Collection: Striking Impressions

Sort by:

Six faces. A face judged to be highly trustworthy is feminine, young, smiling; untrustworthy is masculine, frowning. Highly dominant is a middle aged masculine face with angular features, un-dominant is a round, feminine face. A face judged as attractive is a young feminine one, and a face judged as unattractive is an elderly feminine one.
