Human Beauty
"Beauty is in the phi of the
beholder."
It has long been said that beauty is
in the eye of the beholder and thought that beauty varies by race, culture or era.
The evidence, however, shows that our perception of physical beauty is hard wired
into our being and based on
how closely one's features reflect phi in their proportions. Take
another look at beauty through the eyes of medical science.
A template for human beauty is found in
phi and the pentagon
Dr. Stephen Marquardt has studied
human beauty
for years in his practice of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Dr.
Marquardt performed cross-cultural surveys on beauty and found that all
groups had the same perceptions of facial beauty. He also analyzed the
human face from ancient times to the modern day. Through his research,
he discovered that beauty is not only related to phi, but can be defined for
both genders and for all races, cultures and eras with the beauty mask which he developed and patented.
This mask uses the pentagon and decagon as its foundation, which embody phi
in all their dimensions. For more information and other examples,
see his site at Marquardt Beauty
Analysis.

The Marquardt Beauty Mask |
Even with a perfectly proportioned face
though, there are endless variations in coloring and the shapes of each
facial feature (eyes, eyebrows, lips, nose, etc.) that give rise to the
distinctive appearance of each race and provide for endless variations in
beauty that are as unique as each individual.
The human face communicates an incredible
array of emotions which are an integral element of one's total beauty.
The human face conforms most closely to phi proportions when we smile.
You'll be perceived as more beautiful with a warm smile than with a cold-hearted look of anger, arrogance or contempt.
