No one can deny society's obsession with good looks. It is something that is as old as time, and has been constantly evolving with the times. Throughout history, both men and women have always striven to have good bodies and pleasing faces or a pleasing appearance. Usually the parameters of what “looks good” were dictated by society. Some societies and eras liked round shaped, rather plump men and women, while other societies liked angular shaped, relatively thin men and women.

The perception or current standard of beauty changes with generations, but one thing always remains the same, and that is the beautiful face.

A beautiful face can be your greatest asset. Even if you have an “average” body by societal standards, having a beautiful face can make you stand out in the crowd. You will notice this is true when you look around you and observe the interactions between people. Mature men tend to look at a woman's face first before looking at the rest of their body. This is the same when women look at men.  

A face can draw a person in, and make them look twice at a woman or a man. Have you ever seen a pretty good looking guy with a chubby girl and wonder why he's with her? Or have you seen the reverse, a great looking girl with a chubby guy? Look at her face, look at his face, you're sure to find a beauty!

So, what makes a beautiful face? That's a tricky question because your face changes with age. However, to answer the question generally, a pretty face is a face that has a youthful glow, is well proportioned, and enhances the features of the person. It should have clean lines which show angles or divisions, such as the jawline which divides the face from the neck and emphasizes the chin.
