Front view - Nose
Nose bridge to nose width
Nostril (alar) width divided by nose bridge width. It captures how much the nose flares from bridge to base; mid-range values keep the base in proportion with the bridge.
What counts as ideal
The ideal band differs by sex for this measurement: 2.06 to 2.14 for men and 2.14 to 2.22 for women. A reading anywhere inside the band scores a full 10.
Male ideal
2.06 to 2.14
Female ideal
2.14 to 2.22
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 1.74 and 2.46: 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.
Nose bridge to nose 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.
