A harmonious profile, a nice cut of the eyes, a well drawn and fleshy mouth are not the only characteristics that can make a face beautiful. In fact, key elements of the appeal are also the cheekbones. Apparently it seems like a bizarre quality to appreciate. In fact, they are decisive strengths and for years researchers and scholars have been trying to understand which is the most attractive form.
Among the most interesting is a study by Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, led by a team of sociologists who collected photos of a diverse group of women of Caucasian, Hispanic, African, European and Australian descent.
After submitting the selected images to a group of 20,000 people from all over the world, from the comments received the experts discovered that the high zygomatic bones are the distinctive elements of the faces considered the most beautiful. Furthermore, symmetrical, tall and well-designed are considered a sign of youth, while those that are not very accentuated are often linked to the effect of gravity and aging.
Those who have not been blessed by Mother Nature with screaming cheekbones can count on make-up methods, aesthetic treatments, aesthetic medicine methods and personalized facial gymnastics to redefine them. Finally, to be inspired, in the gallery there is also the top 10 of celebrities who have the most desired shape drawn up by the cosmetic surgeon Julian De Silva of London and published by dailymail.co.uk.
SPECIAL EFFECTS
Although there is no precise technique to mathematically establish which “level” your cheekbones are, to understand this there is a simple method, which consists in connecting the upper part of the ear with the angle of the nostril: if the zygomatic bone is above it is high, when it is below it is low. In this case, the make-up that exploits lights and shadows comes in handy to optically “lift” it. «You need a palette for contouring or two bronzers are enough: one with a light shade, to be blended with a soft brush in the area under the eyes, and the other dark one to be applied underneath. Then she gets a pass of transparent powder all over her face to even out, ”she explains Giada Venturotti, make-up artist QStudio Makeup-RP Academy Trainer. The blush is also decisive. «If the face is long, it fades under the cheekbone moving upwards towards the sides of the face; instead to stretch it is applied right above the bone by moving the brush outwards and slightly diagonally ».
MASSAGES (MIRACULOUS?)
The manipulation techniques called lifting effect massages are very trendy, which in a single session give not only redesigned features but decidedly lifted cheekbones. «I recommend paying attention to these practices when they are performed with too deep and energetic maneuvers. While on the one hand they give surprising and striking results such as remodeling, they leave a legacy of problems that are not immediately seen but that will make themselves felt over time. In fact, they can create micro-traumas to the facial muscles and break the blood vessels that supply the skin tissue “, warns Raffaella Casilli, aesthetic doctor and teacher of the Fatebenefratelli School of Aesthetic Medicine in Rome.
FILLER? TEMPORARY AND ONLY WITH AN EXPERT, THANK YOU!
Leaving aside the permanent silicone implants, which are almost completely abandoned due to the high risk of obtaining an unwanted effect that would require a new intervention to be corrected, the dermal filler implants with hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite injected into the tissue under the skin (last up to three months for the first and up to a year for the second) are the options proposed by plastic surgeons and aesthetic doctors. But Raffaella Casilli suggests paying attention: «These are methods that require a lot of experience on the part of the specialist who performs them. Therefore, before evaluating these choices, it is always advisable to check the real experience of the doctor you are relying on. A good system consists in asking to see before and after images of those who have undergone this type of procedure ».
THE “TARGETED” TRAINING
It is well established that a fitness routine and sports activities redefine the figure and improve the lifestyle. We generally neglect that the same muscle training is also beneficial for the face. Just like those of the body, the muscles of the face can also be shaped. A study of the Northwestern University proves that 20 weeks of daily facial exercise actually produces noticeably firmer skin and fuller upper cheeks. «Carried out constantly, and within a program defined on personal characteristics, it stimulates the blood flow, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. Not only that, it allows you to redefine the features and effectively counteract skin sagging »he underlines Elena Pecoraro, holistic pharmacist and naturopath specializing in natural nutrition, anti-aging aesthetics and phytotherapy, creator and founder of the Salux Method of Sheranee Cosmetics. «The most effective gestures to redesign and project up the cheekbones is to put the fingers of the hands under the cheekbone, gently lifting until the skin is stretched; remain in this position with the mouth open forming an elongated O for 5 seconds. Repeat 15 times. With constancy, the results will not take long to manifest themselves ».
