The “Independent Critics” List…. 100 Most Beautiful Faces of 2012
Music provided by singer/songwriter Jack G. Wilson. His song “Serendipity”, which can be heard at the beginning of the video, can be downloaded for a limited time by CLICKING HERE!
TC Candler presents The 23rd Annual Independent Critics List of the 100 Most Beautiful Faces 2012, which has been published in various formats every year since 1990… and in recent years has been seen by over 30 million unique visitors from around the world.
Unlike many other annual publications, The Independent Critics List is not a popularity contest. It is not about the sexiest or the most famous. Rather, it aims to be a very international list and one that is inclusive of many cultures, lifestyles, professions and degrees of fame. The Independent Critics List intends to inform public opinion rather than reflect it. This list searches far and wide, listening to the millions of suggestions submitted every year, and tries to put together a list representative of the modern ideal of beauty. Aesthetic perfection is only one of the criteria. Grace, elegance, class, poise, joy, promise, hope… they are all embodied in a beautiful face.
Over 25 countries are represented on the 20121 list. That number seems to go up every year as the list grows and expands. Feel free to comment below with your suggestions or opinions. Originality is most welcome! For example, as much as you may like her, there is really no need to mention Angelina Jolie (who was on the list from 1999 to 2003). Of course, lists are very subjective… you will disagree with some of the choices, but perhaps you will find a new favorite. Every year, this list is populated by some legendary beauties who never seem to fade, but it is also replenished with the freshest and most promising talent from around the world. A mix of new and nostalgia… as Don Draper (Mad Men) once conveyed, “one creates an itch, the other creates a bond.”

You guys praise Im Yoona so highly, but just now I checked who she is, and found that she has a narrow and long face. She can be described as pretty but I don’t think she deserves such high praises.
lol she is the defination of perfection almost too perfect to catch peoples eye
Taylor Marie Hill beautiful!!!
why most of the face is eourpe?where is Asian?
I find Im Yoona just damn effin gorgeous. I mean seriously. I’ve watched a few of her dramas. I didn’t know she was a singer actually. Anyway, that girl is beautiful! So natural and flawless. I think its time for a change in the definition of beauty. Right now its more western, busty and blue eyed blonde. Yoona could definitely change that definition to thin, awkward, friendly and natural. I don’t know. Its just that i think she’d be a nice role model to look up to considering she’s not your typical bombshell. She’s just beautiful. Nuff said.
Jessica Jung deserve her place!!! Taeyeon a little higher!!
I wish Tiffany and Yuri of SNSD (from South Korea)are also there.
i’ll go only for im yoona..i think she deserve the list..
Yeah..I think she shall make #1 on the list..
i hope more girls’ generation members can make in the list,of course after you comparing them to the others..let’s go soshi let’s go.. (^^)v
why Taylor swift couldn’t be chosen???
Why Jesica Jung is fifth ? She is popular?
Hmmm, I m kinda skeptical about the list. Let put some more Asian beauty in here especially Filipina beauty. Check Angel Locsin, Christina Reyes… there both top notch beautiful celebrities here in Philippines.
I think Moon Geun Young should be included in this list. She not only beautiful, but also one of the korean actresses that haven’t made any adjustment to her facial features and her charity works are really impressive.
honestly more than half of the celebrities including past and present have poured great effort in their body…as they say “appearance is everything” whether its diet, exercise or surgery..most celebrities have tried it all…even an average person would look good too if they were to put in so much effort..their body is like an advertisement to be endorsed so they have to take care of it no matter what they do..most people envy them but those that do don’t know how much effort it takes just to be them..why do you think they are slammed in the tabloids when they decide to be average joe/jane for a day..like wearing no make up and regular clothes
kim taeyon and yoona should be put in higher ranks than the other members of SNSD..
So many korean women are placing!
Oh and,
Tiffany and Yuri from SNSD (Korea)
Yay for Jessica, Yoona, and Taeyeon! Definitely agree on those
I suggest Kiko Mizuhara (Japan)
and Sandara Park (korea)
Thanks!!
I would like to suggest this celebrity first since I have confidence that she will be included in this list. She is the celebrity who has highly portrayed the Korean Standards of Beauty (where simplicity is beauty) . Though known for her innocent image, she has proven to be versatile in other concepts as well.
She is the center/visual of the Girl Group “Girls’ Generation” and She is none other than Im Yoon-Ah.

