The Top 10 Uncommon Features For An Attractive Face

Summary

In this video, the team explores 10 lesser-known facial features that can significantly influence attractiveness, backed by scientific research. These include subtle traits like the dip from the zyon into the cheeks, the well-defined filtrum above the upper lip, and the prominence of the Cupid's bow. Other discussed features are the medial eyebrow position, cheek dimples, the dorsal of the nose, and the glabella (brow ridge). Attention is also given to mouth corners, the infraorbital area under the eyes, and eye contrast, revealing how small details can enhance or detract from overall facial beauty. The video provides insightful research findings on each feature's impact on attractiveness.

Takeaways

• 😀 Facial features like the eyes, jaw, and hair strongly contribute to beauty, but lesser-known features also play a significant role.
• 😀 A subtle dip from the zyon to the cheeks enhances cheekbone prominence and contributes to a more attractive face.
• 😀 A well-defined filtrum, the groove above the upper lip, affects attractiveness, with an ideal length of 12-15 mm.
• 😀 The Cupid's bow shape (the distinct peak in the upper lip) can signal youth, and its prominence affects attractiveness.
• 😀 A lower medial eyebrow position (inner corner) is considered more youthful and attractive, as it makes the eyes appear larger.
• 😀 Dimples, although rare, enhance facial expressions and convey youthfulness, contributing to perceived beauty.
• 😀 A straight, well-proportioned dorsal nose without bumps is more attractive, particularly in side profiles.
• 😀 A prominent brow ridge is an attractive feature in men, signaling dominance and masculinity.
• 😀 Upturned mouth corners (oral commissures) are considered more attractive, while downward corners can make a person look older or sad.
• 😀 The infraorbital area (under the eyes) plays a key role in attractiveness, with a smoother, brighter area being associated with youth.
• 😀 Eye contrast, particularly a bright sclera (white of the eye) and a dark limbal ring (iris edge), is an important trait for eye attractiveness.

Q & A

What is the purpose of the video described in the transcript?

The video aims to highlight lesser-known facial features that contribute to facial attractiveness, complementing a previous video that discussed the top 10 most important facial features. It offers scientific insights into how obscure facial traits can enhance or detract from beauty.

What is the Zyon, and how does its subtle dip influence facial attractiveness?

The Zyon is the outermost point of the zygomatic bone (cheekbone). A subtle dip from the Zyon into the cheek creates a play of shadows and highlights, accentuating the cheekbones. This enhances facial definition and can make the face appear more feminine in women and more angular in men.

What is the Filtrum, and why is it important for attractiveness?

The Filtrum is the groove above the upper lip. Its length and width are crucial for facial beauty, as an elongated Filtrum can make the lips appear thinner and contribute to an older appearance. The ideal Filtrum dimensions are between 10-11mm in width and 12-15mm in length.

How does the Cupid's bow contribute to facial beauty?

The Cupid's bow is the prominent peak in the center of the upper lip. A well-defined Cupid's bow is associated with youth and attractiveness, with some lip filler techniques used to enhance its shape, especially in aging individuals where it may flatten over time.

What is the importance of the medial brow position for attractiveness?

The medial brow position refers to the inner part of the eyebrows. A lower medial eyebrow position is generally more attractive, especially in younger individuals. Lower brows create an optical illusion that makes the eyes appear larger, while higher brows can make the eyes look smaller.

Why are cheek dimples considered attractive?

Cheek dimples are rare but highly desired facial features that can make a person appear more youthful and communicative. They are thought to enhance neoteny (youthful features), and their presence is often linked to facial expressiveness, making emotions more noticeable.

How does the dorsal of the nose impact attractiveness?

The dorsal, or the horizontal bridge of the nose, significantly affects attractiveness. A pronounced dorsal hump is generally perceived as less attractive, whereas a smoother, straight dorsal is considered more aesthetically pleasing. Reducing the dorsal hump through rhinoplasty can increase perceived youthfulness and approachability.

What role does the glabella (brow ridge) play in facial attractiveness?

The glabella, or brow ridge, is a prominent feature that adds to masculinity and dominance, especially in men. Its prominence is sexually dimorphic, meaning men tend to have more pronounced brow ridges than women, which signals higher testosterone levels and is associated with evolutionary traits.

Why are the corners of the mouth important for attractiveness?

The corners of the mouth, or oral commissures, impact facial expressions and attractiveness. Upturned mouth corners are considered more attractive and youthful, while downward-turned corners can make a person look older or sad, often associated with aging or poor development.

What is the significance of the infraorbital area (under the eyes) for facial attractiveness?

The infraorbital area, located below the eyes, plays a key role in facial youthfulness. Dark circles and hollowing in this area are associated with tiredness and aging. A smoother and brighter infraorbital area is considered more youthful and attractive, and various treatments like hyaluronic acid injections or concealer can help enhance this region.

What is eye contrast, and how does it affect facial attractiveness?

Eye contrast refers to the contrast between the sclera (white of the eyes) and the limbal ring (dark ring around the iris). High contrast is associated with youth and health, and it enhances the attractiveness of female faces. Eye contrast tends to decrease with age, which is why women often use makeup to highlight this feature.
