The OP seems to be confusing two concepts: perspective and angle of view.
A lens does not have perspective.
Perspective is a function of the distance from viewer to subject.
Perspective is completely independent of lens, camera, or the clothes you're wearing; it's determined only by the point in space from which a subject is viewed.
What a lens DOES have is an angle of view.
The shorter the focal length, the wider the angle of view.
The longer the focal length, the narrower the angle of view.
From the same perspective (i.e., the same point in space), a 50mm lens and a 35mm lens will give geometrically identical renderings of your portrait subject. The only difference is that the face of the portrait projected onto the camera sensor by the 35mm lens will be smaller than the one projected by the 50mm lens.
Conversely, to get the same face size on the image with both the 50mm lens and the 35mm lens, you've got to move closer to the subject with the 35. This changes your perspective. It is this change in perspective that creates the distortion you're thinking about. It's not a function of the lens, it's a function of your perspective on the scene.
For good quality lenses, my guess is that the distortion correction applied by ACR to both of your lenses will result in identical, albeit different sized, images. At that point, you're just dealing with the number of pixels used to render the image. For the same crop, the 35mm will use fewer pixels because the image on the sensor is smaller.
