Pretty girls all look the same

I just got done trying to match up 25 beauty queen photos to their high school senior pictures. The HS pics were labeled but the glamour shots were not. Some of the high school pcitures were just candid shots as well. Do you have any idea how hard it is to match faces to faces. Pretty soon, everybody looks exactly the same. You can't look at the big picture either, details are how you make an ID. The shape of the eyes, the size of the chine, the placement of prominent freckles, the depth of dimples. The size of the forehead, to be sure, but did you know that people have lumpy foreheads? The closer you look, the easier it is to tell if a person has one lump in the middle or two lobes or a slight concavity just above the eyebrows. Creases in the neck tend to be good identifiers. If you had them in HS, you probably still have them. The shape of the ear is not as telling as how much that ring of skin and cartilage on the outside curves. The more it curves the darker the line inside. At the end of the nose, some people have a piece in the center that is quite prominent while others is very flat. Widow's peaks, that divit under the schnoz, eyes bags, eye lids, smile lines. You look long enough and all you see are the defects and nobody looks pretty. Frankly, nobody looks pretty to me all made up. I like my women au natural with just a little base coat, lipstick, eye liner and maybe some highlights. And blush, but that's it.
