# Beauty is a proxy for simplicity Apparently, we all build our own representative model of what a human face should look like. Then, when we see a new face, we instinctively compare it to our human face model: **the closer the new face is, the more beautiful we find it**. That is why symmetrical faces with few to no imperfections seem the most beautiful. An explanation could be that **==since they deviate less from our model, they are easier to process for our brain==**. --- ## 📚 References - [What makes a pretty face?](https://www.snexplores.org/article/what-makes-pretty-face)