I strongly agree..her beauty is simple but perfect..i think she’ll look pretty even without make-up..
nice choices..nam gyu ri and im yoona thnk you for putting them on the list..
congratulations…
I would like to suggest this:

I hope you’ll be look for them and list them for next year…. Thanks
I have a suggestion 2 indian models Most beautiful Indian model Ashleysha Yesugade and top Indian model jyothsna chakravarthy
For 2013, I would like to suggest:
- Nina Dobrev
- Candice Accola
- Antonia
- Kat Graham
- Karen Gillan
- Elizabeth Gutiérrez
- Claire Holt
- Phoebe Tonkin
For 2013, I would like to suggest Nina Dobrev , Candice Accola , Antonia , kat Graham , Karen Gillan , Elizabeth Gutiérrez , Claire Holt , Phoebe Tonkin
i would like to suggest ANNE CURTIS, MARIAN RIVERA, ERICH GONZALES, GORGINA WILLSON, ANGEL LOCSIN, CRISTINE REYES. All of them are from philippines.
I wouldn’t put Korean celebrities much. 99% of them had lots of surgery just to look how they are today, and probably 100 layers of make up. So no, I wouldn’t call that beautiful.
Hey, not all Korean celebrities had lots of surgery
Just because many Koreans do surgery, that doesn’t say that all Korean women do surgeries.
By the way, every top 100 had 100 layers of make up too. So if you never saw their actual face, just don’t talk about it.
Hey, not all celebrities do surgery
Just because most of the Korean women do surgery, I think it is not appropriate to say that all the Korean celebrities had surgery.
Moreover I am also “99%” sure that all the 100 candidates put 100 layers of make up anyway
So I hope you don’t use your time putting comments on the Korean women and use the time wisely next time
yeah and so do American celebrities…really you just do like Koreans and use that as an excuse..you should be more honest…I’ve seen plenty of celebrities of different ethnicity have surgery or heavy make up..its just what is expected and believed to be needed in order to stay popular and or relevant..its just that type of industry…my point is why point out the Koreans as the only ones that do it unless you really don’t like them..
don’t*
IU have not lot of surgery…similar as before-
Shutup you A*s holE.do you know anything about korean people.they are the top contender of this list.
I agree..
How about Kuroki Meisa-san?
I suggest Li Xiao Lu
I love korean and thai actresses (too singers)
1.- Sulli from f(x)
2.- Lee Yeon Hee
3.- Ham Eun Jung from T-ara
4.-Krystal Jung from f(x)
5.- Go Ah Ra
6.-Im Soo Hyang
7.-Yoona from SNSD
8.- Son Na Eun from A Pink
9.- Moon Chae Won
10.- Wannarot Sontichai
11.- Chalida Wijitwongtong
12.- Kimberly Voltemas
13.- Marie Broenner
<3 Alexandra Daddario
I suggest Anna Christine Speckhart… She’s so beautiful

I hope to see Barbie Hsu again in your next year list. Endow with natural beauty, she has the face the truly refreshes.
I definitely feel that Kim Taeyeon should be ranked a lot higher….
Next year, she will be moving higher up the list.
JESSICA Jung should be number 1 next year because I find her really attractive and you should put yoona and taeyeon on higher ranks
Taeyeon shall make #1 the list..
Aastha Pokharel -the best face from Asia’s next top model according to the judges

Chloe Moretz? Really???
Yeah..Chloe Grace Moretz
Yes. I remember that Emily Didonato was young and beautiful last year. I guess today she is still good-looking.

I LEAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS

mariana valverde http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PNseT_nQtjA/T4c4oBmu46I/AAAAAAAAACQ/Poc33fYuxCI/s1600/Maria-Valverde-640×480.jpg
Thanks. Maria Valverde made the list last the year before. She is lovely.
Maria Sharapova not even in the list?
Unfortunately not. She has a spectacular body, but her face has never been her strongest feature.
What happened to the older comments and lists?
Milla Jovovich OMG she’s not here since 08
Amy Winehouse
Lady GaGa
Belinda (Singer From Mexico)
Madonna?
I LOVE Lena Katina, Julia Volkova, Rihanna, Lindsay Lohan
i think we need a list of the most handsome men
1. Milla has been on the list SIX times, from 1998 to 2003.
2. Amy Winehouse??? You have got to be kidding. First of all, she was a hideous beast with one of the ugliest celebrity faces of all time. Oh, and she is also dead.
3. Belinda is not going to be making the list.
4. Madonna is a weather beaten old hag. The last time she looked great was in 1987.
Sorry.
TC, you tell it as it is.
My God, why do you guys pick DaDa Chan? There are thousands of Chinese girls prettier than she is.
And it’s a pity that you don’t put Eva Green, Jessica Alba, or Kristen Stewart on the list. I think they are prettier than many girls there.
We think Dada Chan is lovely. Eva Green has been on the list 4 times, from 2005 to 2008. Jessica Alba has been on the list 5 times before, between 2005 and 2010. Kristen Stewart was on the list in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Thanks.
Oh but just “lovely” cannot constitute “beauty”. Is this only a little group of people’s opinion?
Even this girl, Hong-Yuan Yue, looks better that Dada Chan.
http://www.wretch.cc/album/qqreenyu
Yey!! SNSD’s jessica, Taeyeon and Yoona is on the list!!
I hope they can survive for 10 years or more
especially Jessica who receives many bad comments and haters
My suggestion for next year is (for korean actress only):
- SNSD : All members (Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Sooyoung, Seohyun, Sunny, Yuri)
- Suzy Miss A
- Park Jiyeon T-ara
- Nana After School
- Bora SISTAR
- lee Yeonhee
- Shin Sekyung
- Lee Minjung
- Krystal jung f(x) –> She’s Jessica jung’s sister
- Goo Hara KARA
- Hyuna 4 minute
and as I am from Indonesia, I suggest some beautiful women from Indonesia :
- Agnes Monica
- Sherina
- Titi sjuman
- Sandra dewi
- Dian Sastrowardoyo
- Marissa Nasution
Here are some suggestions, I hope you can select some of my suggestions and put them on the 2013 list.. Thanks
What about the legendary beauty from Indonesia..Nia Ramadhani?
Victoria Justice is burning up the web right now her not being on the list is a mistake.
Victoria was on the list in 2010… but just missed each of the last two years. Fingers crossed for 2013!!!
Next year do eiza Gonzalez she is one of the most beautiful women i have ever seen especially in amores verdaderos!!!

