As part of Dove's latest experiment, they recruited seven women of different ages and ethnic backgrounds who were relatively clueless about what was going on. Then FBI-trained forensic artist Gil Zamora drew two sketches for each woman: one based on strangers descriptions of her face and the second based on her own descriptions of her face.
