Front view - Mouth and lips
Interpupillary to mouth width
Mouth width divided by interpupillary distance. It sizes the mouth against the eyes; mid-range values keep the mouth neither pinched nor overly wide for the face.
What counts as ideal
The ideal band differs by sex for this measurement: 0.83 to 0.87 for men and 0.74 to 0.78 for women. A reading anywhere inside the band scores a full 10.
Male ideal
0.83 to 0.87
Female ideal
0.74 to 0.78
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 0.62 and 1.07: 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.
Interpupillary to mouth width 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.
