I shot all these photos on the Nikon D750 using three lenses: 1) AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED; 2) AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR; & Nikon 85mm ƒ/1.8G.I believe both the wide angle and the extreme telephoto lens does affect how a person's face really appears.
The extreme wide-angle makes a person's nose bigger because it is closer to the camera and the ears are much further. As you go to a longer focal length the distance between the nose and ears compresses.
My favorite lens for portraits with the full frame DSLR is the Nikon 85mm ƒ/1.8G.

I agree, I think the 85mm is best. Also, I usually get great portraits with a 70mm.
Thanks for posting!
A longer, more telephoto lens certainly makes the face look more natural, and also makes the background less distracting. Of course using an aperture like F/1.8 or F/2-2.8 minimizes the background even more.
Nice post.
