Not realty for things like faces or huge noses. The distortion is really caused by the shooting distance rather than the lens width. For the same size head on an image you'll have to shoot closer with the 35, and thus the nose is proportionally closer to the lens than the rest of the face (and thus is larger) than if you shot from further away with the 50 (where the camera to nose and camera to face distances are about the same). As long as you're careful, the 35 is probably the better choice (you can crop in on an image that's too wide, but you can't back up once you hit the hotel room wall).
