Can you make your face beautiful? Emotional facial expression as a subject of facial expressions.

How to make your face beautiful? How is the face formed? What you need to do to look beautiful. Emotions, facial expressions ... About this article ...

Who exercises his face?

Do you think nobody? - You're wrong.

Here is a little girl spinning near the mirror. Mom reproaches her: “You can’t do that! Stop showing off! That's not what decent girls do!" And then the girl does it on the sly. When no one sees.

Or maybe he never does, feeling forbidden.

What determines the beauty of the face? Read about it in the article...

I don’t know what parents are afraid of, forbidding children to study their faces, to train facial expressions. Maybe the parents are afraid that the child will learn to manipulate the parents using their face? That the child will deceive them?

Show sadness without being sad.
Show obedience, yet disobey.
Maybe so?

However, parents are just so accustomed themselves. In childhood, they were taught to “grimacing” in front of a mirror. And parents were weaned by their parents ...

- So uncivilized! It's not supposed to be like that! You can not do it this way!

They even came up with a legend about Narcissus, who looked at his reflection for a long time and became a flower.

What determines the beauty of the face?

I am writing this article on my laptop, in a cafe, drinking my favorite coffee with milk ... At the next table, three girls are talking about something.

It was the observation of them that gave the idea for the article.

It seems to be beauties. But no.

Beautiful bodies. Wasp waist, emphasized chest. It can be seen that these girls are engaged in their bodies.

Maybe yoga, dancing, running, gym- I do not know. Plus, probably, diets are different. It can be seen - they work on the bodies, withram.

Wonderful hair, everyone has their own style. Their faces are covered with imperceptible traces of cosmetics, each trying to look good.

But I am sure that none of them is engaged in the development and change of their face.

One or two smiles on duty (for photographs) - that's the whole arsenal of facial expressions.

Each of them could become a beauty. Such a girl with whom I would like to sit in a cafe, over a cup of coffee.

Be enchanted... And fall in love...

And there is everything for this.

It remains to work on the face

Above the expression of the lips, eyes, eyebrows.

And if they worked on their face, not only with the help of cosmetics, they would be beauties.

But... alas...

How are faces formed?

Those people who are often dissatisfied develop dissatisfied faces.

Sad faces are obtained from those who are most often sad. Closed faces, without emotions - in cautious, distrustful people. And funnyfaces appear in cheerful people.

It is important to constantly monitor your facial expression.

Is always. Or as often as possible.

And do not allow discontent, disappointment, sadness. Even in the most ordinary situations.

When we drink tea in a cafe, for example.

And if allowed, then in this case, the face remains beautiful.

(Well, let it be ugly - as you wish!)

It is important to study your face in advance, how we talk, how we rejoice, wonder, admire.

Are we so offended?
Is this how we show dissatisfaction?

How are we offended? How do we express dissatisfaction?

And if we don’t like some emotion, we can change it, develop it, train it.

In this place, I often hear criticism. That, they say, this is dishonest, unnatural, not right. What, they say, to whom it is given, is given to those, and if it is not given, then it is not given! You can't learn it!

Usually, I don't insist or argue.

Yes, some people are more fortunate than others.

I know beauties who secretly spend hours in front of the mirror, studying themselves, their faces.

Experimenting. Trying new emotions. Charming yourself. Talking to yourself, imagining the interlocutors and their faces.

But no one admits it.

Why? Because it's very intimate. Just like having sex with yourself. Doesn't anyone admit this either? Right?

But if you see a wealth of emotions on your face, beautiful expressions of lips and eyes, this is most likely the result of training.

Smart girl!

It is clear that not only the face needs to be dealt with

Moreover, do not go to extremes, doing only facial expressions.

It is important to learn other skills as well.

Including oratory, of which I am a coach.

I personally know such beauties who work on their face.

I heard about it for the first time when I was a student, and I couldn't believe my own ears.

And then I bought myself large mirror. - Guess what for? - And even skipped a lecture, stayed in the hostel so that no one would see me practicing my smile.

Then there were gestures. The ones I have now.

Actors, artists, fashion models are engaged in the development of facial expressions ...

Have you seen the wonderful film "Artist"? If not, be sure to check it out! Recommend. The film is without words, so everything is based on facial expressions, gestures, emotions.

Time will pass…

Think, time will pass, and my article will become completely irrelevant.

The world of girls, and guys, will be engaged in training and developing their faces.

In the meantime, as they say: “Everything is in our hands”

Right now go to the mirror. Explore all your emotions!

Everything! And anger, and joy, and irritation - too!

And very important: speak in front of a mirror! Learn to be surprised, beautiful. Learn to express gratitude. Interest.

After all, a face in motion happens much more often than a static one.

Smile out of the corners of your eyes. Smile at the corners of your lips.

Learn to change your face and smile during a conversation.

Smile at the corners of your lips.
Smile out of the corners of your eyes.

And practice, practice, practice...

And further. O female faces. If a woman wants to please men, then what kind of facial expression should she train? A?

Right. Men are attracted to faces that show the desire for sex. Such faces also need to be trained, if this is important.

What faces turn you off?

Fear and fright make faces such that you don’t want to approach them. This is a defensive reaction. Mask. And, it's a pity, it is with such persons that people most often meet.

Fear, fright, discontent disfigure our faces. And, if such a condition is not uncommon for a girl, it makes a reliable imprint on her face. And to make such a face beautiful will be more and more difficult.

Improving the character, we improve the appearance.

Our behavior and emotions are connected with our appearance, our face. The most frequent emotions form the character, and form our face. Therefore, the direct connection of our character with our faces. So be kind! Don't get irritable. By improving our character, we improve our appearance.

For eight years I led the club of practical psychology. We conducted many different classes and trainings, completely different. But there were also such classes aimed at inner and outer beauty, at harmony. And I saw how people “bloomed” and changed faces.

There is a wonderful poem on our theme of human faces.

About the beauty of human faces. Poet, Nikolay Zabolotsky , perfectly revealed the theme of the beauty of human faces. Comparing faces with the facades of houses is a wonderful metaphor, you must agree ...

On the beauty of human faces

Nikolay Zabolotsky

There are faces like magnificent portals
Where everywhere the great is seen in the small.
There are faces - the likeness of miserable shacks,
Where the liver is cooked and the abomasum gets wet.

Other cold, dead faces
Closed with bars, like a dungeon.
Others are like towers in which
Nobody lives and looks out the window.

