Front view - Face shape
Cheekbone height
How high the widest point of the cheekbones sits, measured up from the chin as a share of the chin-to-pupil distance. Higher-set cheekbones are conventionally read as a marker of a well-supported midface.
What counts as ideal
The ideal band is 83.00% to 100.00% for both men and women. A reading anywhere inside the band scores a full 10.

How it is scored
Everything inside the band scores 10, and the penalty accelerates the further a reading falls outside it rather than dropping off a cliff at the edge. For the male band, the falloff is measured against bounds of 61.70% and 120.55%: a reading out at either of those has spent its full allowance and scores about 3. The curve keeps going past them, so an extreme reading still separates from a merely poor one.
Cheekbone height is one of 67 measurements in the harmony pillar. No single measurement decides a face: each one contributes its own shortfall to a weighted mean, and one hopeless measurement costs a full measurement's worth and never more.
