Nose tip projection

Goode ratio

Larger values mean a nose tip that stands further out from the face.

How it's measured

How far the nose tip (pronasale) stands out from the line between nasion and the crease where the nostril wing meets the cheek (alar crease), divided by the length of the nose from nasion to the tip.

Reference range

Male reference

0.55–0.68

Female reference

0.55–0.60

Source: Community facial analysis formula (public spreadsheet), top range: men 0.55-0.68, women 0.55-0.60. Goode's method and its 0.55-0.60 norm as described in Powell & Humphreys (1984).

In the score

Counts toward the score with weight 5 (Community formula point table: nasal projection, 5 points).

What changes it

• 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.
