THE FACE UNMASKED
In introducing the general overview of the face, a couple more important points
are noteworthy. They relate to the height and width of the head and face. A person
with a developed backhead is more emotional, family and socially orientated. The
narrower the backhead - the less so. The height of the crown indicates the idealism
but more so the authority of the person. When the crown is low the person lacks
in confidence to the degree that the crown is underdeveloped.
Obviously, an overdeveloped crown produce a tyrannical, authoritarian nature. Next
time you're in the office you'll be inspecting a few crowns on superiors heads I
suspect! An ambitious nature is also revealed by a well developed crown. The upper
portion of the top of the head relates to imagination in proportion to its development
and the dominance
Passivity can be detected by the width or narrowness of the head when viewed front
on. The length of the head reveals foresight. A short head, when viewed side on
indicates lack of forethought and a more live-in-the -moment attitude.
The Hair
Your hair is a measure of physical insulation, endurance and overall strength. If
your hair is fine, delicate and silky, you are sensitive and also likely to be fragile
physically especially if you are of a slender build. Thick wiry hair is an indication
of your physical prowess and your resilience in life. You have great recuperative
powers and may like a challenge in life.
The Forehead
The Forehead can be broadly categorised as follows - A wide forehead expresses your
cleverness and practicality - being someone capable of executing duty diligently.
This gives you high idealism and a wealth of ideas. A high rounded and deep forehead
depicts your idealism, but with a focus on strong friendship. A narrow forehead
is considered an obstacle to fulfilment,especially in social situations. Constraints
in family life. Need to think things through.
Shallow forehead with a low hairline may cause many obstacles to your career success
and parental troubles between the ages of 15 and 30.
Flat forehead gives you a more pragmatic nature, given to factual expression.
Exaggerated forehead reveals you are certainly a dreamer - one who needs to anchor
your ideas firmly to a plan of achievement.
The receding or "flying" forehead betrays your impatient and spontaneous manner
in life. Possessing an indented forehead is not a good omen for you employment or
business prospects. Plan and work carefully. Indented with powerful eyebrow ridge
means you are quick tempered, impulsive and ambitious.
A pointed forehead shows your high intelligence if your hairline is set back and
not too narrow.
The Eyes
Most importantly, look to the eyes. Prominent eyes with bright sparkle or glitter
are preferable to small, squinty or shifty eyes which reveal an introverted and
secretive nature. In fact the eyes are the most important feature in your close
encounters of the business kind. In your search for that employee or partner, look
for eyes that sit firmly whilst gazing steadily. This reflects a solid and persevering
nature and a person of stability and forthright disposition. In contrast, a wandering
or shifty eye portends a nature given to unsettled and inconsistent habits. Restlessness
will be evident and other features supporting your observation and gut feeling,
a tendency to dishonesty and unreliability will be marked in this type. In short,
this is a person of meagre commitment.
Unevenly set eyes convey an unique meaning. Firstly, the person is capable of seeing
things from a different perspective and applying lateral thought processes to resolving
problems. These people will analyse your comments and observations with a "left-of-field"
mentality. Often you will be amazed at the impromptu insights that they offer. If
you are looking for someone with a flair for shifting paradigms - then here's your
man or woman. These people become invaluable assets to a company looking for enginuity
in it's approach.
If the eyes slant upwards the person is an opportunist - more so if the brows also
slant in that direction (cats eyes look). Many models like Elle McPherson and Claudia
Schiffer possess these eyes. They know how to get what they want. If the eyes are
of the opposite slant i.e. slanting downwards, the person may be a little self deprecating
and at the mercy of others. They are hardly able to say "no".
The late Princess Dianna and Michael Jackson share a feature of the eyes. They possess
floating irises also known as sampaku. The whites are visible under the iris. This
indicates an inner turbulence - a person at odds with the world. Though spiritual
in nature, they are hard to please or understand and have very high expectations
of others. Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln also shared these traits.
The whites visible above the irises may indicate some dangerous elements within
the personality. An explosive temper may be latent in this type and the nature very
forceful. Caution is the operative word in this case. Charles Manson exhibited these
eyes. Chinese face readers call them wolves eyes.
