THE SCIENCE BEHIND BEAUTY & HOW TO ACHIEVE IT (Part I)

.



We may sing with our hearts to Lady Gaga’s BORN THIS WAY, but it doesn’t mean there are still some of us out there who doesn’t want to change something about them.


Researchers investigated and found out what makes a perfect face. They found that certain traits are universally considered desirable.



And I’ve got “almost” full-proof ways to achieve them!


Symmetry

The symmetry of the face is one of the best indicators of attractiveness. When one side of a face is a mirror image of the other, a beautiful face is born.




GO GET IT!
The science of aesthetic surgery comes in when talking about SYMMETRY, such as facial implants, injecting, and sculpting. Asymmetrical haircuts which can disguise an uneven face are also very imminent.

Full Lips
High estrogen levels in post-pubescent women make lips fuller. As we age and hormone levels decrease, our lips tend to lose their color and plumpness. With the advent of unusually fat lips appearing lately on the big screen, it’s no wonder many women are striving for voluminous lips.





GO GET IT!
There are always tips and tricks to achieve fuller looking lips without going under the knife. Take note to stick with glossy lipstick because this aids the illusion of plumpness. In terms of Cosmetic procedures, what they do is transfer fat or filler into the lips to boost their size.

Small Nose
Women with small features or “baby faces” are often considered more attractive because they appear more youthful, according to research completed at Universities of Regensburg and Rostock in Germany.




GO GET IT!
Sadly there’s not much that can be done to downsize the appearance of a larger nose, unless you opt for surgery. But you can always turn to complicated makeup work like creating a shade on the nose to make it look smaller. You can also consider parting your hair on the side instead of down the middle to gain the illusion of a smaller nose.

Curvy Eyebrows
Evenly balanced eyebrows add symmetry to your face. Shapely, arched eyebrows also help define your eyes.




GO GET IT!
Nowadays, you can easily have your brows tattooed. That means you can have both semi-permanent or permanent brow color and shape. But that would mean going into an expensive cosmetic clinic. For an easier way to alter the shape of your brows, waxing or plucking is the way to go.

Clear Skin
It’s no secret that skin that glows and is wrinkle and blemish free is most desirable and youthful. A 2006 study in the journal “Evolution and Human Behavior” found that skin tone and evenness was a predictor of facial attractiveness.




GO GET IT!
Keep skin moisturized and protect it from the harmful rays of the sun. Procedures like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and pulse light therapy can help skin that is already damaged. Treatments can be customized to how badly the skin is already damaged.
