Multi-ratio workbench
Face Beauty Ratio — Your Full Proportion Sheet
One photo, every classic proportion: face height-to-width, eye spacing, facial thirds, jaw and forehead ratios — each drawn on a layer you can toggle and verify.
In short: A face beauty ratio is any measured proportion of the face — height over width, eye gap over face width, upper third over total height — expressed as a number instead of an impression. This workbench measures the core face beauty ratio set from your photo and draws every line it used, because a proportion you can verify beats a score you must trust.

The idea
What a face beauty ratio sheet tells you
Proportions compress a face into numbers you can actually compare — here is what each one means.
Artists and anatomists have sketched ideal face proportions for centuries: a face about one and a half times taller than wide, eyes spaced one eye-width apart, a face split into three equal vertical bands. A modern face beauty ratio test digitizes those sketches — it measures where your face actually sits on each axis and reports the numbers with the reference beside them.
What the numbers cannot do: rank your beauty. There is no validated master formula that turns a face beauty ratio table into an attractiveness grade, and sites that print one are decorating a random number generator. What the numbers can do: show you, precisely, which of your proportions sit near the classical references and which are distinctive — useful for glasses, haircuts, makeup, photography and honest curiosity.

How to use it
Using the face beauty ratio workbench
Upload once, then switch layers to see each family of proportions drawn on your photo.
- 1
Choose your face beauty ratio layer
The frame layer draws the height-width rectangle; the eye layer draws face width against the between-eye gap and each eye's width; the thirds layer draws the three horizontal bands.
- 2
Adjust the hairline in the face beauty ratio thirds
The mesh cannot see hair, so the upper band starts at an estimated hairline. Drag the slider until the gold line matches your actual hairline — the face beauty ratio sheet updates live as you drag.
- 3
Read the full face beauty ratio sheet
Every face beauty ratio on the card lists the measured value plus a one-line meaning, so you always know which reference a number is being compared to and why.
Because all layers come from the same landmark set, the numbers agree with every other FaceReport tool: your eye spacing here is the spacing component of your PSL-style score, and your thirds here match the dedicated facial thirds page. One measurement engine, many face beauty ratio views.
The ratios
The six face beauty ratio measurements explained
Each ratio on the sheet, what it measures and the classical reference it sits next to.
Height ÷ width — the vertical face beauty ratio
Face height from mesh top to chin over the widest cheek span. The classical reference is about 1.5 (the golden ratio page explores the 1.618 variant in depth).
Eye spacing — the horizontal face beauty ratio
Inner-corner gap divided by face width, reference ≈ 0.46. Wider or narrower spacing is a normal, distinctive trait that glasses and eyeliner play with.
Thirds, jaw, forehead — the contour face beauty ratio set
The three vertical bands each compared to 33.3%; jaw-over-cheek and forehead-over-cheek widths complete the face beauty ratio sheet with the contour axes the shape detector uses.
No single face beauty ratio is 'correct'. Real people scatter widely around every reference, and several references (like exactly equal thirds) describe an idealized average face rather than any real one. The sheet exists to inform, not to grade.
Photography
Getting an accurate face beauty ratio reading
Proportions are measured in 2D, so the camera is half the measurement.
- Camera at eye level and square to the face — tilts skew every face beauty ratio on the sheet.
- Neutral expression: a smile moves mouth corners and can bend the lower third.
- Hair pulled back if you care about the thirds layer; the slider helps, but skin beats estimation.
- Avoid wide-angle selfies for the same reason — lens stretch inflates width and deflates the height ratio.
- Take off glasses so the eye layer measures your anatomy, not your frames.
Test the same face with two cameras and you will see the real limits: the face beauty ratio sheet changes by a few points between a selfie lens and a proper camera. That spread — not any single number — is the honest takeaway of proportion analysis.
Apply it
What people actually use a face beauty ratio sheet for
Beyond curiosity, the numbers have practical, low-stakes uses.
Glasses and hair: strong jaw ratios point toward balancing frame shapes, a high forehead ratio suggests fringe options, and the shape detector page turns the same measurements into six styling categories. Photography: knowing your spacing ratio helps you choose squinch and eye-line poses on purpose instead of by luck. Makeup: eyeliner angle interacts with your spacing and eye-width numbers in ways makeup guides discuss constantly.
And for the score-curious: the face beauty ratio components feed the transparent geometry index behind the PSL-style pages — same landmarks, same arithmetic, different lens. Start here if you want the raw proportions; start there if you want the compressed number.