Look at how close or widest the eyes are. Ideally, there should be at least one
eye width between both eyes. That being the case, you can assume your subject has
a balanced judgement and clear view of the world. The closer set the eyes the narrower
the opinion and view of the world at large. It may also reflect an overdependence
on parental and family structures. These people may need a nudge to develop their
own independent lifestyles. Their willpower should be strengthened in the search
for their own self assurance. Employees and workers displaying eyes of this type
certainly need continual encouragement to grow in self confidence. You will find
these types possess little forbearance or tolerance and may crack under stress.
Trivial matters can be blown out of all proportion.
In contrast, the wideset eyed character is far more tolerant and broadminded in
perspective. People of this class may present a flagrant disregard for authority
and advice. A delicate blend of firmness and understanding will iron out the initial
stresses between you and this type. Offer them alternative choices in their decision
making processes. In respect of career, these types need room to breathe. Give them
plenty of space to explore their creative potential. At times these types possess
too broad and superficial an opinion. Pauline Hanson is a case in point.
Deepset eyes betoken an intense, possessive, yet observant nature. When you look
into the deepset eyed person you can be sure that the mind motivating them is idealistic
and inspirational. Often writers and creatively driven personalities possess deepset
eyes. They are romantic to the core. Omar Shariff's or Val Kilmer's eyes represent
this class. This idealism is tempered after the age of 35 and surprisingly, reveals
a more than capable ability in financial matters. They are of sound judgement, compassionate
and serious minded. A philosopher's face may often also display a deepset "soul
window". You will need to carefully analyse and balance the other facial features
to see whether this type is scattered and impractical. The square or round chin
will anchor this type to a more empirical lifestyle. In this case, from a commercial
point of view, the middle aged with deepset eyes may be a positive asset to you.
Besides, a roving and unsteady eye, one incapable of looking at you directly, is
an attempt to mask inner intentions. Sometimes though, the shy and discouraged will
also reflect a similar eye. The look in these cases is an important factor in discriminating
between one or the other. Through practice the "look" can be ascertained quite easily
and can reveal amazingly accurate character snapshots of your subjects.
What does the look entail? Some looks are cold, others endearing, angry, weak or
strong. It is the look which can override an otherwise attractive face. Soft, enticing
features will be neutralised by a stern and unfeeling eye or a look which is hard
and cruel. Always balance your judgement of character by the look in the eyes that
present themselves before you.
Be watchful of people who look drunk even when they haven't had a single beer. Their
eyelids sit very heavily over the eyes. Remember, don't jump to conclusions in any
of your assessments. For example, the heavy lidded one may have had little sleep
the night before. A sleepy or drunken look is one that is seen in both men and women.
It offers a preview of a personality given to strong sexual desire, more so if the
lips are excessively thick and slightly opened. Here is a libidinous nature, but
one which may be lazy too. Periods of misfortune and despondency are also revealed
in this look. Unless you prefer a casual and uncommitted worker or relationship...next
please. Cold and unflinching eyes with small pupils and sharp eyelight may appear
cruel. If the person possesses other features such as a pointed and downward turning
nose, sharp angular shaped face and tightly pursed thin lips, be certain that the
individual is indeed cruel - both mentally and even perhaps physically. This is
a combo for ruthlessness. Accentuated jowels add more weight to your testimony.
The "look" of the eye and its internal expression is something that cannot be taught
in words but doesn't necessarily require years of experience to learn. In fact we
more or less instinctively do it when we meet people in various situations.
The colour of the iris is also an important determinant in your appraisal of character.
A deep blue colour means that you are in the company of a highly sexed yet gentle
and sensitive being. Light blue eyes suppose an individual who is likely to enjoy
flirting with the opposite sex.
Deep green eyes are not only highly energised like their blue eyed cousins but very
inventive too - both in practical and personal affairs. You will need a lot of time
to understand the spontaneous and sometimes wilful mind of a green eyed person.
Men and women of genius often possess this coloured eye. You'll need to sharpen
your intellectual skills with green eyed people.
Grey eyes reveal a high degree of intelligence and imagination but passion may
be less pronounced in this type as reasoning may subdue a part of their initiative.
They are a refined class of people with a fastidious streak.
Black eyes are very rare and when encountered are extremely striking. They are somewhat
strong natured individuals and don’t always present their case with what you'd call,
finesse. You'd need to toughen up your skin to live or work with a black eyed character.
