For centuries people have been trying to read a person’s character only by looking at their face. The ancient Chinese believed that the face is the mirror of the soul. In medieval Europe, beauty was considered a virtue, while ugliness was a sign of evil. In the 19th century, they started (ab)using phrenology to help identify criminals.
Even though modern science widely discredited this once popular idea, we still judge and assess people by the looks of their faces.
Supposedly, there are a hundred points on the face that can help analyze a person’s character, but we’re going to mention only few of them.
1. The shape of the face
People round faces are widely considered to be caring sensitive and emotional. They’re big dreamers and enjoy stable, long lasting relationships.
People with oblong faces are really practical and methodical workaholics. They’re usually athletic and fit, which sometimes makes them a bit egotistic and causes problems in their relationships.
A square face is usually associated with fire, so these people can often be aggressive, ambitious and prone to giving orders. They’re determined and possess a sharp analytical mind.
The triangular shape of the face often goes with a slender body and intellectual superiority. Chinese face readers associated this shape with creativity, sensitivity, and fiery temper.
2. Eyes
They say the eyes are the mirrors of the Soul. So what are your eyes saying about you?
*Shape
Big, expressive eyes with a sparkle have a slight advantage over the smaller eyes that suggest introverted and mysterious nature.
Calm, steady eyes, concentrated on observing, are a signal of a strong, stable and persistent character.
On the country, eyes that easily and mischievously wander off, are associated with restless character and inconsistency in habits.
Unevenly set eyes indicated the person is able to see things from a different perspective and is prone to analyzing everything.
If the eyes and eyebrows are directed upwards, this person can be an opportunist.
Heavy eyelids who make people look sleepy and drunk, even though they haven’t taken alcohol, suggest a person with strong libido especially if they have fuller lips.
Cold and calm eyes imply a stringent person.
*Color
Deep blue color means that you are a socially open person, but at the same time you are a gentle and sensitive being.
Light blue eyes suggest that the person probably enjoys flirting with the opposite sex.
Deep green eyes are a sign of high energy and inventiveness. It’ll take you a lot of time to adjust to how spontaneous and lucid these people are. In their presence you will need to sharpen your intellectual skills.
Chocolate brown eyes have people who come from the Mediterranean and the Middle East. This particular color shows how much passion they have and how much they love social life. Their passion usually goes with loyalty and dedication, and such a person will work hard to ensure the comfort of their family. Brown eyes are also a sign of generosity.
Grey eyes reveal a high level of intelligence an imagination. But passion is not one of their usual traits, because they are prone to reasoning.
Black eyes are rare and impressive. They’re usually found in dominant people who’ll do anything to achieve their goals and not always by using conventional means.
3. Eyebrows
Eyebrows show reputation, fame and temperament.
Thick eyebrows signal assertive and strong people who are skilled in working with hands.
Thin eyebrows show that the person is often reluctant.
Eyebrows set low on the face reveal impulsive temperament, while high eyebrows signify people cautious when making decisions.
Flat eyebrows are a sign of a person with high aesthetic criteria and sensitive temper.
4. Lips
Through the form of the lips we assess the sensuality, appetite, and communication skills which a person possesses.
Thinner upper lip and fuller lower lip point out someone who can’t give much in a relationship.
The opposite form shows a person who gives too much.
Full, rounded lips are a sign of hedonistic, caring and sensitive nature, while thin lipsare associated with self centered people.
Flat lips are a sign of self-control.
5. Pronounced wrinkles
They say that the pronounced wrinkles around the eyes are the lines of joy. They are a sign if a person with an open heart who smiles and laughs a lot and spreads joy.
Deep vertical lines that appear between the browse reveal a very rational person: this is someone who analyzes everything and is really determined.
Lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth are called lines of purpose. People who have them are on their right path.
6. Nose
Big nose – The bigger, the nose the bigger the thirst for power. These people’s egos are as big as their need for independent work. People with big noses hate to be bossed around. They like to be part of big projects which makes them uninterested in the little ones.
Small nose – People with small noses do best in activities where they can use their imagination and be spontaneous. Sometimes they are very impatient. They’re always prepared to help and working with them is real fun and pleasure.
Long nose – If you have a long nose, you’re a person with a sense for business. You possess a healthy dose of ambition, excellent instincts and you are the leader that everybody follows gladly. However, your biggest problems come out of your biggest qualities.
Short nose – You are loyal and caring, but you lack motivation and ambition. You’re not emotionally strong enough for competitive situations and you can’t put up with people with expressed egos.
