In Medieval Europe, beauty was considered to be synonymous with virtue, and ugliness was sometimes considered a sign of evil.
Even in more recent times, phrenology -- the study of the shape of the skull -- was used erroneously to identify the guilt of suspected criminals.
As recently as the 19th century, this remained a popular school of thought.
While these once fashionable ideas have been disproved by modern studies, there are still aspects of the face that may allow us to make a judgment on somebody else. This has been made more popular by the TV show "Lie To Me," in which Tim Roth plays a man who is an expert at reading faces to discover what is really going on with that person.
We don’t claim this to be an exact science, and it may be worth putting it in a similar bracket to things like astrology and palm reading. There are apparently over 100 points on the face that can be analyzed, but we aren’t going to tell you about all of them.
However, for anyone who has an interest in what their face may be revealing to others, you may just find a kernel of truth somewhere in here.
