Famous women are the source of inspiration because of their faces. The celebrity with the most beautiful face is Catherine Zeta Jones, according to experts.

"Of all the famous female faces," reported the Baltimore Sun, "hers was picked as the ideal feminine mug by facial plastic surgeons surveyed by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery."

Catherine's face has a gorgeous profile; it's a soft round shape. She has a perfect chin and was blessed with wonderful proportions. The composition of her face reveals her eyes about 1/3 of the way down from her forehead to her chin, and then her mouth 2/3 down. Her head is larger than average for a woman but it is no larger than some supermodels like Cindy Crawford.

"While beauty may be in the eye of the beholder," says Shan Baker, AAFPRS president, "there's a real mathematical equation for measuring a person's attractiveness."

Celebrities with beautiful faces usually get modeling contracts with cosmetics companies. Catherine Zeta Jones has modeled for Elizabeth Arden.

Kristen Kreuk is a popular young Canadian actress with pretty eyes and a very beautiful clean face. Her friendly round face has extremely clean and clear skin everywhere. It's one of her obvious and coveted beauty features so she was a natural choice for Neutrogena. After signing with the top beauty brand, she continued to live a healthy life and became the company's longest-serving spokesmodel.

Hollywood Beauty

A Woman's Face (1941) is the story of a girl who was disfigured as a child. She grows up bitter at her father for saving her, only to leave her facing the world with a serious scar. Though she lived, she died inside. The resentment over the way she was treated by people who saw the scar on one side of her face grew and she turned to a life of crime as a blackmailer.

Joan Crawford plays the role of Anna Holm in moving fashion in one of her finest theatrical performances. She once said her performance in A Woman's Face set the stage for her Oscar win for Mildred Pierce. As you watch this film you can really feel Anna's pain within and struggles with people. But we also get to see how a transformed face by plastic surgery can change a woman. What happens when the bandages come off? What happens to her face? What happens to her spirit?

Caution

One thing everyone who considers plastic surgery has to ask is whether they really need any adjustments. Supermodels are held up as the standard of beauty, but they aren't perfect. Much was made about Cindy Crawford's facial mole, but her chin isn't perfect, either. It's slightly longer on one side, but she never did anything about it, and it wasn't necessary.

One facial aspect to consider when you think about plastic surgery is not just your front profile but also the side profile. Cindy Crawford always stood out as a model whose face looked beautiful from the side as well as the front.

"I have a very simple, healthy life, which works miracles. I drink a lot of water, watch what I eat and exercise. But I owe the quality of my skin to my cosmetic surgeon."

Flattering Hairstyles Based on Female Face Shape

In choosing a hairstyle, face shape is probably the most important physical factor. It's usually more important than head size; neck length; skin color; hair texture; and hair color.

If you see a celebrity whose hair you like, the next thing to do is compare your face shape with hers. Is it the same or similar?

Women's faces have been categorized into five different face shapes: 1) oval; 2) round; 3) square; 4) heart; and, 5) long.

You can see new celebrity hairstyles for all these female face shapes photographed at Hollywood events and presented in hair magazines at Hairstyles 2010.

Oval

Jennifer Aniston is known more for her hair than her face, although she has one of the most recognized faces in the Western world, and was actually tied for third best face in the survey which Catherine Zeta Jones won. She has a unique face shape with sharp angles and a prominent chin, but its shape is generally classified as oval.

Square

Mandy Moore has been a Neutrogena cosmetics model like Kristin Kreuk. She has always had clear skin, she has admitted, and never had any skin care issues as a teen. She does have a small mole, however, on her cheek just across from her nose. Like Cindy Crawford, this has never been an issue for modeling and she's never felt the need to remove it. (It's much less conspicuous.)

Mandy Moore has a square face shape and a strong chin that is also a bit square. She has worn long and short hairstyles. Even though short ones can draw attention to a square chin, hers were very popular several years ago when she was a teenager.

Long (Oblong)

Sarah Jessica Parker has a long face. She has been criticized as having a horse face. Google indeed offers a search suggestion: "Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a horse" and jokes along those lines! She does wear long hairstyles as the photo below shows, but these tend to add emphasis to a long face.
