Ever found yourself looking at someone's face and wondering about the stories it holds? 

Face reading, rooted in ancient practices like physiognomy, dates back to the 5th century BC in Athens and spans ancient Greece and China. While facing periods of acceptance and rejection in the West, it thrived as an integral part of tradition in the East, particularly in China, starting around 3,000 years ago.

"In face reading, we don't read only one part of our face to determine a person's luck or character. We need to read as a whole. Different parts of our face symbolise different aspects of a person's luck or fortune,” says Master Alex Low, founder of The Meta Services, a Chinese Metaphysics consultant with over 14 years of experience.

According to him, changes in facial appearance over time, such as ageing, can indeed alter face reading interpretations. "To enhance lucky facial attributes, consider caring for your skin with regular facials, suitable skincare products, and exercises to boost blood flow and radiance.”

Master Alex emphasises that while appropriate makeup and grooming can boost confidence, altering your appearance through plastic surgery or makeup doesn't fundamentally transform your personality or destiny. He notes that it merely influences how others respond or react to you, and in turn, your character may evolve based on these new reactions and responses.

It can also be a tool for self-reflection, understanding, and being more aware of each person's unique qualities. Master Alex highlights that face reading isn't just about predicting the future but also understanding the present.

Below, he shares insights into the interpretations associated with various facial features.

Key facial features that contribute to good fortune

A fleshy chin…is linked with good fortune and having strong benefactors in your life 

3/9

Illuminate it: Create the illusion of a plumper chin by applying a highlighter or a lighter shade of foundation. Alternatively, you can also sport a bold lipstick to draw attention away from your jawline. 

A smooth, blemish-free forehead…is said to be an indicator of prosperity, power and wealth

4/9


Conceal it: Lightly tap on concealer with a flat brush or ring finger to areas of your face that require more coverage. Work in thin layers and gradually build the product up. Complete your look with a light dusting of loose powder. 

A high forehead… is considered a sign of intelligence, wisdom, and longevity.

5/9

Style it: Enhance your forehead by keeping your hairline clean. Consider hairstyles that showcase this feature, like a headband to pull your hair back or an updo or ponytail that draws your fringe back.

High-arched and angled eyebrows… are associated with strong determination, outgoing, and expressive personality.

6/9

Shape it: Enhance high-arched and angled eyebrows with careful shaping. Use an eyebrow pencil or powder to fill in and emphasise their natural shape for a bold, expressive look.

Large, bright, clear, and well-defined eyes… are linked with vitality, positive energy, intelligence, expressive emotions, and financial success.

7/9

Highlight them: Accentuate your eyes with eyeliner to define your eye shape and mascara to add volume and length to your lashes. Try adding a touch of shimmer eyeshadow on the inner corners of your eyes or a white or beige coloured eyeliner on the waterline of your eyes to make them look brighter and clearer.

A straight, prominent nose with a firm structure… is associated with good fortune, financial success, leadership, authority, and strong determination.

8/9

Contour it: Shape your nose subtly with makeup tricks to highlight its natural shape. Use a contour shade on the sides and a highlighter down the bridge to create definition and prominence. Remember to blend it well so that it looks natural, not streaky.

Well-shaped and rosy lips; upper lips should be thicker than lower lips… these features are linked with good communication skills, social charm, wealth, and financial success.

9/9

Accentuate them: Lip care is a must. Use a lip scrub followed by a balm to keep them smooth and supple. Then define your lips with a lip liner and use lipsticks or glosses in rosy or nude tones to enhance the natural beauty of your pout
