"Michael from 2Blowhards has pointed out that “Jawlines and cheekbones do supply beautiful canvases for makeup artists, and do take the light beautifully.” However, feminine jawlines and feminine cheekbones serve make-up artists well and also reflect light adequately. Besides, if it were necessary to bring out the finer details of the models’ facial features while they are on stage, one wouldn’t see plenty of pale high-fashion models such as in Fig 12, whose eyebrows and eyelashes can hardly be seen from a distance under normal lighting. For comparative purposes, one will almost never see a pale fitness model on stage during competition; if the model couldn’t tan, she would apply a fake tan and use make-up to define her eyebrows and eyelashes. Interestingly, note that the pale high-fashion model in Fig 12 has compressed gonial angles, usually found among feminine women, but is clearly masculinized overall; her compressed gonial angles reflect an ethnic trait that is most extensively seen among Scandinavians. It is very clear that fashion designers generally tend to have a preference for Northern European features in their models and are apparently not too concerned about a feminine-looking gonial region if the face is masculinized overall and the features are Northern European.
God that article is so dense and has so much jargon. I don't know about most people, but when I'm not doing reserach I expect papers to be *easy* and *simple* to read...
