Angularity · measured from a front photo
Jaw : cheekbone width
Jaw-angle width divided by cheekbone width. Cheekbones clearly wider than the jaw read as lean and defined; a jaw as wide as the cheeks usually means facial fat (Coetzee 2009).
Reference range
| Male | Female | |
|---|---|---|
| Range scored 10/10 | 0.78 to 0.81 | 0.78 to 0.81 |
Outside the range the score falls off smoothly: about 6/10 at 0.05 outside it and about 1.4/10 at twice that. Ranges are compiled from facial-aesthetics research and the neoclassical canons; they describe averages of faces rated attractive, not a medical standard.
What can fool it
Mesh jaw points sit slightly inside the true gonion; soft tissue and beard shift it.
Where it counts
It feeds the Angularity pillar (jaw, chin and neck definition), which is 20% of the overall LooksAudit score.