But I once knew a small hut,
She was unsightly, not rich,
But from her window on me
The breath of a spring day flowed.

Truly the world is both great and wonderful!
There are faces - the likeness of jubilant songs.
From these, like the sun, shining notes
Compiled a song of heavenly heights.

There is another poem. Vladimir Vysotsky. It's the same theme, but presented in a different way. You can scroll through, if not interested, and read the article further.

MASKS

Vladimir Vysotsky

Laughing sobbing among the crooked mirrors,
I must have been cleverly played:
Hooks of noses and grins to the ears -
Like a Venice carnival

What should I do? Run, hurry up?

Or maybe have fun with them?
I hope I - under the mask of animals
Many have human faces.

All in masks, wigs - all as one.
Who is fabulous, and who is literary.
My neighbor on the right is a sad harlequin,
Another executioner, and every third is a fool.

I enter into a round dance laughing,
But still, I feel uneasy with them, -
And suddenly someone the executioner's mask
Like it, and he won't take it off?

Suddenly the harlequin will forever be sad,
Admiring his own sad face?
What if the fool has his foolish appearance
So it will be forgotten on a normal face?

The ring closes around me
They grab me, they draw me into the dance.
Well, well, my usual face
Everyone else took it for a mask.

Firecrackers, confetti! But it's not like that...
And the masks look at me reproachfully.
They scream that I'm out of time again
That I step on the feet of partners.

Evil masks laugh at me
Merry - they start to get angry,
Hiding behind a mask, as if behind a wall,
Their human real faces.

I'm chasing after the muses,
But I won’t ask anyone to open up:
What if the masks are dropped, and there
All the same half-masks-half-face?

I still penetrated the secret of masks.
I am confident that my analysis is accurate:
And the mask of indifference in others -
Protection against spitting and slaps.

But if he was a scoundrel without a mask,
Wear it. And you? Everything is clear to you.
Why hide under someone else's face
When is yours truly beautiful?

How not to miss a good face
How honest to guess for sure me?
They decided to wear masks
So as not to break your face on the stones.

P.S. Last important addition.

Since you have already read the article up to this point, which I am very pleased with.

This unexpected observation (for myself) I made on the train. And I travel very often, work is like that.
Waking up early, I looked out the compartment window and at the beautiful sleeping girl opposite. It is, of course, indecent to look at girls when they are sleeping. But she was sleeping. She had wonderful breasts, under the T-shirt. Beautiful long hair. Correct facial features ... And a tired, dissatisfied face, and therefore not a beautiful face.

I sat and modeled in my mind, what will she be like when she wakes up?
Frozen discontent has already manifested itself in the wrinkles on his face. I thought that this girl often falls asleep like this. And that she could be much more beautiful than she is now. If only I smiled more. And smile before going to sleep.

Sleep takes up a third of our lives. Falling asleep - remember this article! Smile!

People often say one thing and think something completely different. Therefore, it is important to learn to understand their true state. When transmitting information, only 7% is reported in words, 30% is expressed by the sound of the voice, and more than 60% goes through other non-verbal channels: look, facial expressions, etc.

People tend to say one thing and think something completely different, so it is very important to understand their true state. When transmitting information, only 7% of it is communicated through words (verbally), 30 percent is expressed by the sound of the voice (tones, intonation) and more than 60% goes through other non-verbal (look, gestures, facial expressions, etc.) channels.

For a correct understanding of the speaker, it is desirable to evaluate what is being said in the inseparable connection of words, speech, pantomime and other "accompanies" of communication, bringing one's perception to some completeness.

The emotions experienced in the soul, people usually express:

conventionally (in a standard way accepted in a given communication environment);

spontaneously (involuntarily).

When a partner seeks not to give away how he relates to what is being reported, everything can be limited to a simple conventional non-verbal hint, sometimes true, but more often disorienting.

People often weigh their words and control facial expressions, but a person is able to simultaneously monitor no more than two or three of all reactions born inside. This “information leakage” allows you, if you have the appropriate knowledge and experience, to identify those feelings and desires that the object would prefer to hide.

The reactions that involuntarily arise in people are purely individual and are well read only with excellent knowledge of the partner. Failure to understand this moment can lead to fatal self-deception in the knowledge of another person.

When evaluating personal expression, not only innate differences are taken into account, but also the influence of traditions, upbringing, environment and general life culture. It is desirable to be aware of both the background state (mood) of the individual and his reaction to some emerging stimulus (probing, act, situation).

Much more clearly than in men, the emotions present in women are visible, which are usually (though not always) easy to read. Success in hiding one's feelings depends on the nature of the person (it is more difficult for a choleric than for a phlegmatic person), the accompanying circumstances (affectability, surprise) and the experience of the perceiver.

When stimulating personal feelings, for greater persuasiveness, all expressive means are usually used in excess. Keep this fact in mind when appreciating the sincerity of other people and trying to portray your experiences.

Experiences that arise in the soul of a person are highlighted in his appearance and movements in a very definite way - this is probably the simplest and least controversial zone. We found that many people do not understand at all that communication can occur through facial expressions. They never tried to understand how it happens.

During business negotiations one can observe the widest range of facial expressions: at one pole - an aggressively tough person who looks at negotiations as a place where you need to "do or die". This one usually looks you straight in the eyes, his eyes are wide open, his lips are firmly compressed, his eyebrows are furrowed, and he even speaks sometimes through his teeth, almost without moving his lips. At the other end of the spectrum, someone with impeccable manners, an infantile gaze from under closed eyelids, a slight veiled smile, peacefully arched eyebrows, without a single wrinkle on his forehead. He is probably a capable and approachable person who believes that cooperation is a dynamic process.

Under the influence of the feelings experienced by the individual, coordinated contractions and relaxations of various facial muscles are born, which determine a facial expression that perfectly reflects the emotions experienced. Since the state of the facial muscles is easy to learn to manage, the display of emotions on the face is often tried to mask, or even imitate.

The sincerity of human emotion is usually indicated by symmetry in the display of feelings on the face, while the stronger the falsehood, the more the facial expressions of its right and left halves differ. Even easily recognizable facial expressions are sometimes very short-lived (fractions of a second) and often go unnoticed; to be able to intercept it, practice or special training is needed. At the same time, positive emotions (joy, pleasure) are more easily recognized than negative ones (sadness, shame, disgust).

