World’s most desirable face? It’s a combo of THESE celebrity features
If our Irish mothers taught us anything during our hideously awkward teenage years, it's that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
So while you may have longed for Angelina Jolie’s lips, and your mate may have been all about Kate Hudson's smaller pout, the lad in your History class may actually have seen something in your chapped pucker.
And it is, as we all know, incredibly difficult to define the ‘perfect’ face, but it sounds like Harley Street facial cosmetic surgeon Dr Julian De Silva has come pretty damn close.
Based on the requests for famous facial features from 1,000 women about to undergo cosmetic surgery, Dr De Silva has revealed the world’s most desirable face.
And in fairness, it is pretty stunning.
Boasting Keira Knightley’s eyes, Kate Middleton’s nose, Penelope Cruz’s lips and Selena Gomez’s chin, this computer-generated face is an example of the features favoured by those going under the knife.
Commenting on requests he receives from patients at the Centre for Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery, Dr. De Silva said: “Obviously the challenge for me is to look at their facial proportions and advise whether this will be a good look for them after surgery.”
"Thankfully, a lot of the time, it works very naturally to replicate a nose like the Duchess of Cambridge's or eyelids similar to Keira Knightley's,” he said.
“But on other occasions we do have to amend the plans because there are limits to how far you can improve what nature has given you."
Acknowledging the patient's need to use celebrity features as a template, Dr. De Silva added: "What is wrong with wanting to look like your favourite star? It helps cosmetic surgeons to quickly establish exactly what a patient wants."
Amen.
