What the Face Score measures
The test finds 478 points on your face and measures seven proportions between them. Each one is compared with the range people tend to rate highest, and the score out of 10 sums up how close you are overall.
| Metric | What it compares | Range rated highest |
|---|---|---|
| Symmetry | Your left and right half, point by point | 90% and up |
| Golden ratio | The width of your mouth to the width of your nose | 1.55 to 1.70 |
| Canthal tilt | The angle from the inner to the outer corner of each eye | A slight lift, about +2° to +6° |
| Facial thirds | The middle third of your face to the lower third | Within 6% of each other |
| Jawline angle | The angle of your jaw, seen from the front | About 128° to 136° |
| Midface ratio | The distance between your pupils to the height from pupils to lips | 0.95 to 1.05 |
| Cheekbones | The width at your cheekbones to the width at your jaw | Clearly wider than the jaw |
Choose women or men before you start and the canthal tilt, jaw and cheekbones are compared with the ranges for that group. Skip it and the test uses ranges in between.
Why the same face scores differently
The tool measures your face as one photo shows it. A turned head makes one half look narrower, a wide-angle lens held close stretches the nose and the middle of the face, and a big smile changes the mouth, the cheeks and the eyes. Light matters too: a shadow over half your face hides points the tool needs.
That is why your result has a separate part for the photo: how many points the light, the angle and the framing cost, and what your face scores without them.
How to take a selfie that scores fairly
- Hold the phone at eye level, at arm’s length or further, and look straight into the lens.
- Face a window or another soft light, so both halves of your face are lit evenly.
- Keep a neutral expression or a slight smile, with your hair away from your face.
- Turn off filters and beauty mode: they reshape exactly what the test measures.
- Make sure your face fills a good part of the photo, and that you are the only person in it.
What the score is not
The Face Score compares proportions with ranges from research on facial attractiveness and from popular ideals. It says nothing about your worth, your style, your voice or how people feel around you. Ideals differ between cultures and between people, and no measurement captures charisma. Read your score as a game.
