The female face

The female face

The female face is loosely speaking a more oval shape, with smooth and round lines, giving a soft and aesthetic impression. Full lips and eyes with lashes make it feminine. The nose can be smaller and if the cheekbones are accentuated we can add some fierceness. The female eyebrows are usually a good bit higher up than the male eyebrows, this opens and enlarges the whole eye area, the 50% rules still apply. On the next pages though I will explain what happens if we slightly shift those proportions.
