Side view - Lips

Upper lip (Burstone)

How far the upper lip sits forward of Burstone's line from the nose base to the chin, in millimeters. Lips slightly ahead of the line are the classical norm; large values read protrusive and negative values recessed.

By RateMyFaceAI. Methodology

Reference ideal range

The ideal band is -5.2 mm to -1.8 mm for both men and women. A reading anywhere inside the band scores a full 10.

These are the default reference bands used by this analyzer, not population averages or universal standards of attractiveness. The celebrity table uses each profile's applicable band, including ancestry-specific ranges where available.

Ideal range

-5.2 mm to -1.8 mm

How it is scored

A reading inside the reference band scores 10. Outside it, the score falls with distance from the band. The displayed score applies the same profile-specific compression used in the report, and it stops at 0; different outlying readings can therefore share a displayed zero.

Upper lip (Burstone) is one of 68 measurements in the harmony pillar. No single measurement decides a face: each one contributes its own shortfall to a weighted mean, and each shortfall is capped before weighting. The overall score combines the front and side profiles; it is not a simple average of the displayed rows.

How 309 celebrities measure

Every profile in the library, measured from AI-placed, hand-verified landmarks and scored against the band for that person's sex and ancestry. Readings run from -15.6 mm to 2.7 mm, with a median of -3.6 mm. 198 of 309 land inside the ideal band.

The in-band profiles are listed first, ordered by how near the middle of the band the reading sits: 0% is dead centre and 100% is the edge of the band. They all score a flat 10, so that order separates readings the score cannot. It is not a claim that the centre of the band beats its edge. Everyone else follows in a collapsed table: any in-band profile past the first 50, then the 111 outside the band, ordered by score.
