Vanessa Van Edwards explains how to spot a genuine smile from far away. Real smiles crinkle the eyes and upper face, while fake ones only move the mouth. A true smile makes others feel happier too.
If you look at a picture with someone with a real smile, you catch happiness. You begin to feel happier. Happiness is important on two different levels. One is, I never want you to fake smile. And number two, I want to make sure that people are only authentically smiling at you. And if there's a fake smile, you dig a little deeper. So as you can see, the real smile on the left goes all the way up into her eyes and face the fake smile. If I were to cover the bottom half of the face, you couldn't see the smile. You would barely know that anything is happening in the top half of the face. That's the key. If you can't see a real smile on the top half of the face, it's not a real smile.
