Mouth width to nose width
Compares the width of the mouth with the nose above it. A close camera makes the nose look wider and lowers this value.
How it's measured
Width between the mouth corners (cheilion to cheilion) divided by the width across the nostril wings (alare to alare).

Counts toward the score with weight 10 (Community formula point table: mouth to nose width, 10 points).
What changes it
- Camera distance changes it: close-up selfies enlarge the middle of the face. Shoot from about 1.5 m and zoom in.
- Typical values differ between populations, so the reference range fits some faces better than others.
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.
