Isbeautytruly in the eye of the beholder?
Not really, it seems.
“Being aware that these biases exist is an important step.”
Here’s what researchers have discovered.
As Tegmark alluded to, the"golden ratio"was discovered in Ancient Greece.
According to this Ancient Grecian formula, Amber Heard takes the cake.
Symmetry, as it turns out, is an important indicator of attractiveness.
He toldScience News for Students, “Symmetry looks normal to us.
And we then like it.”
Little further explained that people like “average” faces.
But again, this is about mathematics.
People findmathematicallyaverage faces attractive.
“Averageness includes all kinds of factors,” the psychologist explained.
“Such as the size of the features of your face and their arrangement.”
As it turns out, people also find “average” faces attractive whether ornotthose faces are symmetrical.
This was true whether the volunteer viewed a profileorhead-on photo.
Solomon and his team named Natalie Portman as the best match.
While she’d probably never want to fit acriminalcomposite, matching a beauty composite is pretty cool.
It comes down to a combination of features and spacing.
Yes, math again.
Let’s start with shape, shall we?
First thing’s first: the math.
Thus, the female face is, of course, one unit wide at the eyes.
The mouth is 0.81 units wide, and, overall, the face is 1.44 units long.
The face also features “regular, smooth jawline” with a chin measuring 0.21 units in length.
What does all of this mean?
Basically, the ideal female face is heart-shaped.
The more you know, right?
But it wasn’t just the spacing that made a difference forthe composite face in Chris Soloman’s study.
The female face had shapedandarched eyebrows.
That said, it is true that the furry caterpillars above your eyes are pretty magical beasts.
With a few tweaks and tweezes, eyebrows have somemajortransformative power perhaps more so than any other facial feature.
Yep, eyebrows can create an appearance of symmetry.
Super symmetrical eyes
Brown is the most common eye color by a landslide.
Brown also happens to be the color of the eyes in the ideal female face composite inSoloman’s study.
Each of the six shapes has its own unique characteristics.
Not sure if you have almond eyes?
The company further revealed that almond eyes are surprise, surprise “super symmetrical.”
A nose of 0.37 units long with bridge and base width of just 0.1 and 0.25 units, respectively.
Plastic surgeons have noted a similar infatuation with itty-bitty noses.
According to the experts, Natalie Portman’s is number one.
Next came Emma Stone’s and Nicole Kidman’s noses which are both small and slim.
Butwhythe love for little noses?
“But we’re not.
Big, small, crooked, straight embrace those noses, ladies.
In addition to Natalie Portman, the study provided examples of Scarlett Johansson and Emilia Clarke.
The doctors toldCBS Newsthat Scarlet Johansson had the most-requested lips of any celebrity.
Women also looked to Angelina Jolie and Christina Aguilera for their lip inspo, the surgeons revealed.
Full lips at least in American culture have been idealized for a while.
His nearly one million followers onInstagramwould likely agree.
Here’s everything that makes Gandy and the ideal male face so attractive.
All of these figures add up to mean that Mr.
Perfect has not a heart-shaped face, but one that is oval-shaped.
At least as far as hairstyles are concerned, oval-faced men likeRyan Goslinghave it easy.
Unlike the beauty ideal for women, the “ideal” male brows are neither shaped nor arched.
“Brows are really personal.
Brows really give you expression.
Brows can make you look strong or weak or powerful or not.
A brow will give you approachability,” Jennings toldHuffPost.
“If it’s too strong or severe, someone will pass you by.”
Oval is also notone of the six common eye shapes.
Instead, it’s more of a combination of round and almond.
And this wasn’t the first time Beckham wore makeup.
“David does steal my beauty products,” his wife, Victoria Beckham, toldElle.
“It doesn’t annoy me.
He looks so beautiful!”
That he does, Victoria.
Instead, “mid-length” and “straight” were the defining factors of the ideal face.
The study cited the two Davids Beckham and Ganty as the closest human comparisons.
from the year 2000 to 2016.
