No two faces are alike in the exact same way, not even twins. Faces are also sources of attraction.

The face as a means of recognition

The face is widely recognized as the feature which distinguishes one individual from another, often at first glance, with the exception of identical twins; for example, it is a person's face that often appears on one's driving license, and the faces of famed people or national heroes which are usually depicted on money.

Likewise, caricatures often exaggerate facial features to make a face easily recognizable in association with a pronounced portion of the face of the individual in questionâ€”for example, a caricature of Adolf Hitler might focus on his moustache and hairdo; a caricature of George W. Bush might enlarge his ears, and a caricature of Jay Leno may pronounce his chin and hairdo. Exaggeration of memorable features helps people to recognize others when presented in a non-photographic form.

Anatomy

On the front of the facepiece a line drawn down from the supraorbital notch between the bicuspid teeth to the side of the chin will cut the exit of the second division of the fifth nerve from the infraorbital foramen, a quarter of an inch below the infraorbital margin, and also the exit of the third division of the fifth at the mental foramen, midway between the upper and lower margins of the body of the jaw. In practice it will be found that the angle of the mouth at rest usually corresponds to the interval between the bicuspid teeth.

Eye

The skin of the eyelids is very thin, and is separated from the subjacent fibrous tarsal plates by the orbicularis palpebrarum muscle. On the lids, the delicate conjunctival membrane is seen, between this and the tarsal plates lie the meibomian glands, which can be faintly seen as yellowish streaks. From the free edges of the eyelids come the eyelashes, between which many large sweat- glands open, and when one of these is inflamed it causes a stye. Internally the two eyelids form a little recess called the internal canthus, occupied by a small red eminence, the caruncula lachrymalis, just external to which a small vertical fold of conjunctiva may often be seen, called the plica semilunaris, representing the third eyelid of birds and many mammals. By gently drawing down the lower eyelid the lower punctum may be seen close to the caruncula; it is the pinhole opening into the lower of the two canaliculi which carry away the tears to the lachrymal sac and duct.