The lips of a person are distinguished by special emotional expressiveness, which are not difficult to read (increased facial expressions of the mouth or biting the lips, for example, indicate anxiety, but a mouth twisted to one side indicates skepticism or mockery).

A smile on the face usually shows friendliness or a need for approval. A smile for a man is good opportunity show that he is in control of himself in every situation. A woman's smile is much more truthful and more often corresponds to her actual mood. Since smiles reflect different motives, it is advisable not to rely too much on their standard interpretation:

excessive smiling - the need for approval;

a wry smile is a sign of controlled nervousness;

a smile with raised eyebrows - a willingness to obey;

a smile with lowered eyebrows - showing superiority;

a smile without lifting the lower eyelids is insincerity;

a smile with a constant expansion of the eyes without closing them is a threat.

Typical facial expressions that communicate the emotions experienced are as follows:

joy: lips are twisted and their corners are pulled back, small wrinkles have formed around the eyes;

interest: the eyebrows are slightly raised or lowered, while the eyelids are slightly dilated or narrowed;

happiness: the outer corners of the lips are raised and usually laid back, the eyes are calm;

surprise: raised eyebrows form wrinkles on the forehead, while the eyes are dilated, and the parted mouth has a rounded shape;

disgust: eyebrows are lowered, the nose is wrinkled, the lower lip is protruded or raised and closed with the upper lip, the eyes seem to squint; the person seems to be choking or spitting;

contempt: the eyebrows are raised, the face is long, the head is elevated, as if a person is looking down on someone; he, as it were, moves away from the interlocutor;

fear: eyebrows are slightly raised, but have a straight shape, their internal corners shifted, horizontal wrinkles pass through the forehead, the eyes are dilated, and the lower eyelid is tense, and the upper one is slightly raised, the mouth can be open, and its corners are pulled back (an indicator of the intensity of emotion); when there is only the mentioned position of the eyebrows, then this is a controlled fear;

anger: the muscles of the forehead are drawn in and down, organizing a threatening or frowning expression of the eyes, the nostrils are dilated, the wings of the nose are raised, the lips are either tightly compressed or drawn back, assuming a rectangular shape and exposing clenched teeth, the face often reddens;

shame: the head is lowered, the face is turned away, the gaze is averted, the eyes are fixed downward or “run” from side to side, the eyelids are closed, and sometimes closed; the face is reddened, the pulse is quickened, breathing is interrupted;

grief: the eyebrows are drawn together, the eyes are dull, and the outer corners of the lips are sometimes somewhat lowered.

Knowing facial expressions during various emotions is useful not only in order to understand others, but also for the most thorough practice (usually in front of a mirror) of your working imitations.

Thus, if facial expressions are a movement of the muscles of the face, reflecting the internal emotional state of a communication partner, then the possession of facial expressions is necessary, in fact, for any person, but especially for those who, by the nature of their activities, have numerous contacts with people.

What do eyes and eyes say?

A special role in communication is given to the first glance. The moment when the partners meet and greet each other is accompanied by the first eye-to-eye look. Our conscious perception of another person always occurs through direct eye contact. If the ritual gaze is not observed, the interlocutor usually feels ignored or offended. It is unlikely that he can counteract the offended feeling: "You do not take me into account as it should."

An experienced interlocutor always strives to greet his partner with an open look into his eyes. And later, in a conversation, often looks into the eyes of the interlocutor to emphasize the meaning of his words. You should also not forget that:

a look contributes to suggestion in the same way as words;

interrupting eye contact when talking for a long time can lead to the termination of the conversation;

when one partner speaks, an experienced listener does not allow a duel with the eyes, as this can breed aggressiveness.

Use the language of sight correctly. It is no coincidence that they say that the eyes are the mirror of the human soul. The language of the gaze can tell a lot, or rather, about the true feelings of your interlocutor.

The look of a person and the associated eye signals are directly related to the veracity of the information that is spoken aloud.

According to its specificity, a look can be:

business - when it is fixed in the forehead area of ​​​​the interlocutor, which implies the creation of a serious atmosphere of business partnership;

secular - when the gaze falls below the level of the interlocutor's eyes (to the level of the lips), which contributes, as the researchers note, to the creation of an atmosphere of secular, relaxed communication;

intimate - when the gaze is not directed directly into the eyes of the interlocutor, but below the face - at the body to chest level. Experts say that such a view indicates a somewhat greater interest in communication;

a sidelong glance, which, as a rule, speaks of a suspicious or critical attitude towards the interlocutor.

Not many of us know what physiognomy is, and so, it is a science, or rather an unfounded doctrine, which is directly focused on determining the character of a person and his spiritual qualities based on analysis characteristic features face, head features and facial expressions. So in China and Japan, this art was especially developed in the Middle Ages. In these countries, schools were created where the human face was carefully studied, and it was studied literally in every millimeter, while paying attention to every bump, redness or blanching of the skin. And already after, based on the accumulated material, physiognomists tried to determine the character of a person and even determine his fate.

Article plan:

Principles of physiognomy

Many scientists tried to prove the fact that it is necessary to study physiognomy, but, unfortunately, today this science is considered frivolous. But still, the study of the connections between a person’s character traits and his thoughts, as well as the expression of his face, is necessary primarily for artists and actors, as well as for those people whose work is directly related to people, that is, investigators, teachers, sellers, etc. .d.

Four of the available five sense organs are directly located in the face area, it is with their help that we receive information about the world around us. Eyes, ears, nose and mouth act as peculiar antennas, it is with their help that we perceive the information that is happening around us. Basically, a person perceives this information most strongly at the age of five or up to six years. This is even clearly visible on the face of the child, many, most likely, paid attention to the fact that children have large open eyes, sometimes it seems that he wants to see everything at once, ears that hear everything in the world, a nose that tries to feel everything smells, even the most subtle, the mouth, where he sends everything that just comes under his hands, it is these sense organs that help the children to call for the surrounding information.

Unfortunately, over time, the sharpness of feelings passes, becomes dull, and an adult already loses the ability to notice everything that previously brought him so much joy and surprise, this, in turn, is the result of the fact that a person gets used to the world around him, to its influence, and these he does not need sensitive antennas. As for the human psyche itself, it, in turn, becomes rigid, and this is directly reflected on the person's face. That is, the reduction process begins, that is, the eyes lose their brilliance, become a little sunken, they are no longer interested in what is happening around, the face loses its mobility, and the mouth takes the form of a narrow gap. The character of a person becomes closed, and he gradually withdraws into himself. For each person, such changes occur at a different speed, regardless of age, for someone the face begins to change only by the age of seventy, while for someone such changes have already occurred at twenty.