A tumultuous road lay ahead if you opt for a life of black eyed fun??.
The Eyebrows
The eyebrow speaks of reputation, fame and temperament too. In many cases I have
found a developed brow line also shows a high degree of dexterity or ability with
the hands (engineers, electronics, civil engineers, drafts persons and architects).
Individuals who are observant and who have to combine refined measurements with
dexterity will have the brow line well developed.
The highly arched or ideal brow often seen in the faces of film stars is described
as a dramatic brow.
The low set brow reveals an impulsive temperament whilst a higher brow signals a
more cautious attitude to decision making.
A single thick brow over the nose bridge is a sign of intensity and possessive or
jealous nature.
A straight brow is the sign of an aesthetic and sensitive temperament.
The Nose
The intensity of physical action is related to oxygen intake, and the external instruments
of the body responsible for that function is the nose. A good sized nose is certainly
an indication of wealth too and the capacity to earn money. It shows the attitude
a person has to the issue of finances. Ideally the nostrils should be well concealed
for the best financial prospects. The ages of 40 to 50 are ruled by the nose.
The Ideal nose has a high, straight, full and fleshy tip with gently flared but
protected nostrils.
The fleshy tip indicates cordiality and warmth of personality. Deep empathy with
others. Set high standards for themselves and are good mannered (Lailin). Oversized
nose tip results in violent tendencies. The larger - the more prone to an act of
violence
An Aquiline Nose portrays strong will, independence and enterprise with successful
mid years.
An upturned nose betokens a luck in social circumstances and a love of mixing with
people.
Other noses may include :-
-
High bridge & pointed: High degree of energy and very curious mind.
-
Large: High energy levels but may be more materially concerned than spiritual.
-
Small: Reserved, shy type.
-
Thin: Highly strung, on edge and somewhat irritable with trifles.
-
Wide: Expressive but may develop a devil may care attitude.
-
Long: Prudent but anxious.
-
Short: Happy, natural.
-
Short Snub: Friendly but also secretive. Slow meticulous approach to life.
-
Straight: Disciplined nature which is methodical.
The Philtrum
The groove on the upper lip, below the nose is worth mentioning. It is called the
philtrum. If it is clearly marked, deep and long, it augurs well for a strong and
healthy energy levels and vitality. Flat, weak and unpronounced philtrums are a
mark of reduced life force and drive.
The Mouth
The mouth is related to communication, speech and the sensual appetites like eating
and sex. The lips relate to our ability to nurture others in loving relationships.
If the upper lip is considerably thinner than the lower lip, it reveals an inability
to reciprocate in relationships. Conversely, a thinner lower lip indicates an overly
giving nature.
Lips which are full, round and even convey to you that the person is caring and
sensitive. The upper and lower lips in equal distribution reveal a well meaning
and communicative personality.
If the lips are large it means an expensive and somewhat luxurious taste - but an
expressive and generous temperament nonetheless. Often the large mouthed person
can be very vocal under pressure, needing to verbalise, sometimes excessively, their
dissatisfaction and frustration.
Small lips which are also tightly pursed warn of a self centred and mean character.
The downward curvature of the lips is an marking pointing to discontent in most
matters. You may find it hard to please these types irrespective of what you do
or say. Look for upward curved lips which indicate the opposite - someone cordial
and optimistic with a sunny disposition. Ex Prime Minister Bob Hawke exhibited the
thin downward turned lips.
Narrow lips reveal an unemotional character who lives more or less an internalised
life, never able to enjoy the pleasure of sharing deeper feelings.
As well:-
Large lips mean a rich and luxurious taste. Expressive and generous temperament.
-
Small: Selfish, miserly.
-
Curving down: Discontented.
-
Large lips: Hedonistic.
-
Curving up: Cheerful.
-
Curved lips: Changeable.
-
Straight lips: Self-controlled.
-
Narrow lips: Unemotional.
The Chin
This relates to the stamina of the individual and the stronger the jaw line the
greater the degree of stamina and endurance. People with very strong jaw lines can
sometimes be considered stubborn. If the jaw line exceeds the balance of other features
in the face, don't be too hasty in your judgement as this may simply mean a person
who has strong convictions and who is not easily swayed by the opinions of others.
The chin should be rounded or square in shape with a gentle fullness. If this is
the case, the latter part of life, during the 60's and 70's will be satisfying and
lucky.
