    I count 5, so I can get you that far. 1/2 are the same. Lighting makes it hard, hair is different, but right breast mole is the same. 3/6 are the obvious birth mark.

      You’re right about 3/6 for obvious reasons, but I’m not so sure about 1/2. The bone structure in her face, specifically her brow and nose are just too different.

        Admittedly, it’s hard to say conclusively. The left’s eyebrows are drawn on with makeup, and the angle of the light source and shadow obscure the nose proportions. The right’s stretched posture by comparison makes it hard to pin down the diff. I think the strongest argument against is the lower abdomen mole that is hard to discount as an anomaly of lighting and exposure. However, there is also the mole match on the chin.

          The chin freckles don’t actually match though. I don’t know if you have fair skin, but freckles do come and go over time. None of those actually look like moles to me. I was actually referring to the shape of their brow ridge, not the eyebrows, and the nostril flare difference is something that’s not going to change with a relaxed facial posture.

            Sorry, I should have been using the word freckle not mole. It was not intended as a negative opinion of either.

            Aside from the diff, do you register a brow ridge as a perceptive feature that you are always aware of? I ask because I’ve noticed when I am reading books that describe facial features, they do not register in my mind as relevant information. My mental picture of a character develops on its own based upon context of actions that define personality. Likewise when I look at faces, I can’t articulate shape and the underlying structural features in any meaningful way. I know what I find attractive, and can point it out, but I can’t really describe it well and it does not seem to be the kind of thing where I lack the vocabulary, but more of the kind of thing that does not interest me. I may not find facial structural language interesting, but it is interesting to see how others might perceive the world differently. I write off most attractive features as an abstract degree of neotenous asymmetry; large eyes, small nose, small mouth, forward angle to the face, etc. I do not see chin, brow, facial shape, or jawline in a tangible definitive or memorable way. Even when you mention the differences in brow between images 1/2, I see lighting and makeup, but feel blind to what you are pointing out. I’m being totally honest, not like passive aggressive or anything like that. Sorry if my verbose specificity is abrasive, feel free to ignore. The observation just struck a deeper chord for me in an area seldom explored.