For a person whose face quickly lost its liveliness, pessimism is characteristic, he already treats everything new with fear, and endures changes rather painfully. His character is characterized by the manifestation of the traits of an introvert. It is quite difficult to persuade such a person to do something that could. Such people tend to think by the age of forty that life is over and they just have to wait in the wings. But people with this type of character are quite rare. Basically, people with this behavior suffer from some kind of illness, or suffer for some reason, but when all the bad things that happen to him end, this person is quite a short time transforms right before your eyes. He is getting younger, his antennas begin to work with renewed vigor, receiving signals from the outside world, and he is again interested in everything new.

You can often meet people in old age who, despite their gray hair,. The faces of such people are often not subject to reduction and, accordingly, their antennae do not close until old age. By the type of their character, these people are extroverts, in their hearts they always remain big children. They quite easily find a common language with others, it is easy for them to make new acquaintances, but at the same time it is very easy for them to quit what they have started in order to do something more interesting and informative. Such people are distinguished by open and brilliant eyes, due to which they are often very popular in society.

Nowadays, a lot of attention is paid to the language of facial expressions and gestures. This method information is considered natural. All of us quite often pay attention to the body movements of other people, and in this case it is worth noting that they not only carry information that our mind perceives, but are also able to influence another person. It is due to this that sign language has become quite widespread in the field of politics and business. Using gestures and facial expressions, people are much more interested in people in this or that matter, which in turn helps to make presentations much more efficiently, captivate the audience with their speech, etc.

As for the direct perception of the gestures and facial expressions of the surrounding people, it is they who determine our reaction and attitude towards those people. It is necessary to learn to better understand the bodily signals given and to correctly use this knowledge, applying it to more effective interaction with people.

When communicating, in addition to spoken phrases, a person makes many subtle or noticeable gestures, which are also not made senselessly, they also express his point of view on these circumstances. Each of the interlocutors perceives these gestures on a subconscious level, but basically our consciousness does not lend itself to their rational analysis. By learning such a hidden language, one can read all the hidden information.

Scientists believe that this ability to read other people's thoughts by facial expressions and gestures is characteristic of all people. Due to external signs, starting from facial expressions and up to the adopted posture, it will help to guess about the intentions and feelings of this or that person.

It is possible to read the information that gestures and facial expressions speak about due to the fact that, regardless of the cultural level of people and specifically any person, the words and, accordingly, the movements accompanying them coincide with such a degree of predictability that a well-trained person, even by voice, can determine which the movement will be made by his interlocutor during the pronunciation of a particular phrase.

The ability to communicate with other people, understanding their psychology, intentions and interests dominates in any communication. A person who knows how and can put himself in the place of another person and understand him will always be lucky in life.

The very shape of his face says a lot about the character of a person. Basically, it is classified into four types: 1) round; 2) square; 3) triangular; 4) rectangular; 5) trapezoidal.

Types of faces and their characteristics

The round type of face is characterized by an expansion in the middle part, in the cheekbones and neck. The dimensions of the face in this case are very close both horizontally and directly vertically. Roundness is observed in the area of ​​the lower jaw, chin and temporal cavities.

The shape of this type of face characterizes people with heavy weight. If at the same time a person has a small nose, then this characterizes him as a carefree nature that loves life's comfort. A person with such traits is a great gourmet and lover, by nature he is very soft and peaceful, gentle. People with a round face do not aspire to high position or fame, because they are more materialistic. Basically they are not ambitious. People with a round face, penetrating eyes, prominent cheekbones and a high bridge of the nose are thinkers, with a characteristic ordered mind.

The square face itself is wide in the middle part and cheekbones, the lower jaw is much heavier, wider, and the angles of the lower jaw are pronounced. The square shape of the face is characteristic of a courageous, rude, thin type of people who have a rather quick temper. Such a person is by nature a great fighter, a leader. As a rule, they are stubborn, persistent, slow-witted, resolute both in business and in love, have an immediate desire for success and are good performers. If a woman is endowed with such a face shape, then she, in turn, is a stubborn rival in any business, in family life she occupies a dominant position.

The trapezoidal face has the form of a compressed upper part, in the area of ​​the temples, while the lower part of the face is heavier, and the angles of the lower jaw are sharply expressed and deployed.

This face shape indicates that this person is quite artistic, intelligent and receptive, but, unfortunately, he lacks a fighting spirit. Women with this type of face are mostly very loving, their family life is always happy.

The triangular face has the shape of a pointed chin, lower jaw area.

This form indicates that a person is busy with himself and hypersensitive. This face shape is found in intelligent people, smart, quirky, cunning, devoid of affection and devotion, jealous. Triangular-faced people can be excellent scientists, philosophers, or artists, but they can also be shameless businessmen, traitors, and spies.

An elongated face is characterized by an elongated chin and a high forehead, in this case, the vertical dimensions win, in contrast to the horizontal ones.

An elongated or rectangular face shape needs the same width of the jaw and forehead. It is also called the aristocratic face shape. Such a face is characteristic of a sensitive, intelligent, far-sighted and prudent, calm and just man. People with this type of face are endowed with excellent organizational talents and are excellent at working with other people in order to achieve their goals. Basically, these people achieve success in life.

Combined face shapes

Oval face - has a smooth outline, especially the chin, cheekbones and lower jaw. Such a face is usually called a classic or ideal.

Rhombus face - this type of face is characterized by strongly protruding cheekbones, which in turn are outlined by subzygomatic depressions, a narrow forehead. In the upper region at the temples and lower - the chin and jaw, parts of the face narrows, but expands in the cheekbones.

As for the facial muscles themselves, they can also tell a lot, depending on whether they are relaxed or tense. People who are characterized by hypertonicity of facial expressions, or in other words, great muscle tension, which in turn can be manifested in all kinds of twitches and tics, as a rule, have a lot of problems that disturb him. These problems can be both real and far-fetched, it doesn’t matter anymore, the main thing in this case is that they don’t let you forget about yourself for a minute.

