Describe Your Face - Challenge

02 December 2014

Creating visual descriptions is one of the most difficult and enjoyable parts of writing. Making someone else envision what's in your imagination with only the power of words is a talent not everyone has a knack for. There are ways to improve, however. For example, instead of simply saying, she has blonde hair and blue eyes, describing the twinkle in her eyes or matching the tint of her hair to something more specific like hay, can immediately make the description seem more life like. Here is where the challenge comes in!

I'm going to dedicate a paragraph to describing to you what my face looks like, and then at the bottom of this post I will include a picture of my actual face. Yes I realize that there is a profile photo of me on the right, but that was taken over a year ago and in extremely poor lighting circumstances. Then, in the comments, tell me if I wrote an accurate description or what else I might include to make it more thorough. After you've reviewed my post, do this challenge on YOUR blog, leave a link to the post in the comments, and we can all check it out! :D enjoy!

I have thick, auburn hair with hues of copper and sparse bits of blonde here and there. In certain lighting, it simply seems brown yet the sunlight reveals various shades of cinnamon and scarlet. My wavy mane sits at about chest length, and sweeping bangs sit near my ears. I've got freckles, lot's of em, yet they have become more subtle through the years. Light brown specks pepper my cheeks and they are softest underneath my eyes. My eyes are medium green with flecks of gold in the center. Though not as bright as summer grass, they are of the same hue and sometimes look golden in the sunlight. My lips are of medium of plumpness and have a habit of pouting themselves. Their natural shade is a, pink rose color, (though they are concealed with a softer gloss in the picture.) I'd say I have a cheerful countenance, for I don't even know how to turn my mouth into a frown and my eyes get those happy crinkles whenever I smile. My nose is rather long, slightly slanted, and is the largest, least charming feature on my face. Though you can't seem them in the picture, I have, big, white straight teeth (thanks to years of braces) and my firm cheeks seem always to be blushing.

And now, for the reveal...(keep in mind this a low quality photo so not all of the coloring is correct, but hopefully you will get the idea.)

  2. Hey, nice description! :) I'm terrible at this kind of stuff, but it's good to step outside my comfort zone once in a while. Here goes nothing:

    My thick, dark brown hair comes just above my shoulders and is nearly impossible to tame without a blow dryer. I got rid of my bangs years ago and have not regretted my decision. My eyes match my hair, dark and deep, though they squint when I smile. My glasses are a recent addition, sitting on my somewhat triangular nose. My round face is a rich olive color, thanks to my Portuguese heritage, though it doesn't always show up in pictures. My lips are pink and almost constantly smiling. My teeth are nice and straight, though they didn't always use to be, and my ears sit close to the sides of my head.

    How'd I do? :)
