People search for a way to rate a face because they want an answer about how they look. This page will not give you one. It gives you the measurements that some rating systems use: symmetry, the balance of the facial thirds and how closely two width ratios sit to the golden ratio.
That is a smaller thing than a rating, and it is more honest. Attraction is social and personal. A geometry reading cannot tell you how you look to other people, and it cannot tell you what you are worth. It can tell you what your landmarks do, which is all this page claims.
Shape by shape
Start with your face shape
The measurements make more sense next to a shape. Each of the seven pages explains the ratios and links to the hairstyle, glasses, brow and beard pages written for it.
- OvalLonger than wide, with a gently narrower jaw.
- RoundShort, full and soft at the corners.
- SquareA jaw that holds its width all the way down.
- HeartThe width is at the top, the point is at the bottom.
- DiamondThe width sits in the middle of the face.
- OblongLength is the story; width is the fix.
- TriangleThe widest line sits at the bottom.
The detail
What changes the reading
What a rate my face page can and cannot do
It can measure. The tool finds 478 landmarks, compares ten mirrored pairs, divides the face into thirds and compares two width ratios with the golden ratio. Each result is repeatable on the same photo, and the method is the same one used on the symmetry and attractiveness pages.
It cannot rank you. There is no out-of-ten, no star rating and no comparison with anyone else. A number from a photo is not a statement about your face in a room, your expression, your voice or the way people respond to you.
What the measurements cover
Symmetry is the average difference between ten mirrored landmark pairs, scaled by the distance between your pupils. The scale is this site's own rather than a published norm, so the number is most useful next to your own photos taken the same way.
Facial thirds compares the height of the forehead, midface and lower face. Golden-ratio closeness compares two width ratios with 1.618. A high reading means the proportions are close to that ratio, not that the face is better.
The free result is your proportion index, built from the thirds and the golden-ratio reading. The full analysis lists each of these readings with your symmetry, plus face length, forehead, cheekbone and jaw width and the jaw angle, with the ratios they produce.
Why there is no score
A single score hides the trade-offs. It collapses several measurements with different meanings into one number, and the weights are arbitrary. Two faces with the same score can have very different symmetry, thirds and ratios.
A score also invites comparison, which is the part of this search that does the most harm. Hue & Shape is for adults 18 and over (see the terms) for the same reason: a proportions reading can land badly, especially for younger people. If a number about your face would stay with you today, it is fine to close the page.
If you want a second reading
Take the same photo again in a different light, or use a photo taken straight on rather than a selfie at arm's length. The measurements should be close. If they are not, the camera angle or the light is doing more work than the face.
The face symmetry test gives the same symmetry reading with more detail on the pairs. The attractiveness test covers the proportions with a longer explanation. Both keep the photo on your device.
Questions
Rate my face questions
Can this page rate my face out of ten?
No. It reports measurements: symmetry, facial thirds, golden-ratio closeness and the underlying distances. There is no out-of-ten and no overall score, because a single number hides more than it explains.
Who is this page for?
Hue & Shape is for adults 18 and over (see the terms). The page measures geometry and reports each number with what it does and does not mean, because a reading about a face can affect how someone feels about their appearance.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The analysis runs in your browser with a model served from this site. The image never leaves your device, and only the measurements can be saved, and only if you ask.
Is a symmetry score a rating of attractiveness?
No. Symmetry appears in some research on how people judge faces, but the effect is small and contested. This page measures geometry and does not claim to explain attraction.
