what people find beautifull can be influenced by alot of things

like the person's sensory enjoyment or ocular enjoyment depending on their own ideas, feelings and judgements, which themselves have a direct relation to what evidence they have with the ocular sense

This would mean aesthetics itself is a subjective philosophy, as its dependant on what the person finds enjoyable, ultimately all the ratio talk can be chalked upto the rationalization of the subject's interest or enjoyment in certain ocular appearences

in all this theres a paradox that can be found tho, since there are faces we all can call beautifull, it means that facial beauty is related some quality of the observed face which is seen as universally accepted or beautiful

However, each individual’s own ideas and feelings, like a conditioned response, also have a direct relationship to their judgement, hence the difference in the extent of rating a face asbeautiful depending on the eye of the beholder

so my understanding of facial aesthetics upto this point and our discussion of it is purely philosophical, bc of the fact that our theories and concepts cannot be directly and physically tested, thus making it not a science

this debate of objectivity and subjectivity of facial aesthetics will have no end, unless we have a pure, direct, way to measure everything known about the face upto now all the while proving it is beautiful to EVERYONE
