular hoops are stiff and don't offer much movement. The trick for longer earrings and square faces, IMO, is to find an earring that's fastened in a way to provide a little more movement so that you don't have any fixed angle.

[@justineleconte]

+Rencie Woolsey great thoughts - thanks for sharing them 😉

[@Tina06019]

Rencie Woolsey , I agree. I have a square face and I avoid hoops, especially large hoops. I stopped wearing them because I was tired of always catching something in them (a finger, my hair, a hairbrush, etc., etc.)....but quickly realized that they actually were not as flattering as other styles. I don't wear studs, either, but that's because mostly I dislike being poked in the side of my head with the back of the stud (or perhaps because those were the only earrings authorized for wear with my military uniform office and dress uniforms, and I got tired of them). I find medium-sized semi-precious stones dangling right below my earlobe on looped ear-wires or lever-backs most flattering. You can buy little plastic "grippers" over the ear wires to make them more secure.

This is such an interesting video - I've never thought about choosing earrings to match my face shape before.

[@Sara-ex5qb]

How about the neck length ? dose it affect the style of the earrings that we should wear ?

[@blueshoes5145]

Defenatly. But it's so underrated..people don't realise it.

[@cristianemaia4101]

So nice, so helpful. As always, a pleasure to watch your video! Thanks, Justine.

[@Loribyn]

Justine, you're amazing! I wouldn't have thought I could learn anything about style/beauty at my age (especially on myself!) ... but I was wrong. Thank you! Between this video, and your sun-glasses-to-face-shape video, I've learned (confirmed?) something I've long suspected but could never _quite_ tell... My face is an oval. I thought it was round, but it's not ... it's just a large-proportioned, rather muscular, bit chubby, oval -- but definitely an oval. I realise this because, apart from my facial measurements (a good two inches longer than it is wide), I _can_ wear any shaped earrings or sun-glasses (for me the critical thing has always been _scale_ not shape -- exactly as you'd expect!); and I can wear just about any hairstyle too, as long as it's one that flatters a big face (while the typical round-face recommendations are actually not flattering at all. Trust me, I've tried 'em all! Only to look bloody awful until it grows out; and I've always returned to very long - like yours - and usually centre-parted; taking my part very slightly to my right when I feel like something different; or going with my natural lack of a part, and putting it back with sunglasses [which apart from a simple, basic, low pony-tail, is actually my favourite, most flattering hairstyle of all]). I realise now that the sheer size of my face, combined with a bit of excess body-fat, was throwing me off (combined with the 'expert assessment' of an early hairdresser -- who got it wrong, She too saw my then-chubby cheeks, and that was all she could see). I'm not all that over-fat in truth, but underneath it I am a VERY large-framed, muscular woman -- so of course my face is too! How truly stupid of me not to have taken my frame and musculature into account!

[@TheMayonaise23]

You saved me from commiting a big mistake: piercing my ear to wear earcuffs.. I have big ears and my face is heart-shapped! LoL can you imagine how my chin would look even longer and thinner, I would look like the E.T!

[@BelMegloub]

Wow. You look absolutely stunning in this video! Also, thank you for your great tips and explanations. I have become quite addicted to your channel. Have a good day!

Great video as always. Thank you. I have the same face shape like you but I am wearing glasses. My fave earrings are stud earrings because I don´t have to think if earrings, face shape and glasses match together. :-) Have a nice day.

[@justineleconte]

I have oval but tbh i wish i had a heart. I find them so feminine and gorgeous. My face is so skinny to me

[@citerea]

This is the second video I see you made about face shapes and as I'm an oval it wasn't very useful hahaha (not complaining or anything) but it was very entertaining! Will see the one about sunglasses now

[@biba3025]

Honestly, this makes sense. How? Some earrings ive seen on certain face shape u mentioned really complimented that person's look of her face, more than other earrings. Which makes even other people say "wow those earrings really look great ON YOU." Luckly im number 1, i can go with any shape. Even if this made no sense, u r french 👡 So it has to make sense 😂 thank you for the video!

