THIS ISN'T AN IDEAL RATIOS GUIDE THIS IS HOW TO IMPROVE THE PERCEPTION OF YOUR RATIOS IF THEY AREN'T IDEAL
(i also forgot to mention that the ideal depends on your racial background but these ratios still give you a good idea)
Ideal Eye Seperation Ratio - 44.3 -> 47.7
Ideal Facial thirds - 29.5% -> 36.5% where ideally the lower third is the largest
Ideal Canthal Tilt (degrees) - 5.1 -> 8.5
Ideal FWHR - 1.9 -> 2.06
Ideal Total FWHR - 1.33 -> 1.38
Ideal Bigonial width - 0.85 -> 0.92
Ideal Chin To Philtrum Ratio - 2.05 -> 2.55
Ideal Neck Width - 0.9 -> 1
Ideal Eyebrow setting - 0.66>
Ideal Eye Aspect Ratio - 2.8+
Ideal Eyebrow Tilt (degrees) - 5 -> 13
Bitemporal Width - 0.84 -> 0.95
keep in mind 99% of the ratios that I didn't mention will be improved by just losing facial fat.

Ideal Eye Seperation Ratio - 44.3 -> 47.7
If your eye separation ratio is higher than ideal, a good way to create balance is by adding volume to the sides of your hair and shaping your eyebrows slightly closer together. This helps bring the eyes visually closer and enhances overall facial harmony.
If your eye separation is lower than ideal, you can create balance by allowing your hair to slightly cover the cheekbones and extending your eyebrows outward horizontally. A great example of this is male model Jordan Barrett — he uses this perception trick to his advantage. Despite having a high facial width, his styling choices make his eyes appear further set, creating a more balanced and proportionate look.
As you can see, when he allows his hair to cover his cheekbones, it visually widens the eye area and enhances the overall harmony of his eye area.


Ideal Facial thirds - 29.5% -> 36.5% where ideally the lower third is the largest
A tall upper third can throw off facial balance. To reduce its perceived height, consider covering part of your forehead with longer hairstyles that fall forward, like a fringe or forward-styled layers. This compresses the visual space and draws more attention toward the center of the face. Looksmaxxer 'ehren' shows us a good example of this


If your forehead is on the shorter side, adding volume to the hair on top of your head can enhance the upper third by creating the illusion of more height. Alternatively, you can cover the upper third slightly with longer hair at the front or a forward-swept style to soften the transition and create balance.
A shorter lower third can be visually lengthened by growing facial hair. A beard—especially one with some length on the chin—can add perceived height and help balance the lower portion of the face

Ideal Canthal Tilt (degrees) - 5.1 -> 8.5
Trimming the eyelashes around your lateral canthus (outer corner of your eyes) can subtly enhance the appearance of your canthal tilt.
Ideal FWHR - 1.9 -> 2.06
Losing facial fat can reduce your perceived FWHR, as it may make the face appear narrower. With less volume around the cheeks and jawline, the width of the face is less emphasized
Adding volume or texture to the sides of the hair can create the illusion of a wider face. Try a hairstyle with more body around the ears and cheekbones. A great example of this is actor Adrien Brody — when he adds volume to the sides of his hair, his facial proportions appear more balanced overall.


Ideal Total FWHR - 1.33 -> 1.38
To decrease your perceived total FWHR, you can add more volume to the sides of your hair, which creates the illusion of a narrower face. Additionally, covering part of your forehead with hair can reduce the emphasis on the upper third of your face, helping to balance out your proportions and visually decrease the length of your face.
Increasing your facial height is essentially the opposite of the approach above. To create the illusion of more facial height, keep your hair short on the sides while adding volume on top. This draws the eye upward and enhances the perceived vertical proportions of your face.
Ideal Bigonial width - 0.85 -> 0.92
You can increase your bigonial (jaw) width by training your masseter muscles - chewing hard foods or gum regularly helps strengthen these muscles, which can lead to a more pronounced jawline and wider bigonial width over time. Note, however, that chewing excessively can lead to jaw issues like TMJ, so it's important to do this in moderation.

Ideal Chin To Philtrum Ratio - 2.05 -> 2.55
facial hair can add perceived height to the chin, helping to create the appearance of a higher chin-to-philtrum ratio. A well-groomed beard or goatee can lengthen the chin and balance facial proportions.
Ideal Neck Width - 0.9 -> 1
A thin neck can be easily addressed with some targeted training. Strengthening and toning the neck muscles not only improves facial harmony, giving you a more balanced appearance, but also enhances your facial sexual dimorphism, making your features appear more traditionally masculine.

Ideal Eyebrow setting - 0.66>
Shaping the eyebrows by growing them towards the interior of your nose can alter their perceived position and shape, often creating the illusion of lower brows. Additionally, reducing a high arch or excessive volume on the outer portion of the brows can help create the appearance of lower, more balanced eyebrows.
Ideal Eye Aspect Ratio - 2.8+
Dark, thick, and curled lashes can increase your perceived PFL (palpebral fissure length) - this is an extremely easy looksmax - As you can see, they make Zayn Malik's eyes look much more striking and appealing.

Ideal Eyebrow Tilt (degrees) - 5 -> 13
Repositioning brow hairs through brushing and setting can create either an upturned appearance or a flatter arch, depending on your desired look. Additionally, waxing and plucking eyebrows are effective strategies to achieve the perfect shape.
Bitemporal Width - 0.84 -> 0.95
keeping your hair shorter on the sides or covering your forehead can help balance your proportions. These styling choices can reduce the emphasis on the width of the upper face, creating a more harmonious overall appearance.
