Nose
Front view nose parameters
- 0.67x of the mouth width
- 1/5 of bizygomatic width
- At least a bit refined nose tip.
Side view nose parameters
- Nose shape can be either too downturned and droopy looking, perfect, or too upturned (too short).
- Both downturned and upturned are not ideal.
- To avoid any measurement errors, the picture is always aligned in Frankfurt plane before you start the analysis.
3 angles to determine where a person's nose shape falls under on the spectrum from too upturned, perfect or too downturned:
- Dorsum plane to Nose tip projection angle = DNTP (counting deviation from 180° or straight line):
- Nostrils axis angle (inclination compared to horizon):
- Septum inclination angle (inclination compared to horizon):
The perfect values for each of 3 angles are:
- Dorsal plane to Nose tip angle: 0° (straight nose).
- Nostrils axis angle: +7°.
- Septum inclination angle: +10° to +15°.
The final formula to determine nose shape:
(I'll use Delon values as an example)
- X = Dorsum plane to Nose tip projection angle (DNTP):
X = +14
- Y1 = Person's value minus perfect value for nostrils axis angle:
Y1 = 7 (nostrils axis angle) - 7 (perfect value) = 0
- Y2 = Person's value minus perfect value for septum inclination angle:
Y2 = 7 - 13 = -6
- Y = Total nose tip inclination value = (Y1 + Y2) / 2:
Y = (0 + (-6)) / 2 = -3
- X + Y = Person's total nose shape value:
X + Y = +11
Interpretation of the results. Person total nose shape value:
- -30° up to -40°: maximum downturned nose shape = lower end is turbo unappealing.
- Gandy is around -36° for reference:
- -20° to -30°: significantly downturned nose shape = lower end is significantly unappealing.
- -10° to -20°: not perfect, but fine = not much of a looksmin at this point (but lower = worse).
- O'pry is around -10° for reference:
- 0° to -10°: around perfect = practically perfect (but lower = worse).
- 0° to +10°: perfect.
- Franco is around +5° for reference:
- +10° to +15°: around perfect = practically perfect (but lower = better).
- +15° to +25°: not perfect, but fine = not much of a looksmin at this point (but lower = better).
- +25° to +35°: significantly upturned nose shape = higher end is significantly unappealing.
- Basso is around +35° for reference:
- +35° up to +45°: maximum upturned nose shape = higher end is turbo unappealing.
Accuracy:
- This method is pretty accurate, cos even if you mess any angle by a couple of degrees, it's not that sensitive and the result values would still reflect the actual nose shape.
Limitations:
- This method does not include everything. So there's still a really low chance of having a bad looking nose despite having the perfect values according to my method. It's not cos I don't know how to include everything, I know exactly how to make it work every single time. I keep it this way just to reduce the unnecessary complexity of the analysis, cos the chances of inaccurate results are so low, it's not worth it to include all the not so generally useful but time-consuming angles just to avoid the chance of 1 inaccurate result out of like 1000.
