Choosing your best profile—or the side of your face that looks most flattering in photos—can be surprisingly simple. Here’s how to figure it out:
1. Take Symmetrical Photos
-
Stand in front of a camera or mirror.
-
Take or look at photos of your face turned left, right, and straight on, with the same lighting and expression.
2. Check for Facial Symmetry
-
Most people have slightly asymmetrical features. Your "best side" is usually the one that appears more balanced or expressive.
-
Common indicators:
-
Smoother jawline
-
Higher or more arched eyebrow
-
More open eye or lifted eyelid
-
Clearer skin or fewer blemishes
-
3. Use the Selfie Test
-
Open your phone camera and take selfies from both angles.
-
Compare them and see which one you naturally prefer—this is often your best side.
4. Ask Others
-
Sometimes friends or photographers notice patterns. Ask which photos of you they like best.
5. Celebrities Often Know
-
Many celebrities consistently pose with their best side to the camera. Once you find yours, you’ll naturally favor it too.
Fun fact: Studies show that the left side is more commonly chosen as the best side due to stronger emotional expression.
