Facial Symmetry & AI Analysis
Check the Result Against Your Outline
Check the Result Against Your Outline starts with the outer line of the face, not with one feature in the middle of it. Check the result by seeing whether its outline follows your forehead, cheeks, jaw, and chin.
A symmetry note describes how even the two sides look in that photo. It is not a beauty score. The picture above is the pin for this guide. The same page is the link on the pins that belong with it.

How to read the outline
If you searched for “check against your outline”, stay with the contour. Name the shape only after you can see where the face is long and where it is wide.
If it follows, the name is doing its job. The result names a shared pattern, such as oval or heart.
It does not describe a person beyond that outline. In a result, forehead width is the top measurement.
Compare it with the jaw width next to it. Wider on top supports heart.
When two names both seem possible
In a result, cheek width is the middle measurement. If it leads the other two, diamond is the pattern to expect.
In a result, jaw width is the low measurement. Leading the forehead supports triangle.
Matching it, with corners, supports square. In a result, length says whether the face is slightly long, clearly long, or close to its width.
That is how oval, oblong, round, and square separate. The report comes down to four numbers: forehead, cheeks, jaw, and length.
The shape name is the sentence those numbers make. After the shape name, look at the four lines and at any near miss.
They tell you why this name won. Walk through a result in three beats: the name, the four lines, then the near miss if there is one.
Stop there. When the result says oval, expect a little extra length and a forehead just wider than a curved jaw.
If the length looks extreme, compare oblong.
If the photo is tilted, take another one before you trust this check. Decide which area is widest before you say a shape name. The widest point is what starts the name.
Take the photo straight
Use one photo, taken straight on, with the camera at eye level. Hair only needs to be clear of the hairline and the jaw. A tilt, a shadow on one cheek, or a chin that is lifted will change the outline before you have even started.
Look at the forehead, the cheeks, and the jaw as three widths. Then compare the length of the face with the width. That is the whole reading.
Common questions
How do I use “Check the Result Against Your Outline”?
Check the result by seeing whether its outline follows your forehead, cheeks, jaw, and chin. Decide which area is widest before you say a shape name. The widest point is what starts the name.
How do I use “How to Read Jaw Width in a Result”?
In a result, jaw width is the low measurement. Use one still photo. A chin that drops or lifts between shots will not agree with itself about the jaw.
How do I use “When the Result Says Oval”?
When the result says oval, expect a little extra length and a forehead just wider than a curved jaw. Hold the phone at eye level. A camera above your eyes makes the forehead look wider than it is.
