Hello peachies, welcome back to dear peachie! Picture someone whom you think is attractive and  

imagine her skin, face, body and clothes. Chances are, what you picture is probably very  

different from this lady She was considered beautiful...  

two hundred years ago! Our perception of beauty  

keeps changing over time. What we deem as beautiful and attractive  

is largely influenced by the media today. Before the rise of social media, we constructed  

our myopic view of what makes a person attractive  by what we saw in magazines and movies.  

The role of traditional media evolved drastically  with the proliferation of social media.  

Celebrities who were once glamorised and  could only be admired from afar,  

are now chronicling their  lives on social media.  

So what makes someone beautiful? The truth is, even though beauty is  

defined largely by race, culture and era, there are some characteristics about physical  

beauty that people across ages and cultures  agree with, since the beginning of time.  

It is the golden ratio of facial aesthetics! The Golden Ratio is a theory which is  

used extensively to underlie our  perception of attractiveness,  

Or in other words to explain what  makes someone beautiful.  

The Italian Renaissance polymath,  Leonardo Da Vinci,  

used the Golden Ratio equation and realised  that the closer a face or object gets to  

this number? the higher the  

level of its perceived beauty. In fact, Leonardo is thought to have used the  

golden ratio when painting the Mona Lisa! Studies of the most beautiful women in the  

world have shown that they have countless  instances of this ratio in their faces.  

This proves symmetry to be a key  factor in perceived attractiveness,  

especially in female faces. It is surprising to know that  

human tend to perceive a face more aesthetically  appealing, when it features the Golden Ratio,  

because the human eye can process it faster? and that causes our brain to feel ‘pleased’!  

So in our video today, we’re taking a  thorough look at the Golden Ratio,  

and how we can apply this theory to level up our  makeup game to enhance our visuals better!  

This video will be divided  into several sections,  

so please refer to the time stamps  for the following parts.  

Let us begin this video with the question,  

What is the Golden Ratio? The Golden Ratio, is also referred  

to as the Divine Proportion. The beauty experts, such as cosmetic  

surgeons and makeup artists incorporate  the Golden Ratio into their work,  

using it as a tool to explain to clients who are  dissatisfied with their facial proportions,  

and how they may be brought  back into balance.  

It is the golden ruler that guides  us to the design of our face.  

There are several measurements used  to make this determination.  

First, the length and width  of the face are measured.  

Take the length and divide by the width, A visually balanced face is approximately 1.6  

times longer than its width. Values less than 1.6 means that you  

have a shorter face, whereas values more than 1.6  indicates that you have a longer face shape.  

Besides that, there are other measurements  taken at different regions to understand  

your facial proportions. In Chinese, these measurements  

are usually called “San Ting Wu Yan”. “San Ting” here means the three segments  

of your face, or we also call  it the horizontal third.  

The upper third is the area from your  hairline to the base of your eyebrow,  

The middle third region starts from the base  of the eyebrow to the bottom of your nose.  

Lastly, the lower third ranges from the bottom  of the nose, to the bottom of the chin.  

It is suggested that these 3  segments should be equidistant.  

The “unequal” distance of each of these  segments can produce a tremendous effect  

to your overall look! On the other hand, “Wu yan”  

literally means 5 eyes in chinese. So why is it named as 5 eyes?  

Other than dividing the human face  into 3 segments horizontally,  

It can also be divided into 5 regions  vertically, hence these regions are  

named as the Vertical fifths. Similar to the horizontal thirds,  

the distance for each segment in the  vertical fifth should be equal.  

Since the width of each vertical fifth  should equal to that of an eye,  

this explains why it is named  as the 5 eyes.  

It is fairly easy to check if your face  is close to the golden ratio,  

All you need to do is to take a photo  of yourself without any makeup on,  

Relax your face, and keep your head straight.  

You can then upload your picture  into any photo editing app,  

add horizontal and vertical straight lines at each  of these regions that we mentioned just now,  

With these steps, you can definitely get a  clearer view of your facial proportions,  

Therefore understanding the specific area  that you will need to focus in makeup  

helps to enhance your facial structure Or improve your personal style.  

According to the scientists, the balance of the  facial ratios and proportions can increase one’s  

perceived attractiveness, But do you know?  

How the imbalance of these ratios can  affect your overall impression?  

Making a small twitch with makeup to these regions  can totally influence your appearance,  

Therefore offering us more  styling possibilities!  

If you have been a loyal viewer of our channel,  

we bet that the term “Middle third  ratio” is no stranger to you.  

A shorter middle third ratio is related  to younger looking appearance.  

This is because a shorter middle third carries  the neotenous traits that retain the juvenile  

or childlike features well into adulthood. This characteristic is highly preferred by the  

current aesthetic ideal, especially in  east asian countries like China.  

However, some might not favour  this characteristic?  

Because it can make one’s features  appear more crowded,  

Causing the face to look wider instead. On the contrary, a longer middle third ratio  

adds the air of maturity and elegance  to our overall charisma.  

Wider upper third ratio exudes the  refreshing vibes, but sometimes it  

affects the appearance of our hairline too. Narrower upper third ratio gives out that  

down-to-earth and adorable air  that makes one look cute!  

Coming to the lower third, A longer lower third makes one  

appear more mature, sexy and smart! In contrast, people tend to look younger,  

cute or innocent looking when the  lower third ratio is shorter.  

in the vertical fifth, the region that  affect our overall appearance the most,  

Is the distance between the eyes. Closer eye distance brings your features  

closer to each other, hence channelling the sense  of maturity towards the overall impression.  

Alternatively, one can appear  younger with wide set eyes  

Nevertheless, wide eye distance causes our  features to be placed further apart,  

It creates the visual impression  of a wider face shape.  

With that being said, these standards stated in  the golden ratio are not carved into stone,  

It served as a benchmark towards  beauty in the historic days,  

But everyone is different, we are all born  unique, and that makes us attractive.  

By understanding the golden ratio theory, It helps us to understand  

our features better, You are free to follow the  

theory to enhance your facial structure through  bringing balance to your general appearance?  

Or breaking the “rules” to highlight your  unique features to create a distinctive  

style! ___  

Now you have known what the golden ratio  is, and how it affects your face,  

It is time for us to get to the part on how to  adjust the ratios of the horizontal thirds and  

vertical fifths to accentuate your beauty! Sit tight, and get a pen and notepad,  

Because we got a whole lot of tips to unpack! Let’s begin with the horizontal thirds,
