“…Aspects of facial contrast are sexually dimorphic, being greater in female than male faces (Jones et al ., ; Russell, ; Russell, Kramer, & Jones, ), while other aspects decline with age and are used as cues for perceiving age and health from the face (Porcheron, Mauger, & Russell, ; Porcheron et al ., ; Russell et al ., , ). Theorists have proposed that facial feature size mediates the effect of makeup on attractiveness (Bruce & Young, ; Morris, , ; Perrett, ; Zebrowitz, ), and recent work has shown that makeup does indeed make the eyes and eyebrows appear larger (Morikawa, Matsushita, Tomita, & Yamanami, ). Makeup can also make the nose appear smaller, through the use of contouring, but typically does not make the lips appear any larger (Jones, Porcheron, & Russell, in press).…”