Because of this, often such fears do not give a person the opportunity to make new decisions that completely change the situation, he is afraid that everything that he built with such difficulty will collapse and, as a result, he will have to start all over again. But, despite this, such people are quite energetic, in the case when they are confident in the success of a new business, they take on it with great enthusiasm, they are quite easy to climb, in addition to this, they have a much stronger ability to accept different kind decisions, and they are much more in need of communication.

And a person who has relaxed muscles, that is, with hypotonicity of the face, behaves in a completely different way. This type of face is characterized to some extent by pronounced sagging of the cheeks, sleepy, half-closed eyes, a slightly open mouth, and the expression of complete indifference is mainly on the face. The thoughts of such people flow more slowly, and actions are devoid of enthusiasm and energy, if they do something, then only because it is necessary, if it were their will, then they would hardly do anything at all.

They do not want to solve any problems, and, in fact, they do not have those. They let everything take its course, so that it resolves itself. It should also be noted that muscle hypotonicity and hypertonicity is only a reflection of the state of the human nervous system, its immediate stability and excitability. Accordingly, the higher muscle tone, the easier it is to get excited nervous system, and the faster hypertonicity is replaced by hypotonicity, the less stable it is. Such differences are mainly observed in people with an affective type of face.

The affective type of face is characterized by a somewhat rough face, too uneven, with sunken cheeks, prominent cheekbones, and with many protrusions and depressions, which are directly left by strong emotions that arise quite often. A person with this type of face quite easily enters into a state of passion, namely, when strong emotional arousal appears, it happens to him quite often, he cannot control it.

This type of face can directly belong to both an introvert and an extrovert, and equally. This manifests itself in extroverts with open faces, and in introverts with reduced faces, affects, of course, manifest themselves in different ways. For example, if an extrovert has anger, anger and resentment very emotionally and violently spills out, then for an introvert negative emotions find their manifestations in emotional experiences, for a long time, corroding his soul.

It is customary for physiognomists to mentally divide human faces into three parts, the first is called vital, comes from the word vita - life, it shows how strongly a person defends his right to exist. This part directly includes the chin, which perfectly makes it clear to what extent a person uses his strong-willed qualities in order to achieve his goal. It is clearly seen that when a person needs to defend his point of view, he unconsciously begins to strain the muscles of the lower part of the face, therefore, the more often and more successful person defends his rights, the more developed his chin.

But a harmoniously developed chin can already tell a lot about its owner, namely that this person basically achieves his goals, although he is able to abandon the goal if he sees that it is inappropriate. A person who has a well-developed chin, often has a square shape, achieves his goal by any means, rushing to the breach like a tank, this person cares little about what remains after he reaches the target. It is typical for him to storm new and new heights. But as for the small chin itself, which can be said to be soft to some extent, such a person can easily deviate from his plan, just imagining what difficulties and obstacles may be associated with this. But this may not happen, especially if a person is ruled by a strong desire, or, conversely, unwillingness to achieve something.

The second zone is called emotional, it directly includes the cheekbones, nose, cheeks, mouth. The most mobile part of the human face is the mouth, as it is the first to react to various changes in the emotional background, reflecting the emotions that a person is currently experiencing, even if it lasts only a couple of seconds.

Such emotions as joy, anger, resentment, contempt, etc., expresses the bend of the lips, even when their owner is in control of himself and tries to hide his mood from those around him, anyway, any emotion will be reflected on his face for a moment, mostly in the mouth area, so you should be very careful and not miss this moment. If you saw that your interlocutor is biting his lips slightly, then in this case, this means that at that moment he is thinking about something, and quite tensely, but whether to interrupt his thoughts or not depends directly on you.

In the event that a person is in some kind of critical situation, he can bite not only his lip, but also his tongue. Also, his nose conveys the feelings of a person very well. During excitement, and of any origin, the wings of the nose begin to swell. If a person sees something that annoys him, then the nose in this case wrinkles.

In addition to the lips, the mouth also includes two nasolabial grooves, a chin groove and the corners of the mouth.

Depending on the incision of the oral fissure, the mouth can be small or large, and as for the corners of the mouth itself, they can be lowered or raised.

If a person has a wide mouth and a square face, then this indicates that the person is authoritative and has the talent of an organizer.

If the mouth is large and does not close tightly, then this, in turn, indicates that this is an indecisive and careless person.

If a woman has a large mouth, then she is more likely to show great abilities for a career career than for domestic work.

In the presence of a wide mouth on a full solid base in people with a large bone structure, it indicates that the person is aggressive and ambitious, adventurous, indifferent to his defeats and successes.

A person with a small mouth can be said to be constantly engaged in the struggle for existence, has a weak shy character who does not dare to take responsibility. A protruding mouth (the mouth of a person is considered in profile with closed lips) - indicates that the person is active and decisive, has a quick mind.

Characteristics of a person by his lips

If the lower and upper lips overlap one another and the lower lip is protruding, then this indicates that a person is selfish by nature and may be unsuccessful in marriage.

In the case when the upper and lower lips overlap one another and the protruding lip is the upper lip, this indicates that the person is vain and indecisive, has an insatiable libido and often starts extramarital affairs.

If the line between the lips bends downward, then this characterizes a person as stubborn and self-centered, who lends himself to being liked only with the help of praise and flattery.

The presence of thin lips, poorly closed and corresponding to each other, says about a person that he does not have special business ambitions, he is characterized by criminal inclinations.

In the case when the line between the lips curves up in the middle, this indicates that the person is agile and resourceful.

A wide, coarse, long upper lip and a pointed or small lower lip indicate that these people are bad businessmen who can become victims quite easily.

What will the nose tell us?

And he says the following:

• Oddly enough, but the nose controls the fate of a person from about 41 to 50 years old, it is during this period of life that the question of success or failure of the individual is decided.
• So, the owner of a long nose, the following main character traits appear - unsuitability for business enterprises and conservatism. They have elements of contemptuous-arrogant behavior, they have the ability for intellectual achievements (in the field of science or technology).

• A skinny, bony nose indicates that it is very difficult for a person to concentrate. In the case when the nose is located quite high in accordance with the face as a whole, then such a person can be said to be a very proud person, difficult to communicate and arrogant.

• If a person's nose has a weak back, then this person is endowed with chances for early success and, unfortunately, a late failure in life.
• A nose whose back widens in the middle and is only slightly covered with flesh, in combination with small nostrils and low cheekbones, this in turn indicates that a person has a somewhat banal and boring life, full of hard work and practically unrewarded.
• If the back of the nose has a slope to the side, then this indicates that, most likely, failures will haunt the person.
• A nose whose back is crossed with deep lines says that the fate of such a person will be to some extent connected with disasters.

