Ever wondered what the perfect face looks like?

Scientists have solved the problem by profiling the looks of the most beautiful man and woman in the world.

The results are from a UK study where Dr Chris Solomon, from Kent University, used facial mapping technology to compose the features of the fairest of them all.

A computer programme usually used by police to draw up e-fits of criminals was used in the two-month study, where Dr Solomon asked participants to put together a composite of the ‘perfect face’, before these portraits were judged by others.

Scientist then used the information to pull together the perfect man and woman, taking into consideration the thickness of lips, nose length and width, and hairline.

The ‘perfect’ faces were then compared to famous people and the celebrities that shared the most characteristics with the composites were actress Natalie Portman and British male model David Gandy.

Dr Solomon said the study, which was commissioned by Samsung for the launch of its new Galaxy S6 phone, showed "some interesting results about what Brits consider to be the epitome of beauty".

He said if the study was done in a study in Asia or Africa, it would have vastly different results.

"For the male face of beauty, women drew a more feminine face than men - women rate a softer jaw-line, slimmer face, fuller lips and clean-shaven look as the most attractive, compared to the more masculine appearance that is considered the most attractive by men," Dr Solomon said.

"Interestingly, for the female face of beauty women rated a sexier appearance as the most beautiful than their male counterparts - women perceived fuller lips, a slimmer face, larger eyes and higher cheekbones as the most beautiful, more so than the male population."
