We know that women with feminine facial features are treated as much more attractive, so that’s things like having bigger eyes, and a smaller jaw. I have the big eyes, small and narrow chin that you described though I didn’t know these features contributed to one being photogenic. However, the very features that give her the unforgettable, exotic look (upturned almond-shaped eyes, slightly asymmetrical face) make her look horrible in pictures. This is why celebrities on the red carpet are holding a very calculated pose with their body and a very intense, measured facial expression for long enough for the Paparazzi to get the perfect photo.
After all, these are the same features that scientists have declared to be what we, as humans, find the most attractive in the opposite sex. I think despite conventionally attractive features my features are not in balance and u do not have good cheeks or bone structure. If she didn’t do that, even Angelina Jolie with her perfectly symmetrical face would look like Sloth from The Goonies if the photographer hit the shutter button at the wrong moment when she’s in between facial expressions. Maybe, because photographs are 2 dimensional and features that are sharp stick out more, thus making a face photogenic.
Even though science can find trends, there are still rule breakers in the attractiveness category, such as individuals with an eye color that is decidedly not average, or striking features that draw attention like super sharp cheekbones, an interesting lip shape, or a strongly squared jawline. Anthropologists, neuroscientists, and psychologists have been researching “attractiveness for decades, with mixed conclusions, but the majority of research studies find that in general, the human brain weighs symmetry and something called “averageness of facial features when determining if someone is attractive.
