Recently, a novel model has been proposed t describe or measure attractiveness. In this mode, attractiveness is defined as a 3-dimensional model defined by beauty, genuineness, and self-esteem. The model was created to denote “natural beauty” both at baseline and following cosmetic procedures.

In the manuscript, Dr. Dayan has suggested in the model that when all three variables are at a maximum, a desirable appearance is achieved that can be interpreted as “natural.” Further adding to this, he mentioned that the 3D cube ofattractiveness is contained within a fourth dimension that considers the judgers perspective.

In a pilot study, the researchers have demonstrated that visually blind individuals can detect beauty. The study further isolates beauty as a primal form of messaging that si subconsciously appreciated through embodied senses other than vision.
