Nose pins have made a comeback into the fashion world for all the right reasons. Nose piercing has always been a part of Indian women’s style. This tradition was brought to India during the 16th century and has been in practice for decades. Although, in recent times, more than a tradition women wear nose pins as a style statement. Moreover, nose piercing is considered to be the second most popular after ear piercing. Nose studs, rings or hoops are available in different shapes and sizes to suit one’s face. However, not all nose pins look nice on every face. The nose-pierced look seems perfect when the right nose pin suits the right face shape.
Nose pin is one of the most adored accessories by Indian women. It is a piece of jewellery that women can carry at every occasion, ceremony or even in daily life. Among the variety of nose pin styles, choosing the right one according to your face shape and structure can make you look effortlessly glamorous, however, the wrong one may leave you feeling like an extra in a costume drama. Confused about which nose pin would suit your face shape? Here’s the guide for you.
Guide To Select Nose Pin As Per Face Shape
Round Face
If your face has soft lines and a round chin, you can get your nose pierced for some added contrast. Choose angular studs, geometric studs or thin vertical bars to create an illusion of length. Moreover, a small dainty hoop can also amp up your look, but make sure the nose hoop is placed higher up on the nostril to counteract your features.
Oval Face
This face is perfect for all nose pin styles as they add symmetry to your face. Be it small, traditional studs or statement spetum rings, all nose pins enhance the overall look of the face. A petite diamond or pearl stud will make your over face get defined and structured.
Heart-Shaped Face
Heart-shaped faces having wider foreheads and slim chins need a nose pin that softens the angles. Choose rounded studs or dainty hoops that don’t overpower the look and keep it subtle. Opt for a floral or swirl design that provides a playful touch without drawing the attention away from you. Do not wear anything too bulky as it may upset the symmetry of the face.

Square Face
A square jawline provides a sharp edge of the face, thus you should choose a nose pin that adds a touch of softness to it. Choose round designs, tiny hoops, and curved studs that will look very pretty on a square face. You can also opt for statement jewellery like a streamlined nose ring rather than a sharp one to prevent the square-faced edginess.
Diamond Face
With high cheekbones and a small forehead and chin, the nose pin for a diamond-shaped face should balance these features without emphasising them. The tiny hoops of dainty studs are the go-to options that will make you look simple as well as classy.
