How attractive is Lionel Messi - Facial Harmony Analysis
Argentine footballer known for Barcelona and winning the World Cup with Argentina
High cheekbones, a broad jaw and upward-tilted eyes give him a strong facial frame. A longer midface, a narrow mouth relative to his nose and a soft jaw-to-neck transition reduce the compactness and definition.

Biggest strengths
These measurements sit in or right beside their ideal ranges and carry your score.
Ideal nose proportions
10.0This contributes to a refined nose due to its projection and height sitting in classical proportion.
Nasal width to height (side view)
Ideal lip fullness
10.0This contributes to attractive lips due to the lip height sitting in proportion with the width of the mouth.
Lip fullness (front view)
Ideal jaw width
10.0This contributes to a harmonious lower face due to the jaw being neither too narrow nor too wide for the cheekbones.
Bigonial width (front view)
Ideal jaw angle
10.0This contributes to a harmonious lower face due to the jaw not lacking definition or being overly sharp at its corner.
Gonial angle (side view)
Ideal neck width
10.0This contributes to a proportionate frame due to the neck sizing well against the jaw.
Neck width (front view)
Matched midface and jaw lines
10.0This contributes to overall harmony due to the midface and jaw tapering along nearly the same lines.

Areas to improve
5 features stand out - fixing what is fixable here moves your score the most.
Narrow midface
-0.52The face is narrow for its midface height, which stretches the center of the face vertically.
Face width to height (front view)
Narrow alar angle
-0.37The 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)
Narrow mouth for the nose
-0.30The mouth is barely wider than the nose base, which can make the nose read wide.
Mouth to nose width (front view)
Soft chin-neck definition
-0.29The angle under the chin is open, which reads as a soft or receding under-chin area.
Submental cervical angle (side view)
Flat nasal root
-0.24The transition from forehead to nose is shallow, which flattens the profile at the root.
Nasofrontal angle (side view)

Lionel Messi's strongest and weakest features
Lionel Messi scores 5.64 overall, 5.82 front and 5.34 side. His facial thirds, jaw angle and lips are his strongest features, and his costs come from a long midface, a narrow nose angle, a narrow mouth, a soft jaw-to-neck line, a shallow step from brow to nose and a jaw that narrows toward the chin.
From the front, his upper, middle and lower thirds and temples are in band, and his cheekbones sit high. His outer eye corners tilt correctly, and his jaw angle matches the angle from nose base to outer eye corners, as the ideal asks. His chin is in proportion to his philtrum, his lips are full, his upper lip is the ideal length, and his mouth corners sit well. His ears sit flat, and his jaw and neck are the right width. In profile, his upper forehead is in band, his cheek sits correctly forward of his eye, and his facial convexity at the nose base is in band. His nose's forward length is in proportion to its height, and his nasolabial angle, tip angle, mid nose projection and the incline of the underside of his nose are ideal. His upper lip sits on the Burstone reference, and his jaw corner angle, jaw plane, rear jaw length and jaw corner height are ideal.
His largest cost is that his midface reads long for the width of his cheekbones, at 1.69 where 1.96 to 2 is ideal, which takes about 0.52 of a point. The angle from the base of his nose to his outer eye corners is narrow, at 76.7 degrees against 86.5 to 92.5, and his mouth is narrow for his nose, at 1.20 nose widths against 1.42 to 1.5. In profile, his jaw eases into his neck, at 140.8 degrees against 94 to 106, and the step from his brow to his nose is shallow, at 144.1 degrees against 116 to 128. His jaw narrows to a pointed taper toward the chin, at 78.2 degrees against 86.5 to 92.5.
