For centuries people have been trying to understand aspects of a person's character simply by observing his face. The ancient Chinese believed that the face is a reflection of our inner world…
In medieval Europe, beauty was considered synonymous with virtue and ugliness as a sign of evil. But even more recently, phrenology, the study of the shape of the skull, has often been used to "determine" the guilt of crime suspects.
Although these "advanced" ideas do not seem to be verified by modern studies, there is still the perception that certain aspects of the face may allow us to form a first view of others. Although there are countless points of a person that can be analyzed, let us focus on the most basic of them.
Facial shape
Round: People with a round face are considered emotional, sensitive and affectionate. They have strong sexual fantasies and enjoy stable and long-term relationships.
Long and narrow: Those who have a long and narrow face are rather practical, methodical and tend to get tired easily. They are more likely to be muscular or athletic, which for some means narcissism, which can create problems in relationships.
Square: A square face is associated with fire and can mean that the person who has this face shape is aggressive, ambitious and authoritarian, while having an absolute and detailed mind and great determination.
Triangular: These face shapes are traditionally associated with a slim body type and mental character. The Chinese consider this face shape indicative of creativity and sensitivity but also of fiery temperament.
Forehead
The wide forehead is supposed to be a sign of intelligence and practicality but it also means that the person in front of you has imagination and many ideas. If a person has a flat forehead, it shows that he is realistic, logical and expressed in actions. When one has an "too big" front, one is rather dreamy and a person who needs a solid action plan to satisfy his ambitions.
Eyes
They say that the eyes are "the mirror of the soul". The shape of the eye can help you understand several things.
The big eyes that glow are "cleaner" than the small, sparkling eyes that bring out a nervous temperament. Irregularly shaped eyes show a person who looks at things from different angles and often faces problems in a subversive way, thanks to his ingenuity.
Upturned eyes show an opportunist and a person who knows how to get what he wants. Finally, deep eyes belong to people with an intense and possessive (but observant) nature and are often associated with writers and creators.
Eye distance can also be revealing. The eyes that are at a close distance show a narrow perception of the world, while the eyes that are at a greater distance mean that he is a rather open-minded person.
Finally, pay attention to the "look", which can say what the lips do not say. Many times you can understand if the person in front of you is cold, hard, hot or erotic just by his look.
Eyebrows
Thin and well-shaped eyebrows are supposed to show someone who is quite ambiguous and sometimes insecure. In contrast, people with thick eyebrows usually have a very strong personality and are prone to possessiveness and jealousy.
Nose
A big nose shows determination, confidence and courage. The thicker the tip of the nose, the more prone the person is to the use of force. The crooked nose is considered a sign of strong will and independence, while the crooked nose shows sociability and extroversion.
Mouth
The mouth is associated with communication and sensuality. When the upper lip is thin and the lower lip is thicker this may indicate someone who can not give in a relationship. The opposite means that the individual is overly generous.
Fleshy lips show a loving and sensitive character, while small lips are indicative of a rather egocentric and introverted personality.
Jaw
A strong jaw indicates someone who has a very strong value system. The stronger a person's jaw, the greater his endurance. Also these people are usually stubborn.
On the contrary, the most "discreet" jaw shows someone who has a weaker personality and gives great importance to the opinion of others.
Wrinkles
The "goose foot", ie the wrinkles around the eyes, for some are the "lines of joy". It is considered a sign of an open heart and is found in people who spread joy around them.
The vertical frown lines that appear between the eyes reveal a sensible person, who works hard and is very determined.
The lines that extend from the nose to the mouth are called "purpose" lines. The appearance of these lines characterizes people who are moving in the right direction in their lives.
