That way cosmetic surgeons can show that picture to patients and guide them to procedures to look more like that, and not like the current freak shows that people tend to pick on their own.

He demonstrated these proportions on the faces of models, and showed a sort of mask he had developed that outlines the most perfect proportions of various facial features, which he uses in his work. If you get a chance to see it, it’s quite fascinating in my opinion.

If you are averaging several faces together, your chances of having a symmetrical face increase significantly so maybe theres some truth to it.

What’s striking to me is how beautiful these faces all end up being. It seems the more we approach a perfect average the more we approach the common ideal of physical beauty. http://www.faceoftomorrow.com/
