Beauty is not always in the eye of the beholder

woman's visage Roget’s Thesaurus gives one meaning for “beauty” as “symmetry”. In scientific circles, facial symmetry has a positive influence on attractiveness ratings, and we are drawn to those who possess it.

Our face defines our identity, expresses our attitudes, opinions, and moods. Our face and hairstyle are nonverbal signatures of who, what, and “why” we are.

As we age, chins widen, lips become thinner and flatter, noses and ears become less delicate. The wide eyes of youth become smaller as eyelids droop, and brows drop and flatten. The net effect is a face responding to gravity and dropping downwards.

The desire for youthful good looks leads thousands to spend millions on beauty products and even surgery. Some opt for face-lifts, nasal refinements, eyelid lifts, collagen injections, liposuction, and cheek implants, but not everyone wants or can elect to have these procedures. Seeking a safer more natural path, they turn to expert hairstylists, colorists, make-up artists and image consultants to create the illusion of symmetrical proportion.

Is the quest for symmetry a noble one? Is facial attractiveness really based on symmetry? The research and articles are proof that it is.

Can the science of symmetry halt facial aging through the artistry of any salon professional? With the help of Visàge it can.
