While we are changing the shape of the jaw, we also want to minimize the chin ever so slightly. This is something that is extremely important in commercial photography because we want the face to be inviting and warm. By softening the jaw and bringing it in line with the face anatomy mask we instantly get a more feminine and friendly face. This face shape is good for portraying a strong and dominant personality but it can also be interpreted as mean and angry. Our model has a very wide jaw giving her a rectangular face. This is where we see the biggest difference between our model and the face anatomy mask. Let's break it down, point by point, on the areas of focus. Not too bad actually, but there is clearly room for improvement. Let's get started! This is the original image we will be working with.Īs you can see, our model has striking features, but how do they stack up to the "perfect" face anatomy? With this mask we can begin to understand face anatomy and make focused changes that will actually benefit our images. This can easily lead to unrealistic results that don't make the face any more pleasing then before we started. Many people will simply go ahead and slim the face without any regard for proportion. The face anatomy mask provided here can serve as a guideline to help you visualize the changes you need to make with the liquify tool in order to achieve a pleasing result. Keep your eye out for the very interesting tidbits about the golden ratio's in face structure, which as some of you may know, also apply to photography in general: So What Can We Do With This Mask? I won't get into all the nitty gritty here, because I want to keep this article somewhat concise, but if you follow the link I provide here you can read all about how this face anatomy was determined to be the "one". Makes it seem a little cold and robotic doesn't it? However, our brains really do like order and proportions, so it would make complete sense that a face anatomy which conforms to our ideas of order and good proportions would be deemed as "beautiful". Everything from the proportion of the lips to the distance between the eyes has been precisely calculated. Well according to many experts, this is it:Īfter many years of research and studies, some facial experts have determined this mask to represent what our brains deem as "beautiful". I only hope to show you the direction this photo could take. Also, keep in mind, that while I did do some minor skin correction and color adjustments, this is far from a retouched photo. But because this image would have been discarded, it serves our purpose quite well. It is a 100% crop from a much larger image and it was just a lighting test, so the quality ain't the greatest. The image I have chosen to work with here is from a recent shoot. The only element she was marked down for was her eyebrows which achieved an average score of 88%," De Silva told a news daily.Ĭelebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Amber Heard and Robert Downey Jr have earlier been named as the most beautiful people in the world by the same mapping technique in the past.In this article, I want to explore with you what some experts deem to be the "perfect" face anatomy, and how we can take a regular face that doesn't exactly conform to this standard and turn it into one that does using Photoshop's liquify tool. Jodie also had the highest score for her nose width and length and she was near the top for the shape of her lips and the position of her eyes. She had the highest overall reading for the positioning of her nose and lips, with a score of 98.7%, which is only 1.3% away from being the perfect shape. "Jodie Comer was the clear winner when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection. Dr De Silva has been using the technique at the Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic And Plastic Surgery in London. The list is compiled using the latest computerised mapping techniques by Harley Street facial cosmetic surgeon Dr Julian De Silva. "Euphoria' star Zendaya, came in second with 94.37%, while model Bella Hadid was third with 94.35%. Singer Beyonce came in fourth with a face mapping of 92.44%." The premise is that the closer the ratios of a face or body are to the number 1.618 (Phi), the more beautiful they become. Golden Ratio is a mathematical equation first devised by the Greeks in an attempt to measure beauty. The 'Killing Eve' star's features have been found to be 94.52% accurate to the Golden Ratio of Beauty - also known as Phi - an ancient Greek method of measuring proportioned attributes of a face.Īccording to reports, Comer's eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin and jaw and facial shape measure close to the Golden Ratio. Move over Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez and co, science has declared actress Jodie Comer as the most beautiful woman in the world.
