Have you ever seen a more perfect bone structure?

She's a traditional maasai tribeswoman from Kenya. For some reason, the traditional Nilotic tribes from Eastern Africa all have this sort of majestic look to them. I don't think even runway models come this close.

It's amazing that the bone structure looks so perfect that it almost appears fake.

Runway models aren't known for their bone structure.  Face models are...   Start at 6:18) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItxQIro7Y0o

I'm just going to go ahead and say it...  Much of beauty is deemed to be beyond the face.  Look at covers of magazines.  Few on covers have great bone structure, perfect symmetry or even are really that attractive.  There is camera, lighting, Photoshop, and that's on the capturing side.  The personality, presentation, positioning and poise of the person will shine through.... only exemplified by hair/makeup artists.  Many a model, celebrity or actor doesn't have so much the advantage at birth.  Thinking so allows us to be off the hook.  Saying that there are unrealistic beauty standards that we cannot acheive may be comforting.... but this chicken soup for the soul is actually slowly poisonous. 

The way we speak to ourselves matters.  The way in which we treat ourselves matters.  That is why there are plenty of girls and guys who should not get attention, but do.  They may not have mastered perfect bone structure... but the way in wich they value their time, the way that they interact with others and the care that they see to themselves is evident in their faces. 

This beautiful woman appears to project diligence in her air.  The beads are carefully assembled.  The lines in her face show that she is a woman of grace and beauty... holding herself in high esteem.  It shows a stoic character.  Even our voices give away our bad habits, poor self-control or poverty.  Alternately, our voices, our faces and our body language and spirit combine... into a complete package that reflects to the world our past times, our sleep (or lack thereof), and interestingly - most of all - our emotions and experiences.   I feel that this post was long in the making here.  Let us cultivate lives of interest and activities and emotions that enhance - not detract from - our own, individual natural beauty.  For after all...  we are ALL attractive in our own ways.

The ‘majestic’ look is a trick of photography and is due to the contrast created by lighting + dark skin, just look at any non-staged photo of the maaisai. That being said she does have good bone structure but nothing that special as far as good bone structure goes.

Many tribal people have decent bone structure but "perfect" is subjective.

That said African aesthetics of all regions appeal to me. High degrees of facial neoteny combined with (typically) long limbs makes for a good combination in my opinion.

When I was in high school it was strange to me how the Black boys always referred to themselves as "pretty". But I can say that as I age and they don't that the "cute" factor definitely puts things into perspective. 

Take a look at the African skull proportions. No matter the region I find this to be accurate. From an aesthetics perspective the features are ideal. Short face. Short philtrum. Short ramus. But the teeth angulation allows even the small chin to project.

Notice also the rounded forehead. All traits associated with youth. In American the phrase "Black don't crack" is well known to denote the highly neotenous African face. From the perspective of our forum, also notice the short maxillary height. This means that even with a small pogonion, the jaw is not weak.