• If the tip of the nose sags strongly, then this indicates a person's oversexuality. If the tip of the nose is pointed and not fleshy, then this indicates that the person is prone to betrayal and treachery.
• If the tip of the nose has the shape of an eagle's beak, then this is a vindictive person, we can say that to some extent he is obsessed with mania, that everyone constantly interferes with him. In the case when the tip of the nose has a slightly reddish tint, it indicates that its owner is lazy and unsteady, a careerist will not work out of him, but he is quite insightful and gifted with foresight.

• A nose that has a round and full tip, which covers a certain part of the groove above the middle of the upper lip, then this person has extraordinary energy, unlimited business acumen and a shrewd mind.

The ideal nose is considered to be a nose of normal length, balanced with the mouth, eyes and chin. There must be two deep lines on both sides of the mouth. Such a nose says about a person that he is honest, temperamental, sexually active, proud, active and having great authority.

The third zone of the face directly includes the upper part of the face, eyebrows, forehead and eyes, this part is called the intellectual. In the eyes of a person, the thought processes that take place in the head of a person, their speed and direction are always quite clearly displayed. Brilliant eyes and a lively look indicate that their owner is enthusiastic and passionate about some idea. And, accordingly, half-closed eyes with an extinct look indicate that a person is depressed or depressed. American scientists have found that people basically look in six different directions, it directly depends on what is happening at the moment in their brain.

For right-handers, it is typical, with some kind of memory or if they represent something, to direct their gaze up to the right, and for left-handers, respectively, up to the left. When remembering some kind of sound of music, the right-hander will direct his gaze to the right, and if he imagines some kind of sound, then to the left. The right-hander looks down to the left when he wants to remember a sensation, taste, smell, and looks in the opposite direction when he leads internal dialogue. As for the left-hander, the same thing happens to him, only in the opposite direction.

If you want to check who is in front of you, you can ask that person to remember some image or sound and look at the movement of his eyes accordingly. It is worth noting that in Chinese physiognomy, wrinkles that directly appear in the corners of the eyes, when laughing, are called the tail of a goldfish. And the larger and more magnificent this tail, it means that this person is sympathetic and kind. On the face of a person, it is not uncommon to notice two small vaults above the eyes, they are especially noticeable in people with great powers of observation. It is generally accepted that they mean a desire to help and increased attentiveness.

Quite often, but not in all cases, a large forehead is a sign of a great mind, but sometimes circumstances develop in such a way that a person cannot develop his intellectual potential. But it also happens that a rather smart person, in the field of knowledge, does not understand at all in another field. Therefore, with regard to the assessment of the mind, here with each person it is necessary to be quite careful. In adults, a furrow in the middle of the forehead can be clearly visible, which in turn indicates that he is an introvert and has a high degree of introspection. In the case when a person concentrates quite often, focusing on something, he accordingly forms several vertical folds above the bridge of the nose.

Eyes are like an open book, you can read a lot through them.

If a person has large balanced eyes with irises, then this person is conservative, calm and kind.

Proportionate eyes, but smaller than usual, indicate that a person is modest by nature, tries not to attract attention to himself, the personality is dim, stubborn and internally self-satisfied. Women with such eyes are characterized by purity and impregnability, married women remain loyal and faithful, but very jealous.

Proportionate eyes, but more than normal, say about a person that he is a sensual and receptive nature, domineering and courageous. Women with such eyes are characterized by an aesthetic face and inclinations.

Small eyes with small irises are inherent in people who are not satisfied with their position in life, they are grouchy and unwilling to accept the existing order, they are characterized by the manifestation of cruelty and the use of force to achieve their goals.

The eyes are raised up, which means a person is sensitive, courageous, greedy and decisive. If at the same time a person has a hooked nose and a low forehead, then these features are negative. Women with such an appearance are characterized by irrationality, jealousy and violence.

In the case when the outer corner of the eyes (the one at the temple) is sharp and long, then such a person is endowed with a strong mind and insight, ruthless and artistic.

Eyes slanted to the bottom indicate that the person is optimistic, good-natured, able to win favor.

If the corners of the eyes look down, then this person is calm, pessimistic and submissive by nature.

It would seem that eyebrows are just a trifle, but they also say a lot about the character of a person. They are directly thin, wide, fused at the bridge of the nose. If the eyebrow is short and thin, then this indicates that the person is alone in the struggle for life. If short eyebrows have an uneven or coarse structure, then this means a changeable career. Too thin and almost invisible eyebrows - characterizes its owner as slutty and cunning. Concerning general characteristics, then a thin eyebrow is primarily a sign of an amorous nature and a happy life in marriage.

If a person has the shape of an eyebrow that resembles a boomerang, then by nature he is an inventive and quite strong person, able to set in motion his ideas and turn them into actions, this is a self-confident and sexual nature. A woman with such eyebrows tries to take the initiative in love relationships, dominates in marriage, has a rather strong physical attractiveness.

In the case when the eyebrows are closely connected and form a horizontal line, they are sometimes so rigid that they can bunch up at their outer ends. A person with this type of eyebrows is characterized by resourcefulness and determination.

If the eyebrows are located obliquely, and practically converge in the middle of the forehead, then this person has excellent imagination, courage, and foresight. A woman is characterized at first by some violation of beauty, but later she will succeed in her career.

When both eyebrows and, accordingly, the eyes are at the same level, well balanced and proportional, this indicates that a person is by nature very good-natured, honest, serious, lucky, conscientious, and is in excellent relationships with society.

In the event that part of the eyebrows goes in the opposite direction, it indicates that this is a rather stubborn person, devoid of flexibility, uncompromising in relations with people.

The eyebrows join and form a heavy and thick line, characteristic of a straightforward person who does not consider the opinions of others. A woman with this type of eyebrows is endowed with a rather strong character, she does not have a penchant for housekeeping, most likely her marriage will end in divorce, but as far as career and professional activities are concerned, everything is fine here.

From the facial features of a person, as well as from his facial expressions, you can tell a lot about what mood a person has, what he thinks about, how he will behave in the future, but in order to be able to read it in the face, it is necessary to study the facial features well and possible further behavior.

