Facial Balance Mimics Life Balance​

If the eyes are the windows to the soul, your face is likely the map to your destiny – according to feng shui principles, that is. It is said that every feature, spot, mark and detail on your face bears significance. While there is no scientific evidence of face feng shui’s benefits on one’s wellbeing, a growing crop of facial aesthetic trends are uncannily aligned with face feng shui principles.
 
A “lucky face” in Face Feng Shui is a face that is well-balanced and has harmonious features. A face can be deemed “lucky” or “unlucky” based on the “mountains” and “rivers” of the face, which indicate wealth and fortune. We all desire a “lucky” face (fu xiang) that draws good fortune and luck. A face that is balanced on both sides and symmetrical indicates that the individual is well aligned to attract prosperity.
 
A strong jawline and full, arched eyebrows are considered positive aspects according to face feng shui.
 

How Do We Achieve Facial Harmony and Lift Harmony?

The ideal male jawline tends to be well-defined, with a clear distinction between the jaw and neck. It is proportional and in harmony with other facial features. Historically, masculinity has been associated with a chiseled, square jawline. It’s safe to say that men, more than women, are more apt to be described or noticed for their chins. And the descriptions of this feature go from “weak” to “strong,” which seems like more of a character assessment than a description. Such is the power of the chin. A study conducted in 2015 by a plastic surgeon found that a whopping 94% of the CEOs on the Fortune 500 list had chins that ranged from average to above average in prominence, and these are some of the most successful and influential men in the country. But we don’t need to study the male chin’s role in our society – we can easily turn to some of the wealthiest men in the world to see its impact.

94% Fortune 500 CEOs had average to above-average prominent chins.

While a strong chin can help promote masculinity, women also turn to chin implants to correct chins that are small or nonexistent, allowing the lower half of their faces to slope into their necks. While the implications of a strong chin versus a weak chin are quite clear in men, women can also be characterized based on the shape of their chins in terms of strength and weakness, just on a lesser scale.

Whether it’s biological drive or Hollywood fabricated, it’s hard to get around the fact that your chin is a feature that sets a tone. And if you’re not happy with what your chin is saying, we can help. If you’d like to explore how a more well-defined chin can help you make your way through the world, please use the online scheduler to book an appointment or complete our online form.

Forehead

The forehead signifies luck sent from heaven and is considered “the first prosperity mountain of the face.” A forehead that is smooth, round, prominent and wide indicates good fortune, power and wealth according to feng shui.

Droopy and sleepy-looking eyes caused by eye bags or dark circles signify lack of vitality and energy.

The nose is another wealth spot of the face signifying one of the “rivers” of the face. An ideal nose is said to be rounder and fleshier for more wealth luck. It should look balanced and smooth with no hump, and contain no spots or blemishes.
The mouth is the second “river” on the face. According to feng shui, plumper, fuller and rosy lips are deemed lucky for both men and women and are said to be able to attract wealth.
The chin is the second “mountain” of the face. A recessed chin with a jawline that lacks definition is not ideal. In men, a strong jawline also indicates a strong personality, masculinity and authority whereas a receding jawline indicates misfortune and weakness.
High cheekbones and fuller cheeks are highly desirable in welcoming greater wealth and prosperity into your life. Well-defined or prominent cheekbones that are fleshy are said to signify authority and success in one’s career.
