Can You Read My face?

I read an article today on msn, you know the pop-up that comes when you sign into msn? This article was about face reading. Like example, you meet someone and you know even without speaking with the person, you know that you won't get on well or you know then that the person will be bossy or annoying (in Raj's case you just want to punch and or slap him in the face lol).

Well the features analyst by the name Jean Haner, believes that everyone carries their personality in their faces. This is a practice she calls Chinese face reading which comes from an 'ancient Eastern in which doctors would examine facial characteristics to diagnose health problems. Rosacea, for example (where small broken capillaries appear on the face), can reveal a love of spicy food, wine or sunshine. Dark circles under the eyes are tell-tale signs of a stressful lifestyle where someone is not getting enough sleep.'

Interesting eh? She gives some examples like “Strong eyebrows and a sharp jawline can mean you’re practical and efficient, whereas a large full mouth can mean you’re nurturing.
"People with large pointed noses pay greater attention to detail, while a deep set philtrum [the line between your nose and lips} is a sign of fertility." Fertility? Is that a personality???

Jean then goes on to analyse some celeb faces;

The Gorgeous Cheryl Cole

Jean says 'Cheryl has sparkly bright eyes and dimples, which indicates a tendency towards the spotlight or working with people. A squared-off chin is a sign of extra practicality and common sense, which combined with Cheryl’s straight lower eyelids, shows she’s not overly sentimental. I would bet that Cheryl’s not a softy when it comes to striking a deal – she’ll probably go all out and stand her ground for the best possible outcome. Her lower eyelids are straight rather than rounded, which is the sign of a good negotiator. And her eyebrows show strength and assertiveness. Overall, Cheryl’s features reveal two strong aspects of her temperament – a natural ability to charm others and an almost inevitability that she would gain fame. She clearly has a driven and ambitious nature, and she may be easy to anger or at least be easily frustrated.'

Victoria Beckham

Jean says, 'Victoria is a woman for whom appearances are very important. She may appear to others to be snobby but underneath that exterior, she’s a highly sensitive person. This is revealed by the fineness of her features, her tiny bone structure, slightly bony cheeks and pointy features such as her nose, eyebrows and eyes. However, these features also suggest Victoria is excitable, passionate and cares very much about how she looks – not necessarily because of vanity (though that may be present) but because her whole energy will be thrown off balance if she has to wear clothes that don’t match her inner nature. For instance, Victoria will be most comfortable in spike heels with pointed toes and would absolutely dread having to wear athletic shoes that are flat and clumpy. Victoria’s lower cheeks are slightly sunken, which can be a sign of someone who will deprive themselves in order to achieve a goal or maintain control in their lives. This aspect of the face, combined with the sharpness and tightness to her other features, show someone who is a bit tightly wound with the potential for a high level of anxiety. This trait can lead to someone being a bit too controlling, in an attempt to ease their anxiety. Or it can mean that when under stress, this personality type can become dramatic and flare-up for a short time, but it doesn’t last long.'

Madonna

'Madonna’s eyebrows go up in a sharp diagonal line, which can be a sign of someone who is reactive and spontaneous. Her high forehead shows she is highly analytical and enjoys learning and studying. The inner corners of Madonna’s eyebrows come down close to her eyes, which reveal she can be quite self-critical. Her lips show that family, children and friends are very important to her and she can be very generous and loving in her relationships. Madonna’s jaw and eyebrows reveal that she loves to work, is active and will always continue to grow and develop herself in life. The inner corners of her eyes are pointed, suggesting that she is precise when it comes to communication but also that she may be sharp with her words if you make her angry.'

Kylie Minogue

'One of the things I notice about Kylie’s face is her very large and beautiful mouth. This suggests that relationships are really important to her. Kylie’s large mouth and full lips as well as the broad bridge of her nose show she needs to have people in her life who really understand her. She’s not the sort of person who flits around and has shallow flings or friendships, instead she needs strong and lasting relationships. She also has great stamina, is generous and really wants to help other people. Kylie’s eyebrows scoop up, which means she has a tendency to be reactive, impulsive and spontaneous. Her eyes slant upwards, indicating someone with a positive nature, who can spot opportunities and take advantage of them. Her prominent cheeks show that she’s not shy about speaking up, asking for what she wants or offering her opinions. She has a good chin, which reveals strong willpower and a deep tenacity to carry her through the difficult times. The tip of Kylie’s nose is a bit plump which suggests she delights in life’s pleasures, such as good food, having a beautiful home or surrounding herself with a collection of things she loves.'

I find this article very interesting because it is something that everyone tries to do. We see someone and try to read their face to see if we will get along, we now it is an art and profession lol. Do not know whether it is possible to read someone's personality on their face but I think an environment and someone's name can shape their personality but not their face. But you will never know lol

Jean Haner, I have a question for you. Can you read this face?
