What do Scarlett Johansson, Lupita Nyong’o and Halle Berry have in common? Apart from the fact that all three of them are world famous, they also have a particular face shape, which makes them singularly beautiful, according to a study.
Scarlett Johansson, Lupita Nyong’o and Halle Berry have one thing in common: they are beautiful women. And according to science, one detail in particular explains why.
A scientific study that compares the shape of faces
For this study, Turkish scientists showed the same female face to 172 men. The only difference between the five photos: the shape of the face. The men were asked to rate each face on a scale of one to ten: with a score of 1 being a “very unattractive” face and a score of 10 being a “very attractive” face.
The researchers then calculated the average score obtained by each of the faces. Results: The heart-shaped face obtained the highest score, 5.3 out of 10 on average.
A heart-shaped face, the most attractive for men
According to the findings of this work, having a heart-shaped face, with broad cheekbones and a pointed chin would be the most attractive female face for men.
According to experts, this shape would give the face a smooth and curved appearance while high cheekbones would help to rejuvenate the face for longer.
It is therefore typically the shape of the faces of stars like Scarlett Johansson, Lupita Nyong’o or Halle Berry. The second most requested face shape by men is oval, with a score of 4.5. This corresponds to faces like those of Rihanna or Cameron Diaz. On the opposite, in last position, comes the square-shaped face, with a score of 4.06.
