ABSTRACT
Facial beauty is perceived in the ‘‘eye of the beholder.’’ The ‘‘beholder’’ is influenced by many objective as well as subjective factors. The objective factors include the proportion of the eyes, lips, nose, facial shape, projection, and volume. The subjective factors include culture, society, media, photography, art and artists, movie stars, models, surgery and surgeons, as well as makeup. The animated face with certain highlights and lowlights of the face and how they are presented with warm or cold light, as well as the surrounding ambiance all contribute to facial beauty.
