Upper lip (E-line)

Position of the upper lip against Ricketts' E-line from the nose tip to the chin, in millimeters. The classical norm places the upper lip slightly behind this line.

What counts as ideal

The ideal band differs by sex for this measurement: 1.2 mm to 5.8 mm for men and -0.6 mm to 4.0 mm for women. A reading anywhere inside the band scores a full 10.

Male ideal

1.2 mm to 5.8 mm

Female ideal

-0.6 mm to 4.0 mm

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 -8.0 mm and 10.6 mm: 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.

Upper lip (E-line) 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.
