Faces are an important visual source for individuals to make social perceptual judgments, and face features can influence others' judgments of individuals' personality traits, emotional states etc. Therefore, social perception judgment based on face features has adaptive significance. This paper firstly introduces the basic relationship between facial features and social perception and its importance in social psychology; then it reviews in detail the progress and development of domestic and international research on the influence of facial features on social perception from the aspects of biological features of faces and social features of faces, and compares the advantages and disadvantages of different methods; finally, it analyzes and looks forward to the problems and development of the influence of facial features on social perception. The effect of facial features on social perception is a complex and multilevel process, and understanding this process not only helps individuals to understand the nature of human social behavior, but also provides theoretical support for applied research in related fields.
