“…One possible reason is that faces with oily and shiny skin gave a less healthy impression because such skin features low diffused reflection and high specular reflection induced by rough texture, less moisture, and poor blood circulation [17]. In addition, oily and shiny skin is a cause of concern for females when the foundation wears off [20]. In this study, images of entire oily and shiny faces provided weak impression of ‘Likable’ than those with oily and shiny cheeks.…”

“…This result may be interpreted as oily and shiny gloss on the T‐zone inducing a negative effect. Torizuka et al claimed that females are concerned about deteriorating foundation specifically on the T‐zone because of the secretion of sebum [20]. This implies that personal experience influenced the link between images of oily and shiny faces, and negative impressions.…”

“…In contrast, to generate strong specular reflection characteristics, light that was not diffused was used. A previous study on the relation between impressions of facial skin and skin biology [25,26], and deterioration in makeup [20] suggests a positive correlation between the impression of facial shine (oily, shiny gloss) and the amount of facial sebum. Therefore, cosmetics containing large amounts of oil in the base material were applied to the facial skin to generate specular reflection characteristics for oily and shiny faces.…”

“…Although facial radiance can create a good impression [10], another type of reflection, so called ‘oily and shiny gloss’, may make a bad one [19‐21]. Torizuka and co‐workers [20] have shown that females are conscious of shiny skin when their makeup deteriorates. Fujii and colleagues reported that increasing and decreasing the luminance contrast in the high‐frequency band of facial images resulted in increasing and decreasing negative impression of the face, respectively.…”

Objective Facial attractiveness has been reported to be influenced by visual features such as facial shape and the colour and texture of the skin. However, no empirical studies have examined the effects of facial skin radiance on facial attractiveness. The present study investigated whether types of skin reflection (i.e. radiant, oily and shiny, and matte) and the position of the reflection on the face influence facial attractiveness and other affective impressions. Methods A total of 160 female participants (1) estimated the ages and (2) evaluated attractiveness and other impressions of unfamiliar female faces in a total of seven skin reflection conditions. These conditions incorporated three types of reflection (i.e. radiant, oily and shiny, and matte) and three positions of the reflection on the face (i.e. entire facial skin, only cheeks, and only T‐zone). Results The facial images of radiance on entire faces were rated as appearing younger than the facial images of oily shine on entire faces and the matte faces. Attractiveness ratings and other positive impressions increased in the order of the matte (ranked lowest), the oily shine on entire face, and the radiance on entire face (ranked highest) conditions. The reflection position also influenced facial attractiveness: attractiveness ratings and other positive impressions were higher in the radiance on entire face condition than in the radiant cheeks and the radiant T‐zone conditions. Interestingly, the radiant cheek faces were rated more radiant and healthier but less feminine and less bright than the radiant T‐zone faces. Conclusion These results suggest that facial radiance enhances facial attractiveness and conveys a wide variety of positive impressions on the observer. The magnitude of the effects of cheek radiance and T‐zone radiance differs across various affective impressions. Nevertheless, the results demonstrate that cheek and the T‐zone radiance both contribute to higher attractiveness and other positive impressions of the radiance on entire faces. We believe that our findings can contribute as a guide to the enhancement of positive facial impressions by means of skin radiance, thereby leading to a better understanding of the value of skincare and base makeup.
