EXPERIMENT TWO - SELF BEAUTY

This is just a short one. 

Here I traced my own face, laid over the bullshit ‘perfect beauty’ mask that plastic surgeons use. (Google this if you are curious, I don’t want to further this crap idea.) I apparently have too large eyes, and a too small mouth. (NOTE: my facial outline is missing in this because I was wearing a hood up and was too lazy to take a new picture.)

My face laid over the average model’s face. Shockingly similar! My eyes a little larger, and my nose a little narrower at the bridge, but we are both ‘imperfect’ in the same ways compared to the ideal beauty mask. This was a closer match than a few controls I did with other random faces.

My face overlaid over my favorite model’s face. Whoa…

What does this say about my personal taste in beauty? Does one really prefer faces that look like their own? Do I really look like a beautiful male model? 

Questions for the ages.