Man is such an interesting creature that all manifestations of his essence, personality and feelings are perceived with interest. Facial expressions, for example, can tell a lot of interesting details about people, even if they themselves are silent. Gestures are also capable of betraying someone else's state. Watching people, you can learn a lot of interesting details that will help you deal with the truth or lies, emotions, mood and other features of others. The psychology of facial expressions is truly extensive. To study it fully, one article and even a book is not enough. Nevertheless, some rules and tips will help you learn at least elementary psychological "tricks" for use in the future.

General information and definitions

Physiognomy is the art of reading a person by his external signs, in particular by his face, his expression, features and facial expressions. It is possible to determine both internal qualities and some psychological data, as well as the state of health. This method cannot be called completely scientific, but many people are interested in it very seriously because of its certain validity.

Mimicry is a facial expression in which a person gives out his inner feelings, experiences, and other spiritual qualities.

Gestures are body movements, most often with the hand/hands, accompanying or replacing the words of the individual making them.

Posture is the position of the body. A person sits, stands or lies as he likes / convenient / comfortable for him.

Gestures, postures, facial expressions - all this plays an important role in people's lives. Not a single person can do without them, and therefore, if you learn to recognize them correctly, then life will become easier and more interesting. Facial expressions and gestures in communication are used everywhere and automatically, not everyone is able to control them. Thanks to this, more observant and attentive individuals have the opportunity to study people.

Face and facial expressions

What best tells about a person? Of course, the face. It is it that is able to give out a person with giblets when he experiences some kind of emotion, reacts to something, lies or tells the truth, etc. The facial expression language is rich and varied. It can be difficult to remember absolutely everything, but the elementary features of sincere joy, for example, or disappointment, can be kept in memory. And also learn to hide your own feelings.

Despite the fact that facial expressions and gestures of a person are closely interconnected, they will be considered separately. So let's go.

Reactions

The facial expressions of a person's face manifest themselves in different ways, and most often it can be seen in human emotions. The latter, in turn, are shown in reactions. Depending on their manifestation, you can find out what a person experiences from the information received. The difficulty lies in the fact that some are afraid, others do not want, and still others are embarrassed to show their own emotions. Because of this, you will have time to notice a quick, involuntary reaction that appears very first. Often, it is almost impossible to completely control it, especially for an unprepared person. Therefore, it is possible to determine the interlocutor, which he will most likely remove from his face in seconds, if you act quickly and extremely carefully.

Emotions

So let's continue. As mentioned just above, facial expressions in communication are manifested through the expression of emotions emanating from the reaction. Below are the most striking and significant of them, as well as ways to express them:

• Joy happiness. The eyebrows and lips are relaxed, the corners of the latter are raised on both sides, the cheeks are also raised, and there are small wrinkles in the corners of the eyes.
• Anger, irritation. The eyebrows are tense, brought together and lowered, the mouth is tightly closed. Often the teeth are brought together, as are the lips, the corners of which look down in anger or strong discontent.
• Contempt. smirk. The corner of the mouth on one side is raised and a slight squint is visible in the eyes.
• Astonishment. The lips and face are generally relaxed, the eyes are rounder than usual, the eyebrows are raised, and the mouth is parted.
• Fear. The eyebrows and upper eyelids are raised, and the lower ones are tense, like the whole face as a whole, the eyes are wide open.
• Sadness, chagrin. Slightly lowered upper eyelids and raised eyebrows, relaxed lips with corners looking down, as well as an empty, extinct look.
• Disgust. The upper lip is tense and raised, the eyebrows are brought together, forming a small fold, and slightly lowered, the cheeks also slightly rise up, and the nose is slightly wrinkled.

Among other things, pictures will help to deal with emotions. The facial expressions on them are depicted well, which clearly demonstrates the inner feelings and experiences of the depicted people. Smilies, by the way, are also not in vain invented. Often, their facial expressions are not bad, which is why they are in demand when trying to convey emotions via the Internet. After all, communication here mainly takes place in letters, which do not always succeed in conveying the sensations experienced at one time or another.

Human condition

Sometimes it is enough to observe people a little to see what they are. Facial expressions affect a person, and not only “one-time”, but for life. The brighter your interlocutor showed himself, the more you can find out about him.

— Large forehead most often have smart people. This does not mean that their knowledge is great in everything. Sometimes it happens that a person knows a lot of information in one area, but is completely ignorant in another. If your friend has a big forehead, but shows no signs of special intelligence, he may simply not have found his business yet.

— Brilliant eyes and a lively look mean a person's passion for someone / something. Usually this happens with curious kids who are interested in everything in the world. On the contrary, if a person’s gaze is dull and indifferent, it means that his state is depressed, perhaps close to depression.

— If a lot of wrinkles appear in the corners of the eyes when laughing, this means that the person is kind, cheerful and cheerful.

— Bitten lips indicate that a person likes to think and is most often nervous when making a decision. Sometimes people automatically begin to act in this way right in front of the interlocutor, because they cannot decide something.

— A firm, developed chin (often square) shows a person's strong will. Since people, when they achieve their goals (even in an argument), tense the lower part of the face, it begins to develop. With frequent victories, the chin becomes strong and firm, which proves a person’s ability to achieve their goals. Based on this, if the lower part of the face of the interlocutor is soft, weak and undeveloped, it can be assumed that it is easy to break it. He will not go to the end if a serious obstacle appears ahead.

— The more various bulges, irregularities, “hollows”, “protrusions”, etc. on the face (sunken cheeks, prominent cheekbones, for example), the more emotional and quick-tempered the person. He is easily able to fall into and vividly and vividly throw out his experiences on those around him.

Gesticulation

Both facial expressions and gestures in communication make it clear what and how a person says:

• Open palms signify trust and openness. If a person periodically exposes in front of you inside brushes, it means that he has nothing to hide from you, and he feels good in your society. If the interlocutor constantly hides his hands in his pocket, puts them behind his back, or makes other similar "secret" movements, he is probably not very comfortable. It can be either dislike for you, or guilt / shame for past actions.
• Hands located at the cheek mean thoughtfulness. Usually at such moments a person thinks hard about something, tries to figure out how to act in this situation, etc.
• With nervousness or, more likely, self-doubt, a person begins to touch either the neck or objects located on it, such as a pendant, chain, etc. In addition, he may begin to gnaw on the pen.
• A nod of the head signifies agreement. Sometimes people nod uncontrollably, thus informing on a subconscious level that they like someone else's opinion. Shaking your head, on the contrary, means that the person disagrees with you. Just like nodding, sometimes it happens automatically.

