The face is a location that beauty seekers pay great attention to, and it is also the first part to be observed and seen between people. Generally, the shape of a servant’s face will be determined around the age of 18. If there are unsatisfactory areas in one’s facial contour or some parts of the face, they can be improved through professional facial plastic surgery. With the development of plastic surgery technology today, beauty seekers can have a beautiful appearance in a very short period of time.

Facial shape refers to the outline of the face. The upper part of the face is a curved structure composed of the maxilla, mandible, temporal bone, frontal bone, and parietal bone, while the lower part is determined by the shape of the mandible. These are all key factors that affect facial shape. The frontal bone plays a very important role, determining the basic structure of the face.

Traditional Chinese aesthetic concepts attach great importance to facial beauty. In ancient Chinese painting theories, there is a term called ‘San Ting Wu Yan’, which refers to the vertical and horizontal proportions of the face viewed from the front. ‘San Ting’ means dividing the face from the front horizontally into three equal parts, namely from the hairline to the brow line as one, from the brow line to the nose base as one, and below the nose base as one. ‘Wu Yan’ means dividing the face from the front vertically into five equal parts, with one eye length as one division, that is, the distance between the eyes is one eye, from the vertical line of the upper eyelid to the vertical line of the outer ear is one eye, and the entire face from the front is divided into five eye spaces. All characters’ facial shapes drawn according to the proportion of ‘San Ting Wu Yan’ are harmonious. The ideal egg-shaped face conforms to this proportion.

Beauty seekers apply makeup to their faces every day, which is a way to become beautiful.

Names of facial bones

The facial bones of a person are the foundation of the entire facial shape, so there are many analyses and scientific research on these aspects.

In addition to the general common facial shape, we also pay special attention to the changes in skeletal structure that occur with the passage of time and aging. A person’s facial shape may also become more angular and structured due to excessive thinness. In addition, age, diet, obesity, and other issues also affect our facial shape.

Whether the facial contour is too prominent or unclear, it is an element to consider when applying makeup. The following is the key skeletal structure of the face.

The Apple’s frontal bone: The slanting degree of the forehead is due to this bone, ranging from the top of the head to the top of the head. By gently pressing with the pad of your finger, you can touch this bone. The frontal bone affects the size and convexity of the face. When observing the facial shape from the side, you will find that due to the different structure of the frontal bone, the width and height of the forehead are different, and the distribution of hair is also different.

The mandible: The bone that affects the facial contour. If we deliberately pull in our cheeks, this bone is very prominent and easy to distinguish and touch. The prominence or indentation of the mandible can change the entire facial shape, so it should be very careful when applying makeup.

The Apple’s nasal bridge: The level of prominence of the nasal bridge determines the size of the nose, but the attached cartilage can also affect the size of the nose. Like the frontal bone, when observing the facial shape from the side, the nasal bridge stands out and is easy to distinguish. The shape, size, flatness, and other features of the nose vary depending on the angle of the nasal bridge.

The Apple’s eye socket: Refers to the inner indentation where the gaze is directed. The level of indentation in the eye socket can affect the depth of our eyes.

The Apple’s mandible: Also known as the jawbone, it is located below the ear, connected to the skull, forming a middle indentation. It is a rare movable bone in the skull. The size and projection of the mandible both affect the facial shape. The shape of the jawbone can determine whether a person has an egg-shaped face.

The Apple’s sunken cheek: The degree of cheek indentation varies with age or facial bone structure, and an excessively wide or narrow indentation can affect the entire facial contour, making the mandible appear more prominent.
