Face length to width

Describes how long or broad the whole face is. It depends on the hairline point, so it waits until you confirm it.

How it's measured

Height from the hairline (trichion) to the bottom of the chin (menton), measured straight down from the eye line, divided by the width across the cheekbones (zygion to zygion).

One number, one feature

One measurement describes one detail in one photo. Pose, lens and expression move it, and every reference range is an average from limited samples.
