Rather than measure the very distinctive cupid’s bow of the lips in relation to the width, they omitted this marker and measured the ratio of half the width of the mouth to its height.They used the pupils of the eyes in only two vertical measures.The researchers based two other ratios on a midpoint between the eyebrows, which is certainly not as fundamental to the definition of the face as the eyes, nose and mouth.The hairline is one of the most highly variable facial features by individual, and is also impacted by hair styles or male pattern baldness. The study based half of its ratios on the hairline, which is a weak marker.Their study didn’t include the width of the face in its measures, nor were the inside and outside positions of the eyes included as markers.Note how different their markers and ratios are from those in the Meisner Beauty Guide: Of these, they used data on 14 facial markers for a study on attractiveness, from which they calculated 10 facial ratios (see below right). This happened because they were measuring a different set of facial markers, and calculating a variety of alternative ratios.Īs an example, one study by Italian researchers titled “ The role of the golden proportion in the evaluation of facial aesthetics” captured over 30 facial markers using a very sophisticated imaging technology called 3D stereophotogrammetry (see below left). My review of these studies invariably reveals that the researchers simply missed the most basic golden ratios. Many have concluded that golden ratios do not exist, or have only a very limited presence. Why are golden ratios in the human face often missed by researchers?Ī number of studies over the years have sought to determine whether golden ratio proportions exist in human facial features.

Click on the image below for a full resolution view. To distinguish this system from other facial analysis systems (e.g., the Marquardt Beauty Mask, etc.), I’ll call this the “Meisner Beauty Guide for Golden Ratio Facial Analysis,” or the “Meisner Beauty Guide” for short. There are a number of additional golden ratios that can also be found in many faces, but some are not as clear and universal as these. Even so, I recommend these markers and ratios to researchers for their use in assessing the appearance and validity of golden ratios in studies of facial analysis and attractiveness. They identify common golden ratio proportions that can be found in many attractive human faces.Įvery face is unique though, even very beautiful ones, so few faces embody every one of these these proportions exactly. This basic set of facial markers has been identified and validated through my analysis of hundreds of faces. They provide a very simple and logical set of the points that are required to construct the most basic features of a human face.