A protruding chin displays a strongly independent, determined individual.
Weak or receding chin reveals a weaker willed personality.
Jawline extending beyond earline betokens an individual who doesn't like losing
and who may brook no opposition.
The Ears
The ears fall in the mid section of the head but represent the early, formative
years of life between birth and 15. As such, look to the ears to determine the foundation
of life and the potential for achievement especially during the mid life ages 40
- 50.
The ears should exhibit good, fleshy inner and outer helixes. Thin and poorly shaped
outer helixes may reveal diminishing health.
Some other general types of ears are as follows:-
-
Set Close to Head: Plans ahead and is thrifty. Doesn't like to leave too much to
chance.
-
Protruding: An original thinker. Lonely. Non conformist.
-
Ears with small lobes: Not easy to achieve sexual fulfilment Dependant and may lack
initiative.
-
Ears with large lobes: Independent, strong minded.
-
Large ears: Intellectual.
-
Longer than wider ears: Keen, impractical.
-
Small ears: Instinctive.
-
Ears with no lobes: Unresponsive and lacks purpose.
The Cheeks
If status and position mean anything at all to you, you'll begin paying a lot more
attention to this part of your own and others' faces. Cheeks tell the story of industriousness,
power and authority in a person's life. Although as westerners we have a preference
for a prominent and bonier style of cheek, the eastern (especially Chinese face
readers) have a different perception.
Ideally, your cheeks should be prominent, fleshy and high set with full body, colour
and a warm glow. These attributes must be balanced against the position and strength
of your nose. Both these features should harmonise with each other. The cheeks should
stand somewhat apart from the nose not crowding it, nor too distant. The height
of both should not detract from each other. If you do indeed possess fine cheeks
of this description you will have very good chances of all round happiness.
In describing the ideal cheeks, Santa Clause may spring to mind with his rosy and
shiny set of chubby cheeks. But according to eastern opinion, the excessively shiny
cheek is indicative of digestive trouble. The cheeks are a pretty good barometer
of health changes from time to time. Keep a close watch on your own biological gauge
your cheeks. Other cheek colours to take note of in yourself and others are...
- Overly red cheek: lung and bronchial imbalance
- Shiny and red: gallbladder and/or heart problems
- Red and rashy: trouble in the intestinal region
And in the sphere of personal relationships the colour of the cheeks may also herald
some very important changes. For example,
- Blue or greenish tinge - turbulence or difficulty in love life
- Dark or grey tinge - inner dissatisfaction and poor circumstances generally
- Any moles or marks which appear suddenly are indicators of danger or trouble through
deception
The stronger the cheeks, the more authoritative you are. Those in positions of control,
executive power and leadership will often be seen to possess very strong, prominent
cheeks. In romance and marriage, the partner with the more powerful cheeks is said
to control the other. When meeting others of the opposite sex take note of the strength
of the cheeks. Compare your own and study the play of energies between you. Who
is the dominant partner? Do you or the other person own the stronger cheeks? In
this way you should foster the spirit of understanding and insight into your relationships
- both for business and pleasure.
If your cheeks are prominent yet not fleshy it shows your frugal and economical
disposition. You have a natural thrift not only where money matters are concerned
but in virtually every department of life. You hate waste! You may be the one in
the family who must eat the last vegetables left on your child's plate for fear
that they may end up in the bin. Or, if you have a pet, you take pleasure in seeing
that no scraps have been discarded by being offered at the door of the kennel for
the next morning's breakfast.
In the case of undeveloped cheeks means you or not that forceful in your communication
style and tend to be a little laid back but usually quite happy with what providence
brings along. You must be a little wary that this doesn't deteriorate into an apathetic
stance, which may cause lost opportunities for you.
Sometimes the cheeks appear to be strong in their presentation and are pronounced
but lacking at the base. This means you are a forceful individual who is combative
by nature. You are reactive to the circumstances and people around you and are learning
the lessons of graciously living and letting live.
If your cheeks are narrow but strong you have a very stubborn streak in your nature.
You are not easily changed in opinion or swayed from the course of action you set
your mind upon. You are also extremely forceful in the way you present your opinions
and ideas to others. This may not serve you as well as you think - especially if
you require the support of your peers and superiors in your professional arena.
