The Ideal Frontal Ratios and how to measure them
These are all frontal ratios you need to know.
My ratios are from renowned raters like FaceIQ and more.
Keep in mind there's much more to ratings, like the weighting of the ratios, tiers outside of the ideal, dimorphism, angularity, ...
If you need help with those feel free to DM me
1. Measuring points you need to know:
Before we start with measuring, you should know these rather confusing terms
Feel free to Google them if you're still unsure
2. Ideal Frontal Ratios:
3. How to measure your ratios:
For those who of you who are still trying to figure out to accurately utilize these ratios, I'll give you a quick explanation
3.1 How to take a proper picture:
You might not believe it, but the picture you're using can completely mess up the analysis.

That's why you should make sure to use a certain kind of portrait.
With lense distortion being the main culprit, do the following.
For ideal results, do this:
3.2 How to measure:
For measuring, you'll need a tool that can count the pixels of your image.
Here are some examples for the device you're using.

In Depth Explanation about how truly brutal Lens Distortion is.
TLDR: Lens Distortion is the devil. If your phone doesn't have a camera with at least a 50mm Focal Length Telephoto Lens. Don't ever take pictures basically. The distance between you and the camera means nothing if the camera doesn't have the focal length to match. Cut straight to the chase, I...

That's why you should make sure to use a certain kind of portrait.
With lense distortion being the main culprit, do the following.
For ideal results, do this:
- Put camera on eye level
- Stand 6 feet away
- Use back camera with 2x/3x zoom
3.2 How to measure:
For measuring, you'll need a tool that can count the pixels of your image.
Here are some examples for the device you're using.
If you're on PC, try:
- Gimp (free)
- Adobe Photoshop (popular)
- Image meter (cheap, simple)
- https://eleif.net/photomeasure
- Image editor (depending on device)
- IbisPaint X
This took like 8h to make
