The 28-year-old singers smile is said to fit into the formula for a perfect smile, which comprises of a mix of colour, tooth shape and, most importantly, sincerity. David Holmes from the Manchester Metropolitan University found that different muscles are used, particularly around the eyes, in sincere smiles, and these help to create a smile people find attractive. His team devised a formula for the perfect smile, combining confidence, face shape, lip and tooth health, for a dazzling effect that can win people over and even help with career success. Cheryl Cole is a great example of the perfect smile. Its no coincidence that she has been such a success and become the nations sweetheart, the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.