[@oliviamason5814]

Well, you addressed face shapes, but what about the neck? Does width and length matter in earring choice?

[@leahfrishling7088]

I'm sure it does and the night of the person too

[@NevitaSahanerdgirl]

yes!! Earrings are my FAV accessory 😚😚

[@cbpd89]

I had a jewelry seller do something brilliant. I had picked out a pair and he had me put one of them on, and he grabbed a different earring off the wall and put it on me and then held up a mirror. Oh my goodness! The ones he grabbed looked so much more elegant and absolutely flattered my face and made my neck look long and graceful! I didn't even hesitate to drop the extra 10 euro to buy the pair he picked out. Sure, he did it partly to upsell me, but now I have earrings I love instead of just like, so I don't even care.

[@supermariotoad6519]

[@evevaldez7416]

Thank you again Justine, you are a delight!

[@wrecklisseve]

Hi Justine -- this is a great video on a topic I have not seen before. Could you also address what earrings to wear if you need glasses? I feel limited to stud earrings with my glasses as earrings with movement plus glasses feel like there is "too much going on" around my face. I look forward to your suggestions and guidance. Thanks!

[@maureenwebster9599]

Love your videos Justine. Im am good with color and proportion.... well better then some. Makes a great refresher course .I love to hear about all of this and it makes it So very easy to send to friends . That way I dont sound like a the bad guy. So they eill stop wearing the worst options !

[@natasadamjanovic6849]

Thank you Justine !! By the way that brown/ burnt red colour top looks stunning on you, way better than black, or off white, in my opinion. You look fresh and happy. Are you sure you are not a fall colour?

[@berlineczka]

I have a round face and a collection of some 100 pairs of earings. I must admit that usually square earlings are not the best choice. They are too boxy, and a round face is too short for that. Especially if your chin is short this will look bad. They are also usually too contrasting and paradoxically underline the roundness of the face. What works best for me (round, soft face with a small chin - think "baby face") is: 1) Big dangling earlings. Especially the ones made of many little nacre (mother of pearl) circles joint in a diamont or triangle shape. Also long earings made of several smaller circles one under the other are great. 2) Prolonged rectangle (e.g. 1cm x 5cm). Fixes the problem with a square or a boxy earing. 3) Any "chandelier" type earings (e.g. Indian or Middle East type) 4) Long, thin sticks or 'eels' (just like you suggested) 5) Triangles, diamond shapes, especially big ones 6) Unespectedly, big round flat circles made of nacre. The secret is to have lots of colors and/or shapes on it to break the roundness - and they have to be 'filled in' (a sphere, not a circle). 7) Studs if they are not round. No sweet little pearls for me. Flat studs are great (I have a few with owls painted on them that I love), rose shape (I have a few colours), and classic angular stones (e.g. diamonds).

[@annakwietniak5244]

Great video! Very informative! Thx! What about earings and glasses? I wear glasses all the time and somehow I think big earings would be too much. What's your opinion?

[@justineleconte]

+Anna Kwietniak I think the earrings should still match the face shape. If you feel, it's too much, go for thinner or less colorful earrings but keep the length you would wear without glasses on...

[@SeasonswithShriya]

Justine thanks alot your videos helped me so much👍❤️

[@kajarace4538]

I find that haircut style affects so much the style of earrings. When I had a pixie cut, it suppose to be the perfect time to wear bold earrings but I somehow didn't like most of them on me (hoops and round earrings) but now that i have short bob i realized those shapes actually work so much better so I'm wearing them again as well. It's strange but different haircuts, athough all can suit you just great, change the shape of your face so much...

[@gorejs8396]

Merci, Justine! Diving into my jewelry box now.

[@heldar2629]

I have a diamond pearish face shape and I always go for big colorful earrings, from metallic and angular, to flowers, to animals.

[@charmithacker6972]

Can you advice on choosing earring based upon ear shape? Yes ear shape.. I have forward facing ears and oval shape..anything I wear highlights the odd shape of my ear. And some of my friends have ears that are hardly visible from front angle.. I think it would be an interesting to see some advice here

[@mariahcooke5157]
