3 Desirable Facial Features

Baby-faced & Facial Neoteny

Physical attraction is a key component for both genders. If an alien zoologist were to study humans alongside all the other animals on Earth, they’d probably find us to be pretty strange. We’re one of the only creatures to care highly about a female partner’s attractiveness. This is quite paradoxical because sexual selection impacts males more intensely than females. (Jones, Doug. (1995). Sexual Selection, Physical Attractiveness, and Facial Neoteny: Cross-cultural Evidence and Implications.) this study hypothesizes that we care about female attractiveness or more specifically because we live longer and display more age-related cues. If you're going to choose someone for 50 years, you want to choose someone that indicates that they're going to age well.

Well-kept skin

Well-kept skin is taken as a ‘perceived health trait’ (Grammar and Thornhill 1994) although whether it’s a good indicator of actual physical health, remains to be tested. In one 2002 experiment by Jones Et al [a] different patches of male skin were shown to female participants, with each patch varying by complexion, tone, evenness and blemishes to find a correlation for attractiveness. Likewise, a full-face morph was created with deliberately adjusted skin tones, with the paler, uneven skin on the right being found

to be unhealthier than that of the left. Healthier looking skin did significantly correlate with attractiveness.

Cheekbones

cheekbones are a very desirable trait in modeling as it makes you look gaunter. The higher and more prominent your cheek bones the hollower your cheeks become and more importantly your ogee curve becomes more defined. In modeling, the trend of sickly-looking men and women is as strong as ever regardless of what body positivity would have you believe. Prominent cheekbones help with the appearance of looking like a lifeless clothing hangar.

You can tell if you have high cheekbones by looking at how long your ogee curve is, the length of the curve should be more than half the length of the mid-face.

Higher cheekbones should be just under the eyes while low cheekbones are closer to the nose. There's demand for both types but there is a reason why the top paid models all have high cheekbones. In a 2014 experiment, researchers found that wider more prominent cheekbones were determined to be more dominant in a fraction of a second upon seeing them.
