Ever wondered whether a higher nose bridge represents wealth luck? Or if fuller cheeks are associated with prosperity?

In this episode of Spilling the Tea with Halley, we explore the intersection between traditional feng shui face reading (面相, Mian Xiang) and modern medical aesthetics.

Dr. Mavis is joined by Singapore metaphysicist Master Alvin (Instagram: @mzx.fengshui.mastery.academy) for a thoughtful discussion on what different facial features represent in Mian Xiang — and whether aesthetic treatments such as fillers and skin boosters can influence how a face is interpreted, while still maintaining natural harmony and balance.

From the concept of the “ideal” fortune face to the ethical and medical considerations behind facial enhancement, this episode bridges tradition, science, and self-awareness in an open and balanced conversation.

Whether you’re curious about metaphysics, aesthetics, or how cultural beliefs shape beauty standards, this episode offers insight into looking aligned — not altered.
