Stop thinking about what you look like. All this attention on our looks is not healthy and cultivates narcissistic characteristics. And I’m not saying this as a criticism of this channel. I find it mostly interesting. But online culture is too focused on looks.

I love this! Bigger lips, stronger jaw, etc. are not necessarily more beautiful, it's all about the balance of your face. Cosmetic surgery and filler will ruin your face if you don't understand how your face is structured in the first place.

[@franz3810]

androgenic faces are just trendy, not "more beautiful". I agree

[@madeleineprice3556]

Even shaped lips and a stronger jaw are largely viewed as more attractive though.

[@kupotenshi]

@@madeleineprice3556 By whose definition? If there was one true beauty standard for humans, you'd see it in all the paintings and cultures throughout the world.

Even though I grew up in Europe and have received compliments on my prominent bone structure; I also grew up consuming Korean media and it always made me feel like I didn't look right and would look better with perhaps fuller cheeks and a smaller, less angled jawline. It's interesting how culture can have such a big influence on how people view each other and themselves.

[@MsHafekasi_]

I watch a lot of Korean, Asian media too and I hate how so many Asians with beautiful jawlines cut off half their face. They would hate my wide jaw lol but I'd take it over the creepy V line look any day.

Me too my face is square shape and cheeks are wide and not cute and high as koreans so I'm really insecure about my cheeks

[@allergictohumansnotanimals5671]

@@MsHafekasi_ the thing with an unnatural v-line is that it can look okay from the front but then the side profile looks really bad. It goes from chin to neck, no jawline in between.

Square faces are so regal to me, I've never understood the allure of a pointy chin, even if the point is softly curved. Just looks kinda baby-ish and underdeveloped which I think is the point of most east-asian beauty trends

[@en2336]

The fact that there aren't any kpop idols that look like hoyeon due to what they consider "masculine" square face and monolids, despite her being one of the most beautiful women in the world... makes me wonder how many women messed up their faces to fit in...sad. beauty standards are a big problem in china too@@MsHafekasi_

[@idontcaretbh22]

[@JuliaKirsty]

Finally a really amazing description of what exactly visual weight is. I used to think my face's visual weight was high, but without any make up, it's actually rather low. In profile my nose has a tad bit of a higher visual weight, but only slightly. And of course it also depends on the lighting (sometimes my cheekbones look prominent and defined vs in other light settings they don't draw any shadows at all). I find it very easy to play around with make up though. I don't know if this is a general rule of thumb but I do feel like people with lower visual weight have an easier time changing their face's overall appearance with make up and lighting. I used to think faces with low visual weight are just more flat from the side profile and I thought that's about it.

[@carmaela2689]

Something is wrong with my brain because my eyes are drawn to the most please shapes. So in the difference between the brick and the feather, i still felt drawn to the feather as its whispy shapes were just more pleasing.

[@S_iswatchingyou]

This is such an interesting way to look at individualistic vs collectivist of cultures. The ideals come through in the way we prioritize what is beautiful (striking features are individualism, facial harmony is collectivistic).

[@tiah5881]

While the concept is hard to wrap my mind around. I can tell that if I go for lipstick I tend to come off as a head with lips to people. So I usually have to draw in my eyebrows and apply mascara and somehow it balances my face.

[@LuvinLife72395]

@@yourjoy1095​​⁠ a balance of average features blending together is more attractive than an imbalance of some features that stand out but don’t fit with the rest of the face. High visual weight has stand out features and low visual weight doesn’t. Stand out features that are imbalanced lack harmony that low visual weight can possess so low visual weight is not as negative as people think.

[@liyyzzi]

visual weight has nothing to do with attractiveness though?? it’s just the type of face you have

[@yeahaboutthatthough3656]

When discussing the concept of "visual weight" concerning people's faces, a significant question arises: which society's scale is the observer using to determine what constitutes "heavy" visual weight? It's apparent that an observer's perception of an element of someone else's face is heavily influenced by the uniformity of faces in their surroundings and the prevalent features there. For instance, in a remote African village, every aspect of an Anglo person's face will stand out significantly. Conversely, in China, features of an indigenous African face will carry noticeable visual weight to just about every native Chinese observer. These examples illustrate the arbitrary nature of "visual weight" when applied to human phenotypes, revealing its inherent flaws. For instance, fuller lips may appear "heavy" in a community or in a media landscape where most lips we are collectively exposed to are thin, thus carrying substantial visual weight. However, among individuals with similar genetics, full lips might not stand out at all for their size because everyone's lips are full there. Perhaps it's more appropriate to confine the concept of visual weight to discussions of art and composition, where it belongs. Otherwise, it risks uncomfortably veering into discussions about eugenics and other misguided notions about genetics that should be consigned to the annals of history.

[@sarahx7942]

This was an AMAZING explanation! And thank you for FINALLY including multiple races, skin types and genders I’m a video about beauty. Too many people leave all the analysis to one particular race… well done sir, I learnt a lot! 🙌🏾

[@sofitocyn100]

I have low visual weight when I wear no makeup because nothing stands out, but when I make up my eyes with eyeliner, my eyes become a striking feature and I get a lot of compliments. But I look not memorable if I don't cheat with make up. Angelina jolie has both big lips and feline eyes and an interesting beauty spot in the corner of one eye, so she has high visual weight everywhere. I also believe that one is drawn to things he is most attracted to. Most people look at eyes first because they are said to be the window to the soul. I know a girl who has striking features, but I always look at her lips because they are abnormally thin. Like, she has no lips at all. Doesn't mean she has strikingly beautiful lips and hence visual weight.

[@Itswat3vah]

Great video. Learned a lot!

[@ddw34]

When you did the brick and feather example I was thinking the brick had more visual weight when they were scaled to the same size. For the exact same reason you use in the edge and weight example

Fascinating video. Thank you 🙏🙏 Personally I find my visual weight relative to where a camera lense is: in close-up photos/videos, I have higher visual weight, the farther the camera lens the more boring I look lol. But maybe EVERYBODY is that way?? Because otherwise why would theatre makeup have to be so dramatic for the audiences sitting far away from the stage.

They always leave out the biggest feature and that is skin, the color, the pigment, the amount of melanin….yes it matters too. Before anyone will see any feature the first thing they’ll digest subconsciously is skin color. Then they will rate in the entirety of the face.

[@gailainsley6939]

Not true. When I see a gorgeous face. It’s bone structure and striking features that I see FIRST. 😅😴

[@AllegraJina]

Just try a lot of make up and different looks. If you always look like a completely new person then chances are high you have low visual weight. If you have trouble to look differently then your face is very strong and always shines through. I also feel like people with very high facial weight have to decide which features they want to accentuate because it can look too much if everything in your face is competing with each other.

[@totalyunsober]

Even though high visual weight/striking features are the beauty standard for western celebrities, I'm not convinced it's true for every-day people in real life. It would be difficult to study because striking features will generally always look better than balanced and soft features in photographs. Because of this, the rating of attractiveness of people in photos (as is usually done when studying beauty and attraction) probably doesn't accurately represent how the population would rate the same people in real life.
