The human face is like an open book. And the one who knows how to read it can learn a lot of interesting things about the interlocutor, his thoughts and intentions.

Physiognomy - the science of reading by faces

The science of face reading is called physiognomy. According to experts, it originated in China many centuries ago. Some believe that facial features can predict the fate of their owner.

Despite the fact that it undergoes changes with age, the main features - eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips - remain unchanged, and sometimes become even more expressive.

Physiognomy is widely used knowledgeable people in many fields of activity. Regardless of nationality and race, age and gender, emotions always manifest themselves in the same way.

So, mentalists, or very attentive people, can "read" a person even before signing a business agreement or predict how important negotiations will end.

The main facial features with which physiognomists work

Specialists in the field of physiognomy are in great demand in business and the business world. In total, five main facial features are distinguished:

• eyes;
• brows;
• lips;

The main parameters of the nose

Let's dwell on the nose and take a closer look at its features. The nose is in the center of the face and is the most convex part of it.

The following parameters can be called decisive.

Length

• A long nose indicates the rigidity of a person.
• It very much hints at the possibility of great achievements in the intellectual sphere or at the capriciousness of this person, as physiognomy interprets this.
• means melancholy, such a person is distinguished by calmness, thoughtfulness and reliability.
• The owners of a short nose are open, positive and friendly people.

The form

• A thin and slightly angular nose can be a sign of poor concentration. If a small hump is added to this, the person is most likely proud and stubborn, he is not alien to some kind of aggressiveness and determination.
• A narrow nose is a hardworking person, but any benefits are not given to him easily and require exhausting work from him.
• Non-emotional and prudent individuals, as a rule, are owners of a nose with a flat back and wide wings.
• If a woman has a small nose, she is quite jealous, and if she is tall with a pronounced back, she can easily compete with any man for a high position in society, says the science of physiognomy.

nose tip

• If this part of the nose has a rounded shape, a person has every chance of becoming a prosperous and successful person.
• In the case when the tip of the nose sags - the person has hypersexuality.
• Physiognomy characterizes a sharp nose as a treacherous and unreliable nature.
• The tip of the nose, like the beak of an eagle, means vindictiveness.

• A full and big tip is kindness, friendliness, a tendency to act to the detriment of one's interests for the sake of others.
• An overly sagging tip, which already hangs over the upper lip, does not speak of a positive character, but indicates a tendency to betrayal.
• An upturned nose is interpreted by physiognomy as freedom from sexual prejudice and an inability to keep secrets.
• Rancor, suspiciousness and suspicion are the eternal companions of a person with a split-tip nose.

In general, physiognomy considers as many as 24 signs related directly to the nose, and this is about 576 different variations.

Nostril width

The width of the nostrils, like the shape and length of the nose, can tell a lot about a person's character. Their width determines the temperament of the individual. It is believed that a person with wide nostrils can inhale a large amount of air, which is the main source of life.

A person with wide nostrils is quickly inspired by an idea and is ready to take action at the same second, but cools down and deflates very quickly. Long-term goals are not his forte.

A person with narrow nostrils will become complete opposite the previous one. He qualitatively performs tasks that require a long time, and also has a balanced character, according to physiognomy.

A hooked nose endows its owner with a changeable disposition. Impermanence manifests itself in all areas of life. A lot of different ideas come to him, because of which a person rushes from one type of activity to another and cannot decide. In addition, such people are easily injured. Sometimes in the process of communication, they can rub their hump, from which it follows that some words touched a person to the quick.

Nostril shape

1. Triangular nostrils indicate caution and greed.
2. Square nostrils characterize an active, assertive and determined person who is ready to go all the way to achieve his goal.
3. The round shape of the nostrils, as a rule, belongs to creative individuals, inventors. Rationality is the main component of the character of such people.
4. Oval nostrils are a sign of adventurism and a thirst for adventure.

Big and perfect nose

An interesting and multifaceted science is physiognomy.

What should be Specialists define it as smooth, with a rounded tip and well-defined wings. Such a person is distinguished by courage, passion and determination.

But the so-called physiognomy attributes to open, friendly and cheerful people. They have a temper, and they also need approval and encouragement.

A split nose is in most cases a sign of a tyrant. Such a person combines suspicion, suspiciousness, as well as shyness and embarrassment. At the same time, he has an outstanding intellect and is able to solve problems that many people struggled with. A prime example of a man with a split nose was Joseph Stalin.

Nose color

The color of the nose, according to physiognomists, also plays a role in determining the character of a person.

For example, a shiny nose is considered a sign of future success and financial prosperity. Pink, gold, and peach-colored noses fall into the same category.

But the red color promises loss. An earthy or gray shade of the nose indicates hidden diseases, green - a person is not inclined to return monetary debts. Even such subtleties can be determined by looking at the human nose.

Physiognomy claims that the nose characterizes the life of a person aged 40 to 50 years. At this time, a person already occupies a certain position in society, and one can judge his possibilities in terms of building a career.

You can predict the nature of a person by the nose, but a lot also depends on the person himself. Even the most perfect nose that promises success will not help the alcoholic and drug addict to succeed. The most convenient part of the face, by which one can judge the character, is the nose. Physiognomy gives the basic concept of determining the inclinations of people, but is not one hundred percent effective, since human behavior depends on many factors.

The shape of the nose is what we pay attention to intuitively. A large nose is striking and alarming, an extraordinary one catches the eye. Upturned encourages not to take a person seriously. Let's talk in more detail about what noses are and what they can say about a person.

Which one is prettier?

Facial features, including the shape of the nose, are inherited by us. Men, as a rule, do not think about their beauty and correctness. But women give it a lot great importance. A protruding, large or hooked nose can cause embarrassment and complexes in women. However, an extraordinary, for example, aquiline or Greek nose makes the appearance more memorable, and even adds charm.
