Is Botox overrated? Is a great smile the secret to finding your soulmate? A new study also shows smiling makes you significantly more attractive to people than having Botox, according to a report in The Times that said a study by Tilburg University in the Netherlands found having Botox increases your attractiveness by 0.07 on a scale of one to seven. So, if you were a five before you got pricked, you’d be a 5.07 after. Smiling, on the other hand, raises you 0.4 on the same scale. Makeup was even better and upped you 0.6. Which, deploying my GCSE maths skills, I know is significant. ‘Hurrah!’ shout all the needle naysayers, vindicated in their dislike and distrust of tweakments. Digging deeper The aforementioned Dutch study was conducted using before and after photos, and as someone who has been part of a lot of shoots, I know makeup and a smile create very obvious changes in a picture, whereas Botox is something that shows up more in 3D or IRL. But it’s a subtle effect – or should be if it’s done right. Is Botox overrated? Is a great smile the secret to finding your soulmate? Is it time to update your profile pic?
