There is, somehow, an instant attractiveness boost conferred by sunglasses. But why is it that covering up our eyes creates this effect? Believe it or not, there is an expert on the topic (it was the subject of her PhD), and UK professor Vanessa Brown explains the situation to Science of Us. The Guardian notes Brown's research spun out of her catching sight of her own reflection one day—walking into a supermarket in scruffy painting clothes but looking, she believed "quite cool," thanks to her sunglasses. That may be because, first of all, symmetry makes us look better, and sunglasses hide asymmetry around our eyes. They also suggest a more attractive bone structure: one that's "chiseled" rather than "soft."

Probably true. I imagine if Liv Tyler met me she wouldn’t be nearly as happy to see me as I would to see her, and if she weren’t wearing sunglasses, it would sure as hell show!
I wear my sunglasses at night.
Do NOT light a match around that hair! You would need an oil rig disaster crew to put out the fire.
Yep. That’s EXACTLY what I look like when I wear mirrored sunglasses.
She should contact V. Stiviano for face covering tips.
She ain’t exactly Dorothy from Kansas is she!
I tend to agree with that. I have seen many people who looked much better without them.
I started wearing them AFTER Obama got elected.
LOL - she makes those SUN GLASSES look bad.
I think she pastes it down with mayonnaise or motor oil.
Her ugly goes bone deep and that includes her soul.
This is what she needed.

Rita: I'd like to make her look a little more attractive, how far can you pull back?
Cameraman: How do you feel about Cleveland?

I know it wasn’t this guy that said that, and I wish the spell checker was better here at FR (
Boy does that woman need an orthodontist.......doesn’t she know they straighten adults teeth now?
I think the idea of the study/article is that sunglasses make “less than” attractive people look attractive. Or at least more attractive or less unattractive.
Those who are pretty attractive to begin with look fine with or without. The sunglasses can give definition to a face that might not have great bone structure. But absolutely nothing bets a pair of beautiful eyes.
Spell checker works well, you need a grammar checker... synonym use checker...correct actor checker...Hey, you should have just followed hidabeast's lead and used the reset button.
