What the score measures
The score combines six components. Each is measured from your scan and scored from 0 to 100, where a typical face scores 50:
- Symmetry (20%). How closely the left and right halves of your face mirror each other, after correcting for head roll.
- Averageness (20%). How close your face shape is to the population mean face, across 468 landmarks. Faces near the average are consistently rated as more attractive.
- Proportions (15%). How even your vertical thirds and horizontal fifths are, and the spacing of your eyes.
- Eyes (15%). Canthal tilt, how open the eyes are, and their size relative to the width of the face.
- Jaw and chin (15%). Jaw width against cheekbone width, the angle at the jaw corner, and chin width.
- Profile (15%). From the side angles: jaw angle, how far the chin and nose project, and the angle between nose and upper lip.
The weighted components are mapped to 1.0–10.0 with a curve that puts a typical face at exactly 5.0. Repeat scans of the same face move it by at most ±0.2 in our noise tests. The methodology gives every weight and the formula itself.
How the scan works
You look straight at the camera, turn left, turn right, tilt up and tilt down. Each angle is captured automatically once your head holds still inside the target window for 0.6 seconds, as a burst of 8 frames. Google’s MediaPipe Face Landmarker, running in your browser, places 478 points on your face in every frame. The frames are combined by taking the median of each point, then measured and scored in under a second. Nothing leaves your device.
How to read your score
| Score | Tier |
|---|---|
| below 4.0 | Below average |
| 4.0–5.4 | Average |
| 5.5–6.9 | Above average |
| 7.0–8.4 | Well above average |
| 8.5 and above | Exceptional |
The score is geometric: it measures the shape of your face against published findings. It does not see skin, hair, expression or style, all of which change how a real person is rated. The curve is steepest around 5, so the difference between 5.0 and 6.0 is easier to gain than between 8.0 and 9.0.
What moves it
Some changes are in the scan, not your face. A phone held close exaggerates the nose and narrows the face. Light from one side shifts landmarks on the darker side. A smile changes the eyes and jaw. Hair over the forehead or jaw hides edges the model has to guess. Scan in even, front-facing light with a neutral expression and you will measure your face, not the conditions.
Some changes are real. A beard shaped to square the jaw changes the jaw-to-cheekbone ratio. Lower body fat sharpens the jaw angle. Hair that frames the face changes how its width reads, though the scan measures the face, not the hair. The report lists the changes that apply to your measurements.
Getting a clean scan
- Face a window or another soft light source; avoid a single lamp to one side.
- Prop the phone at eye level, about an arm’s length away or a little further.
- Pull your hair off your forehead and jaw, and take off glasses.
- Keep a relaxed, neutral face: mouth closed, no smile, brows at rest.
- Turn your head, not your shoulders, when the prompt asks for left and right.
What the full report adds
The free result is your score and tier. The Full Face Report costs $9, paid once, and shows the six components with their values, your strongest and weakest features in one plain sentence each, your profile drawn from your own landmarks, the five angles with the spread of each measurement, and the specific changes that would move your score. It is built on your device; there is no subscription, account or email list.
The same scan also gives your face shape and canthal tilt.
