How To Keep Your Chin Up In Today’s Beauty Obsessed World

Connoisseurs of beauty agree that a good facial architecture is necessary to emphasize the allure of any face whether you’re a man or a woman. Inspired by the beauty criteria prescribed by poets and painters women have been obsessing over sexy lips, long lashes, high cheek-bones, etc. but recently the renaissance sculptors — a.k.a the aesthetic doctors of today — have diverted attention towards the lower face focusing on chin and jaw-line.

Exhibit One Kim K — looking at these before and after’s you can clearly see that the position of chin is fundamental when judging the golden proportions of a face. 

A youthful V-shaped face blessed with well angled/sized chin can elevate beauty of any visage if the correct proportions are restored.

Hot Or Not Finger Trap Test — Lets put your beauty to a bone fide “Rickett's E-line” test to verify your lower facial symmetry and proportions. For a quick determine if you're 'beautiful' —place your index finger against your chin and nose and see if your lips touch it. If they do, congratulations, you're officially hot.

This concept of measuring lower face proportions dates back to the 1950s and is credited to orthodontist Dr. Robert Ricketts, who focused on what he called the 'E-plane'. According to him in an average Caucasian face a  'pleasing facial profile' was determined — when a simple line drawn from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin, the lips touched the plane — or in the finger trap's case, the finger- running from the nose to the chin. Like the Golden Ratio devised by the ancient Greeks, its one of the tests practiced by some cosmetic doctors to assess and plan cosmetic treatments.

Reality Of Life — Not everyone is born with a perfect facial structure. Some of us are born with a recessive or weak chin. Aging can also play a role as lax skin and the effects of gravity disrupt the contours of a once beautiful face. Fat layers on the form of a double chin can also distort the beauty and elegance of a face.