Excellent work with including Taeyeon, Jessica, and Yoona ¦3
One suggestion for 2013: Kiko Mizuhara
Ultimately, I want to applaud TC Candler & crew for putting together such a diverse list in the first place. The world at large benefits from diversity, believe it or not!
I suggest the members of korean group ‘KARA’
gyu lee park, seong yeon han, hara goo, nicole jung, and jiyoung kang.
suggest you f(x)’s korean girlgroup leader, Victoria Song. natural beauty from Chinese.
tnx 4 putting korean dolls in the list!
I was waiting for a long time for 2012 list , Thanks
, but why not first ? 
And a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery special thanks for choosing marion as second most beautiful woman
And where is emmy rossum and also anne hathaway ?
Be more logical , pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase
Miranda Kerr (Australia), Nina Dobrev (Bulgarian and American) and Barbara Palvin (Hungarian) should be on the list!
This guy is on the money, exactly the three I thought were missing from this list
Well, they certainly have a chance in 2013.
I also suggest:
-Adriana Lima
-Kendall Jenner
-Miley Cyrus
-Brittany Snow
-Cara Delevingne
-Emily Didonato
What about Anna Christine Speckhart?, you should include her on the list.
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1697fpEfV1qdpw9wo1_500.jpg
no son muy buenos como para escoger alas mujeres mas bellas del mundo ,escogan alas que son bellas por nacimiento y no el bisturi
I hope that your list is a woman who has a natural beauty, not the beauty of plastic surgery results
bien dicho lyra el 2do lugar jajajaja por favor Marion Cotillard esta bien fea , bellezas naturales como Maite Perroni ninguna
I don’t agree that No.58 Nam Gyu-ri ranked here.
She has changed her face over years.
You should include Tiffany Alvord, Nina Dobrev and Lucy Hale
Nice picks… thank you.
I would like to see Parineeti Chopra make next year’s list please.
I suggest Kwon Yuri -> http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mde0d7znNy1r418z7o1_250.gif and Park Gyuri -> http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9fclcB2di1r7h8mno8_250.jpg
MEE TOO! I suggest Kwon Yuri my Love <3 <3
Thank you… maybe she will be on in 2013.
http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/409632_190880497725523_893187575_n.jpg
it is Im Jin-ah
Thank you very much for that suggestion… Im Jin Ah (Nana) is a stunning choice. I am sure she will make the 2013 list!!!
Nana from After School is lovely, but in my opinion the leader of the group, Park Kahi, is a greater and more natural beauty
WHAT ABOUT TIFFANY HWANG? U FORGOT GIRL’S GENERATION’S MOST BEAUTIFUL?
Maybe Tiffany for 2013?
The fact that SNSD is on the list, and 3 times (!!!!) shows that they have a promising future here!
Jessica Jung should win in first in 2013 *-* SNSD Fighting !!
MOST DEFINITELY SHE SHOULD
Suggestions from Chile:
Leonor Varela
Monica Godoy
Javiera Diaz de Valdes
Daniela Ramirez
Maria Gracia Omegna
Tonka Tomicic
Josefina Montane
Celine Raymond
Juanita Ringeling
Luciana Echeverria
Daniela Benavente
Al least, but not last:
where’s Anne Hathaway?!!!!!
Thank you very much for those names — especially Juanita Ringeling and Josefina Montane!!! As for Anne Hathaway — she had been on our list for the previous nine years in a row, some of which were in the Top 10. However, she just missed for the first time in 2012.
I suggest Kwon Yuri
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m78104T8c41qlb5m6o2_1280.jpg
Very lovely photo of her.
jaja no inventes esta selena gomez, ema roberts, camille bell, mila kunis…. si son lindas pero que paso con:
-vanessa hudgens
-ranchel mc adams
-megan fox
-britanny snow
-angelina jolie
-zoey deschanel
etc…..
estas mujeres osn mas lindas que otras que pusieron aqui
Rachel McAdams, Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox have all been on the list before. Brittany Snow has been close too.
Mélanie Laurent! <3
I would like to see the next year to Simone Simons from Netherlands, she has one of the most beautiful faces in the world!
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ka66LIRrQR0/UM0FBY9O0YI/AAAAAAAAC9Q/VYLIXB8V6yc/s1600/simoneexweb+(4+sur+17).jpg
Thanks for suggesting Simone Simons!
Where is NADIA BJORLIN??!
Nadia is lovely — maybe in 2013!
I am a 50 yr. old woman. Some of these young women are indeed beautiful, but how many are NATURALLY beautiful? Why are the majority from England and the United States?
Probably because the majority of celebrities and “fame” opportunities are in those countries. However, our list has traditionally been on of the most internationally diverse lists that can be found on the net. We are very proud of our inclusiveness.
I suggest Nadya Hutagalung, Dian Sastro, and Tiffany Hwang.
Thank you for the nice choices!
Also some more suggestions from Argentina
Eugenia Suarez (actress, model, singer)
Mariana Esposito (the same with Euge) lovely but some people call her short
Brenda Asnicar (the same as Mar)
Natalia Oreiro (all the above +fashion designer)
Luisana Lopilato (all the above and her modeling career is going internationally recognisable)
Great picks Mandia! Thanks!
You should take look to the following Greek super beauties:
Zeta Makrypoulia (actress, model, TV presenter) and
Doukissa Nomikou (model and TV presenter)
more beautiful than many.
Wonderful — thanks.
Maite Perroni is the best
I AGREE!!!
I like the fact that it’s not a popularity list. Those lists are made to draw media exposure and website visits in order to make more money.
TC did his homework and put many gals from different cultures on this list.
Most lists nowadays are just one dimensional – made up with only gals from the local mainstream media. That’s why they don’t have much credibility anymore cuz they are being territorial and limiting their own candidates which leads to lists full of average gals.
And I could understand how hard it is to pick out gals from different countries. After all, TC might be more familiar with UK & US which are also two huge media magnets. I don’t know if I could find a fine gal from Indonesia or Kuwait. And when you’re talking about “beauty” globally, the definition of this word might vary significantly in different cultures. Most of the Indians I know don’t think Freida Pinto’s one of the most beautiful but she might be considered the hottest Indian in US. Remember Eva Green used to be on almost every beauty list after Casino Royale came out? But French don’t feel that strong about her either.
So good job again TC. BTW, I have to say British chicks rock. I’ve watched the video without looking at their nationalities first. And those who made me pause and check the right top info are almost all British, at least 80%.
Thank you for all of these comments — much appreciated.

Thank you for posting these choices.
Girls Generation’s Yoona and Kid Leader Taeyeon made the list. was shocked to see them on this!
jessica too! she’s number 5!
Nina Dobrev!!!
i suggest that kim taeyeon
I don’t like to question the list. I prefer (like every year) leaving my suggestions for the next list. I keep in mind that you look for fresh and new faces, that’s why I’ll avoid to include some of my favourite beauties like Aishwarya Rai or Giovanna Mezzogiorno, for instance.
-Elisa Sednaoui: Italian model and actress. She has an interesting background which includes Italian, French and Egyptian heritage. And last but not least, she took part in the Pirelli Calender in 2011 and 2013.
-Eva Riccobono: Italian model and actress (with German heritage).
-Antonia Iacobescu: Roumanian singer.
-Ana Paula Arosio: Brazilian actress and former model. She’s in her late 30′s now but she never was in the list and she’s not well known outside Brazil. Her face is stunning.
-Sara Carbonero: Spanish journalist and the owner of terrific green eyes.
-Vittoria Puccini: Italian actress.
-Bianca Balti: Italian model.
The best inclusions of this year: Elsa Pataky, Lily Collins and Imogen Poots.
Greetings.
Some great picks — thank you very much.
I would like to see Yui in the list next year
I would like to see the Beautiful Faces of 2012.
