#2: Initial revision
+1 Fayth85. I have seen more than my fair share of the dead, including three of my own family members (in three separate incidents). The best you can say is if your character has some experience with seeing live people become dead people, they might be able to tell that a dead face **_must have been beautiful_** when alive. You can still absolutely recognize a person by their facial features a day after they have been killed, I don't know how much longer after that. Since they **are** recognizable, I think the kinds of facial features that make a man or woman "beautiful", well proportioned and sized features, should be recognizable too, as **_formerly_** beautiful. But the pallor, stillness, slackness and dryness (skin, eyes, lips, mouth if open), are not going to strike an observer as "beautiful" in the moment.
