What Makes a Woman Beautiful?

• It is not necessarily big eyes, fair skin, straight thin nose and small lips ( in Asian culture)
  or
  big eyes, tanned skin, straight thin nose and full lips ( in Western culture)
• Whether you are pretty or not depends on the proportions of your features, namely your face, eyes, nose and lips.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Rules of Proportions
  
• No bents!
• No crooks!
• The shape is symmetrical ( eg : mouth is the same left n right, both eyes has the same height and shape, nose is straight...etc)
• The space between your face features are reasonably apart..
