Geometry of Human Beauty

Geometry of Human Beauty

Your overall beauty is the sum of internal and external beauty. Of course, we all place different amounts of emphasis on the importance and value of interanal and external beauty. Internal beauty encompasses warmth, heart, kindness, generosity, humor, intelligence, empathy, loyalty, wit among other traits. But what about external beauty? So let's delve into this just a little bit.

Christy Turlington [Burns] is an icon of virtually perfect external beauty. This basically boils down to the geometry of her face. Christy has a long oval face that is almost perfectly divided in thirds. She has a great forehead and wide-set eyes and high cheekbones, as well as full, wide lips and a distinct jaw line.

Beauty can be explained by the angles, contours, curves and proportions of the face that work in harmony to create the concept of beauty. If a man or woman’s face is in good proportion, we are more likely to notice it and perceive it as beautiful.

If you are wondering whether your own face has the right proportions then let's resolve that mystery. First determine the "thirds" of your face. The face can be divided into three sections by drawing horizontal lines through the forehead hairline, the brow, the base of the nose and the lower margin of the chin. For the ideal face, the three sections of face are equal. If your three sections of the face are equal, then congratulations. You are more likely to be perceived by others as being beautiful.
