What the shape of your face reveals your personality (and the favor to favor)

Have you ever noticed that some people have an energy that is reflected on their faces, while others seem protected, thoughtful, almost mysterious? According to morphopsychology, the morphology of your face would be a real canvas of your temperament.

Theorized in the 1930s by the psychiatrist Louis Corman, the morphopsychology tried to draw up bridges between the facial features and our personality. Based on this approach, a simple idea: according to a principle of dilation or withdrawal, our face would sometimes translate an opening to the world, sometimes a need for protection. A reading of the face that is both intriguing, even if it remains largely controversial in scientific circles, which point to its lack of validation.

Face reading: what the forms suggest

Morphopsychological observation is based on three main axes:

  • Dilated vs retracted frame:
    A dilated frame (wide, solid face) indicates great energy, a need to occupy space, marked sociability. Conversely, a retracted frame (fine face, elongated) evokes a strong sensitivity, a need for security, a more interior reflection.

  • Advanced or verticalized profile:
    A face projected forward betrays a taste for action, novelty. A more vertical profile expresses a need for organization, control.

  • Tonicity vs atony:
    Tonic features are associated with expressive, assertive faces. Displayed, relaxed assets are rather a sign of great receptivity.

Finally, the three floors of the face make it possible to identify the dominant source of motivation: the top (intellect), the median (relational) or the bottom (pragmatism, action).

Care and styles: Valuorize according to your morphology

Knowing how the face reveals personality allows you to make makeup choices and tailor-made care.

Here are some recommendations to enhance each morphology:

  • Dilated face (wide)
    Favor moisturizers and nourishing care that strengthens volume. On the style side, angular accessories can structure the lines and create a visual balance.

  • Retracted face (end)
    Opt for soothing and repairers, soft textures that relax the lines. Flexible hairstyles or enveloping frames valued the finesse of the face.

  • Advanced or verticalized profile
    Use makeup to soften the projected areas, and play with the hair volumes on the sides to balance the whole.

  • Tonic or sluggish face
    For tonic faces, relaxing treatments are recommended. For atmosphere faces, bet on invigorating routines that awaken the features.

  • Dominant floor
    If the upper floor predominates, targeted care on the forehead and temples can lighten the “intellectual” aspect. A strong median floor calls for cocooning care on the cheeks. A dominant lower floor can be highlighted with well -defined contours and dynamic textures.
