This results in a smaller gap between the eyes and eyebrows, a characteristic deemed masculine and more attractive. This preference is further […]
Summary Research reveals the importance of lip proportions and appearance in facial attractiveness and the perception of dominance. Kar et al. (2018) highlighted that the ideal ratio between the upper and lower lip height in young Caucasians is 1:1.6. Various studies have found that men with thin lips are perceived as more dominant and attractive, […]
Summary Three studies highlight the perceived attractiveness and masculinity linked to a smaller nose width in men. Ferruccio Tersello’s research at George Eastman Dental Hospital, conducted on 50 Italian models, determined that a nose width smaller than 1/4 of the facial width contributes to facial beauty. Similarly, Doug Jones from the University of Michigan found […]
Summary A smaller bi-gonial width is considered a feminine feature, while a larger one is a masculine one. Two studies, one by Lakhiani and Somenek (2019) and another by Becking et al. (2007), explain the differences between male and female jaw structures, emphasizing bi-gonial width, the distance between the jaw corners. Men’s jaws are typically […]
Summary A smaller ratio of Bi-Gonional-Width to Bi-Zygomatic-Width is considered a feminine feature, while a larger ratio is a masculine one. The research discusses the role of bi-gonial width (jaw width) and bi-zygomatic width (cheekbone width) in defining gender-specific facial features, focusing on the differences between male and female facial structures. A slender lower face, […]

A study suggested that the growth rates of different parts of the face vary as children develop into adults, with distinct patterns observed in boys and girls. Women’s faces are often associated […]
Summary A smaller Nose-Width is looked at as a feminine feature, while a wider one is a masculine one. Koehler et al.’s (2004) study suggests that a smaller nose width is considered a feminine trait due to the influence of sex hormones on facial development. Testosterone, typically higher in males, promotes the growth of the lower […]
Summary A larger ratio of Bi-Zygomatic-Width to Face-Height is considered a feminine feature, while a smaller ratio is a masculine one. Weston et al.’s (2007) study indicates that as children mature into adults, their facial structure changes; faces become longer and narrower, but these alterations vary between genders, especially post puberty. Boys develop wider faces, […]

(2018) found that women’s upper lip area is dominated by the fuller, colored part, making […]
