You probably noticed that some people seem more beautiful than others. There is a scientific explanation for this: everything beautiful in our world is subject to the rule of the golden ratio. To put it simply, anything that is considered beautiful is also proportional. And human faces are no exception.

At Bright Side, we read through the research of the famous facial cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Julian De Silva. With the help of mathematical calculations, he determined the 10 most beautiful celebrities in the world.

How to measure beauty mathematically

You need to find the length and width of the face, and then divide the first number by the second one. If the result is 1.62 (Phi number), the face is perfect.

You should take into account other measurements too, like the distance between the lower point of the chin and the tip of the nose, the distance between the tip of the nose and the point between the eyes, and the distance between the point between the eyes and the forehead hairline. If these 3 numbers are equal, this person is believed to be beautiful.

You can calculate other distances too (the perfect result is the same Phi number):

Besides, you need to pay attention to the following aspects. The length of the ear should be equal to the length of the nose, while the width of an eye should be equal to the gap between the eyes.

Dr. De Silva put together a list of famous women whose faces are close to perfection. To make it easier to understand, their beauty was calculated using a 100-point scale.
