Biggest strengths
These measurements sit in or right beside their ideal ranges and carry your score.
Ideal cheekbone height
10.0This contributes to a well-supported midface due to the widest point of the cheekbones sitting high.
Cheekbone height (front view)
Ideal upper lip position (Burstone)
10.0This contributes to balanced lips due to the upper lip sitting classically just ahead of Burstone's line.
Upper lip (Burstone) (side view)
Ideal lower lip position (E-line)
10.0This contributes to balanced lips due to the lower lip sitting classically just behind Ricketts' E-line.
Lower lip (E-line) (side view)
Ideal lower lip position (Burstone)
10.0This contributes to balanced lips due to the lower lip sitting classically just ahead of Burstone's line.
Lower lip (Burstone) (side view)
Ideal lower lip position (S-line)
10.0This contributes to balanced lips due to the lower lip sitting on Steiner's S-line.
Lower lip (S-line) (side view)
Ideal nose tip definition
10.0This contributes to a refined nose due to the tip being defined without being pinched.

Areas to improve
5 features stand out - fixing what is fixable here moves your score the most.
Heavy lower lip
-0.38The lower lip is much fuller than the upper, which can unbalance the mouth.
Lower to upper lip ratio (front view)
Midface-jaw mismatch
-0.37The midface and jaw taper along visibly different lines, which reads as disharmony between the upper and lower face.
Deviation of IAA and JFA (front view)
Narrow alar angle
-0.36The angle from the nose base to the eye corners is tight, which reads as a long midface or close-set eyes.
Ipsilateral alar angle (front view)
Flared nose base
-0.29The nose base is wide relative to the bridge, which can make the nostrils read flared.
Nose bridge to nose width (front view)
Wide intercanthal spacing
-0.29There is more than one eye-width of space between the eyes, which reads wide-set.

Percentiles are modelled estimates centred on an average face at 5.0, not measured population data. Results depend on precise landmark placement, camera angle, and image quality.
James Franco's strongest and weakest features
James Franco scores 5.36 overall, with an even front and side (5.22 and 5.58). His lips in profile and his face shape are his strongest features, and his costs come from the lips seen head-on, the nose base, the eye spacing and the midface in profile.
From the front, his middle and lower thirds and his temples are in band, and his cheekbones sit high. His brows are the right length for the face, his mouth corners sit well, his jaw slope is ideal, and his ears sit flat. In profile, his brow ridge and facial convexity are in band, his nose tip angle and bridge line are ideal, his lips sit on every reference line we measure (Burstone, S-line, E-line and Holdaway), and his jaw corner angle is ideal.
His largest cost is his lips: his upper lip is thin against his lower, at a ratio of 2.88 where 1.55 to 1.85 is ideal, which takes about 0.38 of a point. The angle from the base of his nose to his outer eye corners is narrow, at 78 degrees against 86.5 to 92.5, and it differs from his jaw angle by 16.7 degrees against 2.5 or less. His nose bridge reads narrow against the width of his nostrils, at 2.41 against 2.06 to 2.14, and his eyes are set wide for their length, at 1.35 against 1.05 to 1.1. In profile, the line from his outer eye corner to his nose base drops steeply, at 75.9 degrees against 53 to 60, so his midface carries the nose base forward less than ideal.
