Facial Harmony Test
Facial harmony is how well the parts of a face fit together: how the thirds stack, how wide the face is against its height, where the eyes sit, how the jaw finishes it. This test measures eight of those relationships on your photo and gives a 0–100 harmony index, with the features in and out of balance named.

How it is measured
How many proportions sit inside their bands.
Each of eight readings gets a component from 0 to 1: 1 anywhere inside its reference band, halving for every tolerance step outside it. Components are weighted (symmetry most, eye spacing least) and summed. The harmony index is that weighted sum out of 100: 100 means every proportion sits inside its band in this photo.
- Symmetry · 25%
- Left–right balance of eyes, brows, mouth, jaw and chin.
- Golden ratio · 15%
- Five classical ratios against 1.618.
- Facial thirds · 15%
- Upper, middle and lower third, 30–36% each.
- fWHR · 10%
- Cheekbone width against upper-face height.
- Midface · 10%
- Pupil span against pupil-to-lip height.
- Canthal tilt · 10%
- Neutral to positive eye corners.
- Jaw · 10%
- Jaw angle and jaw width.
- Eye spacing · 5%
- Inner-corner gap against eye width.

FAQ
What is facial harmony?+
In aesthetics, harmony describes proportion between features rather than any one feature: a strong jaw on a long face reads differently from the same jaw on a short face. Measuring it means looking at ratios, which is what this test does.
What is a good facial harmony score?+
Above 75 means most readings sit inside their bands; above 90 nearly all of them. Most straight-on photos score between 60 and 90. The breakdown under the number matters more than the number.
Is facial harmony the same as attractiveness?+
No. Harmony is one ingredient. Skin, hair, expression, grooming and how you carry yourself are not measured here and change how a face is seen.
How is this different from the face rating?+
Same eight readings. The face rating maps them onto a 1–10 curve; the harmony index shows the plain weighted share inside the bands.
Is my photo uploaded?+
