The biology of attractive faces

Researchers have discovered two universal characteristics that contribute to the attractiveness of a woman’s face.

  • The amount of color contrast around the eyes and lips. Women naturally tend to have darker lips and skin around the eyes. So, our brains subconsciously note that as a sign of femininity. Lipstick and eye shadow are makeup staples because they enhance those features.
  • We also like symmetrical faces, even when we can’t perceive the symmetry. Makeup evens skin tone and contouring, eyeliner and lipliner also can make those features appear more symmetrical.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
