  • I'm a forensic artist, worked for the San José Police Department from 1995 to 2011.

  • I showed up to a place I'd never been, and there was a guy with a drafting board.

  • We couldn't see them. They couldn't see us.

  • Tell me about your hair.

  • I didn't know what he was doing, but then I could tell after several questions that he was drawing me.

  • Tell me about your chin.

  • It kind of protrudes a little bit, especially when I smile.

  • Your jaw?

  • My mom told me I had a big jaw.

  • What would be your most prominent feature?

  • I kinda have a fat, rounder face.

  • The older I've gotten, the more freckles I've gotten.

  • I would say I have a pretty big forehead.

  • Once I get a sketch, I say, "Thank you very much," and then they leave. I don't see them.

  • All I had been told before the sketch was to get friendly with this other woman: Chloe.

  • Today I'm gonna ask you some questions about the person you met earlier, and I'm gonna ask you some general questions about their face.

  • She was thin, so you could see her cheekbones. And her chin, it was a nice, thin chin.

  • She had nice eyes. They lit up when she spoke.

  • Cute nose.

  • She had blue eyes, very nice blue eyes.

  • So here we are... This is the sketch that you helped me create, and that's a sketch that somebody described of you.

  • See yeah, that's...

  • She looks closed off and fatter, sadder too. The second one looks more open, friendly, and happy.

  • I should be more grateful of my natural beauty.

  • It impacts the choices in the friends that we make, the jobs we apply for, how we treat our children.

  • It impacts everything. It couldn't be more critical to your happiness.

  • Do you think you're more beautiful than you say?

  • Yeah... yeah...

  • We spend a lot of time as women analyzing and trying to fix the things that aren't quite right,

  • and we should spend more time appreciating the things that we do like.

  • [You are more beautiful than you think.]