Poses

Open facial expressions and gestures in communication are, of course, good, but we must not forget about the postures of a person that he takes during a conversation:

How to recognize truth and lies by a person

That is why many are interested in the details of our article - everyone wants to know how to read the facial expressions of a person's face, how to see when they are blatantly lying to you, and when they are telling the truth. Some ways to expose a liar are given below, but remember that, perhaps, a liar knows about such tricks for a long time and knows perfectly well, and therefore uses them skillfully and deftly, deceiving others in such a way that

1. When a person tells a lie, his pupils constrict involuntarily. If you previously managed to notice the initial state of the interlocutor's eyes, then you will understand that he is cunning after the pupils are reduced.
2. When a person lies, he looks away. This happens due to the fact that he is subconsciously ashamed of the false information that he says.
3. When a person lies and knows about the previous method, he stares into the eyes. Most often, he is so “flirtatious” that he hardly even blinks. This is also capable of betraying a liar.
4. The gaze of a lying person moves from one object to another, not dwelling on one thing. Sometimes it's just a sign of nerves, but most often it's a lie.
5. Due to the compression of the zygomatic muscles, a lying person has a kind of half-smile-half-smirk on his face.
6. The direction of your gaze will also tell you whether you hear the other person tell you the truth or a lie. If a person looks to the right, most likely, you are presented with a lie, if to the left - the truth. However, this rule is valid on the condition that the speaker is right-handed, otherwise read the other way around.

Features of foreign language of facial expressions and gestures

Not everyone communicates in the same way as we do. Of course, this does not mean human language, but the language of gestures, postures and facial expressions. The list below, with specific countries and incorrect actions, will help you avoid getting into trouble with foreigners.

Asia. Watch your arms and legs. You should not touch someone else's head and hair first, because for Asians this is the most sacred thing in a person. The legs, in turn, also do not need to be dissolved, however, in general. Even an accidental touch (on any part of the body) can cause panic horror, and even anger on the part of Asians. This is because, unlike the head, the legs are considered the “lowest” that is in the human body.

Near East. Giving your thumb up is like kicking someone in the ass. Children, however, often show this gesture, thereby trying to annoy others.

Brazil. The gesture “everything is OK” (the thumb is connected to the index finger, forming a zero, and the remaining fingers stick out “out”) here has about the same meaning as our middle finger.

Venezuela. The gesture “everything is OK” here denotes homosexual affiliation.

Italy. Gesture "Goat" from rock music here denotes treason and bad luck. That is, if you show this sign to someone, you will hint that you consider him a complete sucker, whom the other half is cheating on. In northern Italy, you can't touch your chin either, because that means you're giving the person the middle finger.

Fiji. A handshake is considered a trademark of the republic, which is why you should not be afraid if the interlocutor holds your hand firmly and for a long time in his. This is just a sign of politeness, and it can really last a considerable amount of time, until the end of the conversation.

France. The gesture “everything is OK” here denotes homosexual affiliation, and scratching the chin is the same middle finger.

Conclusion

So, now you know what role facial expressions play in a person’s life, as well as gestures, postures and other physiological features that are difficult to control. Of course, professionals like FSB or FBI agents will not show themselves in delicate situations, but if your environment does not consist of such “cool” acquaintances, then you can always “read” a person and learn a lot about him.

Facial expressions are a classic field of study for the physiognomist. Not knowing its data means being subject to serious physiognomic mistakes. Often we happened to change, using the data of facial expressions, the diagnosis made by the study of forms.

Facial expressions are the main indicator of the speaker's feelings.

Facial expressions help to better understand the person with whom communication takes place. Facial expressions are also very important in relationships, as it allows you to figure out what feelings people experience in relation to each other. For example, raised eyebrows, wide eyes, downturned lips are signs of surprise; lowered eyebrows, curved forehead wrinkles, narrowed eyes, closed lips and clenched teeth indicate anger.

Drawn eyebrows, dull eyes, slightly lowered corners of the lips speak of sadness, calm eyes and raised outer corners of the lips - about happiness, contentment.

For any participant in communication, the ability to decipher the facial expressions of the interlocutor is very important. But at the same time, the ability to master facial expressions yourself, to make it more expressive, so that the interlocutor better understands intentions and motives, is no less important. This skill is especially necessary in the practice of business interaction.

While the morphological type is created in an investigative way, facial expressions are the result of education. If the Jupiterian in our example had spent his childhood in an environment where he would have been taught to want to express himself, he would not have become a neuropath and his facial expressions would have expressed a strong nature. This statement is a powerful encouragement for those who see signs of moral weakness in themselves. Improving our mental culture, we improve our nature, and this is a worthy goal.

People who are not subject to strong passions have calm facial expressions.

On the faces of eternally trembling people, as well as on the faces of eternally busy people, wrinkles often appear already in youth. The deeper the wrinkles, the more they emphasize the ideas they represent.

“The depth of the fold of any matter speaks of its frequent and everyday use,” Delestre noted.

Of course, one must be able to distinguish mental wrinkles from those that appear from rapid fattening.

The movements of the forehead are closely related to the movements of the eyebrows.

"The forehead of a good man," says Delestre, "carries the clarity of his conscience." If the forehead without wrinkles is the forehead of weak-willed, indecisive people. The forehead rises above their blond arched eyebrows, which are usually thin and emphasize the innocence of their owner and the lack of reactions from their passions.

Neuropaths have horizontal wrinkles on the forehead, which are the result of frequent raising of the eyebrows, the well-known gesture of constant surprise. Because of the smallest work, they wrinkle their forehead.

Balanced natures have on their forehead the smallest number of horizontal wrinkles, because they do not wrinkle in surprise: their forehead is wrinkled vertically in the area where intense, strong-willed attention is expressed, that is, between the eyebrows at the root of the nose. So, vertical wrinkles go hand in hand with horizontal and thick eyebrows. The depth of the vertical wrinkle and wrinkles generally determines the amount of mental control.

If the vertical wrinkle in question is very deep, it means a wayward and even violent will. In this case, it is accompanied by thick and naughty eyebrows. This type of forehead and eyebrows is found in people who are not amenable to any discipline. Delestre saw many such faces in prisons.
