Perfect Face Dimensions Measured Shania Twain: The perfect face?

Scientists believe they have worked out the dimensions of the most attractive female face. They say the key to the ideal arrangement of female facial features is the measurements between the eyes, mouth and ears. Applying their results, the Canadian pop singer Shania Twain was rated as having the perfect visage.

The study, led by the University of Toronto, appears in the journal Vision Research. The researchers asked students to rate the attractiveness of colour photographs of the same woman's face, laid out side by side. Using photoshop, the researchers altered the vertical distance between the eyes and mouth, and the horizontal distance between the eyes in each image.

Angelina Jolie does not cut the mustard.The features themselves never changed, just the distance between them, and the woman's face was only compared to her own. Following a series of experiments, the researchers came up with the most attractive length and width ratios between features. On length, the distance between a woman's eyes and mouth should be just over a third or 36%, of the overall length of her face, from hairline to chin.

First of all, she’s not a pop singer - she’s a country singer! Just saying!

If ever there was a thread worth watching or contributing to this is it.

I may be old school, but I’ll take Elizabeth Taylor & Kim Novak over this gal any time!

Dig a little deeper, and they’ll find Phi proportions there, the Golden Section. It’s the mark of beauty and ideal proportions in everything, from buildings to trees to a woman’s face. It’s the mark of God. Beauty. That’s why those at war with God elevate ugliness, and want to defile the beautiful. They can’t help themselves.

I'd say her dimensions are pretty close to perfect.
