The face is a rich source of information about human behavior and is often part of a psychic reading.
Facial displays indicate emotion, pain, brain function and pathology/health, and regulate social behavior.
Facial aging is linked to genetics and the life the person has lead. It is also affected by time spent outdoors.
Cosmetic surgery allows us to change and enhance our facial flaws thus reinventing our personality.
Early on in life we learn to recognize facial features and expression as a key to personality. Many people become skilled at analyzing personality types and disorders based on facial features, hair, and facial expressions, eye movements, and particularly nervous habits. One might view this as 'face reading' - reading someone's face. The more we experience in life, the better we get at reading faces and relating them to personality types.
The information below is general and not accurate in al cases. It is a brief overview of what you brain processes when meeting someone.
Facial analysis is not an exact science, but rather subjective, and open to many factors in a persons' life, from genetics to environmental influences.
The next thing one notices is a person's hair especially on a woman and if there is something special about it. To look young, keep your hair in a youthful color and style. Style, tecture, color, length reflect personality and personality disorders, from sexuality to homosexuality. Poeple who color their hair black, general suffer from depression. Astrological signs often link with hair, for example, someone with a Leo Sun, with generally have a thick mane of hair.
It all begins with the eye - consciousness and perception.
When 2 people meet, eye contact allows them, within a few seconds, to determine a connection or not. Eyes are the windows of the soul and reflect our inner self and issues.
Eye color is important, with light eye often more favorable then brown. The lighter the better. Uniquely colored eyes, lighter shades of blue, seem to trigger higher frequnecy spiritual significance for some.
The person who looks away or has has small squinty eyes is secretive and perhaps a dysfuntional personality, and someone who does not want to relate. In contrast, a wandering or shifty eye portends a nature given to unsettled and inconsistent habits.

Direct eye contact reflects a more functional personality, someone direct and honest.
Unevenly set eyes convey that the person is capable of seeing things from a different perspective and applying lateral thought processes to resolving problems - an analytic person at best.
With a balanced personality the person has one eye width between other eyes, it is even and thus balanced. Closer set eyes, to the nose, implies a more limited view of the world. This person may prefer codependent realtionshps, often remaining at home and not leaving the family in adulthood. This also goes to the person whose life path is parental caretaker. In this case, the person may feel heated in life, have emotional problems involving moods swings. Professional help should be sought.
People with eyes set wider apart, may be more open minded about life and reality. They often fall into the holistic sciences as a means of self awareness, and find themselves in creative careers that reflect their inner issues. They need space, to be sure and can move on with the drop of a hat. Some have learning challenges, but that does not mean you should be the one to point out their faults, or they will leave. Not bad as friend, but not good in relationships.
Deep set eyes go to a deep, intense personality. These are the observers who like creative things and inspiring others, with artistic expression. They are soul searchers, often here to make a difference with their endeavors. They are romantic and sometimes spontaneous. They are of sound judgement, compassionate and serious minded.
A philosopher's face may often also display a deepset soul window or heavy eyelids.
Eyelids
If you look at the eyelids of people through the millennia who were the seers, creative geniuses, writers, and more, you will note they all have heavy eyelids.
The shape of the eyebrows is easily altered with tweezing or waxing excess hair. One must note the end result to associate with personality type. Many people enhance their eyebrows with pencil or eye shadows. As people age, or if they are sick, the partail or full loss of one or both eyebrows is possible.
In general, a developed brow line shows a high degree of dexterity or ability with the hands (engineers, electronics, civil engineers, drafts persons and architects). Outgoing personalities have full, well shaped eyebrows. People who are observant and who have to combine refined measurements with dexterity will have the brow line well developed. The highly arched or ideal brow is thought of as a dramatic brow. The low set brow reveals an impulsive temperament while a higher brow signals a more cautious attitude to decision making. A single thick brow over the nose bridge is a sign of intensity and possessive or jealous nature. A straight brow is the sign of an aesthetic and sensitive temperament.
