Front view - Jaw, neck and lower face

Lower third proportion

The share of the lower third taken up by the nose-to-mouth segment. The classical split places the mouth line about a third of the way from nose base to chin, leaving the chin the remaining two thirds.

What counts as ideal

The ideal band is 31.00% to 33.50% for both men and women. A reading anywhere inside the band scores a full 10.

Ideal range

31.00% to 33.50%

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 29.00% and 35.50%: 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.

Lower third proportion 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.
