The science of beauty has placed Anya Taylor-Joy, Bella Hadid and Margot Robbie among the top ten most attractive women in the world, according to Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi, which measures physical perfection.
But these stunning starlets haven’t always looked like they do today – with Hollywood’s best skincare and make-up on hand to have elevated their appearance.
Striking before and after photos show how the actresses and models have transformed their faces over the years, with the power of cosmetics experts, stylists and hairdressers behind them.
The ‘golden ratio’ refers to a specific mathematical ideal which uses set measurements to determine how aesthetically pleasing something is.
In terms of beauty standards, the theory suggests that the gap between the nose, mouth and eyes on a person’s face directly correlates to beauty.
It’s important to note that beauty is of course, subjective, and refers to people of all shapes, sizes and facial features.
How is the golden ratio used?
Beauty experts at London Facial Plastic Surgery have explained that the ratio is used to identify the ‘most appealing face features’.
Dr Julian De Silva explained: “At my clinic, we use digital mapping to study facial aspects like eyes, lips, and nose.
“We then set these against the Golden Ratio to determine the most pleasing features.
“We use a software to analyse face photos, measuring aspects like the gap between the nose, eyes, and lips. These measures are then matched with the Golden Ratio to gauge their similarity.
“Typically, the method marks crucial spots on a face, like eye corners, mouth corners, and the nose tip. The program then uses these markers to figure out facial proportions and ratios. It then contrasts these with the perfect proportions from the Golden Ratio.”
