Measurements

How to read a facial measurement

A ratio describes a relationship in a photograph. It does not tell you whether a feature should change.

Photography

Changing the way you photograph a face can change the impression of its proportions.

A width ratio gives one description of an image. Styling decisions need more context.

Face shape is a description, not a rulebook

Face-shape categories can be a conversational shortcut. They are not a complete styling system.

Your assessment

Evidence

What a reference does—and does not—prove

A citation is useful only when you can see how it supports the claim beside it.
