faces

Faces are, generally, what attracts us to another person. The face is what lures us in or distracts us. The eyes are called the windows of the soul. The shape of the nose, the way the lips curl, the edge of the chin, the prominence of the cheek, the colour of the skin … all of these elements add up to what the beholder finds either pleasing or displeasing to the eye.
I remember at a ski resort waiting in a queue for the lifts, admiring two girls from behind my mask, both of whom looked very attractive, yet had large ski googles on. One of them took off her ski mask and revealed gorgeous almond eyes, the other then removed hers, and her appearance was radically different, nowhere near as pretty!
When we smile apparently we only use four muscles, yet when we frown we use sixteen. So of course, we are encouraged to smile more, because, even if some of us do look cute when we're angry, at the end of the day smiling is less exhausting. And, let's face it, a smile really can light up a room.
Curiously though most of my facial aesthetics for Style of Eye lie more in the deadpan expression, the ever-so-slight brood, or the subtle cum-hither gaze ...
My lover’s visage is gorgeousness personified. But of these particular faces, many of them enhanced by skilled photography, I do find my red-blooded maleness inexorably drawn to the exotic allure of all those high cheek-boned, full-lipped women; Tabatha Cash, Pania Rose, Gia Carangi, Natalie Imbruglia, Laura Gemser, Sophie Ellis Bexter, Andrea Corr.

Literally and aesthetically.
You certainly do have an eye for faces Raoul. Even if, they are, as you say;
...and I love that you have Aishwarya Rai there...
