GOLDEN RATIO
What does a perfect face look like?
The first thing that we subconsciously notice is volume and shape of surrounding objects. A shape that is symmetrical and golden ratio makes it look harmonious and beautiful.
Golden ratio rule is a harmonic proportion when one object always consists of two bigger particles which relate to each other as 38/62 or 1.62
It’s a perfect rule that works for structural and functional perfection in different nature, art, architecture and math.
Golden ratio is used in PM for correction of the face shape and helps make it visually look harmonious and proportional. This way we can correct the face oval, size and shape of eyes, nose and eyebrows. Later we will show how to do it with a scheme.
The main principle of visual correction lies in use of dark and light tones. Dark and cold shades reduce the volume, make the shape clearer and vice versa light shades blur borders, make everything look bigger.
Perfect lips
A stereotype that irrationally large and full lips are beautiful has existed not for so long. Art of PM on lips is to lightly correct small defects and make them maximally proportional. We don’t increase lips on a client’s whim. Having perfect F proportion lips which is limited by a vertical line put from the medial iris border downwards. The height of lips corresponds as 1:1.618 (upper to lower). Distance between two top points of the cupid’s bow corresponds to the distance between a top point and the corner of lips.
So, is asymmetry natural for each of us beautiful? Of course, it is a good reason to get PM on lips. If we correct asymmetry we get a better overall look of any face. But slight asymmetry makes a face more attractive, so we don’t have to try to make it absolutely symmetric.
Cupid’s bow – a curve of the upper lips central part.
Philtrum – rough skin borders on both sides of the hollow under the nose.
White line – a thin line of white skin around the lip contour.
Red line (vermilion border) – s the normally sharp demarcation between the lip and the adjacent normal skin
Outer lips corner – commissure.
You need to start correction carefully. If a significant correction is needed, offer your client another way to solve this problem – fillers. They help to solve problems of asymmetry and volume more effectively. PM master can only slightly move a natural lip border line 1-2 mm, but not more. Let’s look at more situational examples.
The cupid’s bow isn’t in the center
– -find the central axis line
-put a dot, where the central axis crosses the red line
-rise the cupid’s bow contour by 1 mm connecting the top point with the point where axis line crosses the lip border
The right side of lips is longer
–
make the area near the corner 2 mm narrower on each side, where it will help you correct the asymmetry
The cupid’s bow top points are on different height
–
make the higher point 1 mm lower with a smooth line
-on the other side draw the contour line on the top border of the white line
Square bottom lips effect
–
– straighten the lower line of lips, smoothening the curves that make it look square
Age lips effect
don’t take into account folds at the corners of lips
-start working on the visible part of the lips a little further from corners
-connect the visible part of lips with the cupid’s bow points on the left and on the right
-do the same with the bottom lip
The golden ratio, also known as the “golden mean” or “divine proportion” is a mathematical concept that asserts that the most aesthetically pleasing proportion between two objects is 1:1.618. More accurately, 1.618 is written as the Greek letter phi (Φ). The perfect size for lip fillers starts with the bottom lip ideally being 1.618 times larger than the top lip. The lips should be 1.618 wider than the width of the nose and the top lip should project 1.618 more than the bottom lip. With this proportion in mind, an artistic injector can enhance a person’s natural beauty by adding just enough filler to come as close to the golden ratio as possible. However, exaggerating this ratio can result in “duck lips” or a fake appearance.
When evaluated in profile, what’s considered more ideal is if the upper lip projects more interior than the lower lip. An attractive bottom lip has a subtle symmetric fullness.
