10. Midface

• Quite essential for an aesthetic appearance, but not so much important for an actual male physical attractiveness.
• Keep in mind that I refer specifically and only to the midface height (relatively to the IPD (distance between the eyes)) - MFR and EME angle, and NOT any of the other closely related ratios (commonly interchangeable with the midface for some people), nose length or philtrum length.
• Midface ratio (ipd/midface height) should be around 0.95-1 and EME (eye mouth eye) angle around 48.
• Higher midface ratios (shorter midface) are associated with a more feminine appearance, lower values with a more robust and masculine appearance (in a less aesthetic type of way).

9. Eyebrows

• Can't significantly alter one's facial attractiveness if there's at least some eyebrow contrast present across the browridge.
• Wide (visible inner and outer corners eyebrows region), thick, closet set (vertically) eyebrows.

VS


8. Facial Angularity - IMPORTANT

• I'm talking specifically about the contour of the face here. Not the general facial leanness, but certain facial bones spots angularity.
• Angularity spots: temporal cave in, cheekbones outwards, ramus cave in, gonions outwards, mandible cave in, chin outwards (square).

VS


7. Mouth and Lips - VERY IMPORTANT

• While not the most important facial feature, if not right can easily create a weirdly unaesthetic tone to the rest of the face.
• Mouth width 1.5 times the nose base width and 30% of the bizygomatic width.
• Full lips with 1:1.6 ratio (the lower lip having slightly more volume than the upper lip).

VS


6. Health Indicators (+ facial symmetry) - VERY IMPORTANT

• Clear, homogenous (even) skin texture without wrinkles, acne scars, signs of skin aging or other skin imperfections.
• Symmetrical facial features like hairline, temporal bones, eyebrows, eyes (+ eye focus (no amblyopia)), nose bridge and tip, lips, chin, cheekbones, and mandible alignment.
• Posture imbalances: "nerd neck" + significant back head tilt and slouched spine in chest region combo.
• Straight hairline without balding patterns.

5. Nose (tip and bridge parameters, NOT length) - VERY IMPORTANT

• Too wide nose tip with a round shape.
• Symmetrical.
• Nasal base width between 1/4-1/5 of the bizygomatic width.
• Neutral nose tip rotation (no excessive downturn or upturn).

VS


4. Eyes - EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

• I'm talking about the eyes morphology separately from the eyebrows appearance here.
• Great orbital bone support - deep set, compact, and wide eyes (high PFL, low PFH).

VS


3. Facial Width (too narrow specifically) - EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

• Both bizygomatic (cheekbones) and bigonial (jaw) width should be rather on the higher end of the average (but wider bizygomatic than bigonial - adds an enhanced angularity aspect = better).
• Significantly narrow facial width creates an appearance of an unhealthy, malnourished (in a crack addict type of way) and generally weird appearance.

VS


2. Balanced Facial Thirds Heights (especially middle (which is technically Nose + Glabella height) to lower) - EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

• Balanced middle to lower facial height ratio is the essential and pretty complex one. Includes such important individual facial features as: nose height, philtrum height, and chin height.
• Disproportionally long middle face height (in comparison to lower face height specifically), commonly known as "SFS" is enough to break the masculine appearance of one's face (even despite any other dimorphic feature).
• Disproportionally long lower face height (in comparison to middle face height specifically) creates an unaesthetic ogre / shrek-like appearance (commonly presents itself as short nose + long philtrum combo).
• Disproportionally long upper face height (forehead) - undesirable feminine and too juvenile appearance.
• Disproportionally short upper face height (forehead) - unaesthetic ogre / neanderthal-like appearance.

VS


1. Facial Leanness - THE MOST IMPORTANT

• Appearance of “tight” facial skin without any visible facial fat sagging.
• Shows the underlying bone structure, increases perceived facial depth via various shadows under various lighting.
• The desired appearance depends not only on the obvious total low BF% levels but on the underlying bone morphology AND certain soft tissues morphology.

Important Mention

This TOP chart is only relevant for the mentioned facial features ranging from LTN (just below the avg., NOT 0/10) to CHAD tier, so its not adapted for extremely unattractive, deformed level facial features.

Insights and Conclusion

• Only features of importance 1-3, depending on their qualities can completely reverse the attractiveness of ones face.
• Bad eyes (separately from the eyebrows) can still significantly reduce the attractiveness, BUT not to an extent it is expected - much less.
• Midface height (longer) or lower MFR alone is not that important. Very little SMV decrease, if any, but looks less aesthetic
• On the other hand - balanced heights of middle facial third (which basically = midface height) and lower facial third (feature number 2) is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
• Eyebrows are not that important (not talking about the cases where the density is so low, it doesnt have any contrast with the surrounding skin)
• The single most important facial feature is one of the easiest to fix + you can do it nonsurgically - facial leanness = just lose bf% (significant hopefuel)
