Side view - Profile convexity

Interior midface projection

The inclination of the line from the outer eye corner to the nostril crease, read against the horizontal. It reflects how far the midface projects forward under the eyes; mid-range angles are preferred.

What counts as ideal

The ideal band is 53.0 deg to 60.0 deg for both men and women. A reading anywhere inside the band scores a full 10.

Ideal range

53.0 deg to 60.0 deg

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 32.0 deg and 70.0 deg: 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.

Interior midface projection 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.
