Beyond the
Surface.
A free face analysis tool that measures real geometry from your photo and tells you plainly what a photo can and cannot show.
The Genesis of Attractiveness Test
Beauty is partly subjective, but parts of a face can be measured: symmetry, proportions, spacing. Attractiveness Test was built to measure those parts honestly and show the working.
Most face rating apps hand out flattering scores with no explanation. We took the opposite approach: real landmark geometry, a breakdown of every score, and a clear note whenever a measurement cannot be trusted. VisionScale is the name we give to that measurement system.
Three things we measure
Face shape
Face shape is classified from the width of the forehead, cheekbones and jaw against the length of the face, with a confidence figure because many faces sit between two shapes.
Geometric Symmetry
We compare matching points on each side of your face against the midline and report the deviation as a percentage. Symmetry and the golden ratio are separate measurements, and we score them separately.
Proportions
We measure your facial thirds, eye spacing and seven golden ratio proportions, and show each one so you can see what raised or lowered your result.
Geometry, not opinion
Our measurements come from geometry, not opinion. We detect 478 landmarks on your face and calculate the distances and ratios between them, then place each result against reference proportions drawn from published facial research. Nothing is guessed, and every number can be reproduced from the same photo.
Each scan runs in stages. First the 478 landmarks are detected. Then head tilt is corrected so a tilted photo does not score badly. Then the ratios are calculated and placed against their reference bands. Where a front photo cannot support a measurement, we mark it as not scored rather than guessing.
The Ethics of AI Aesthetics
We recognize the weight of providing a numerical value to human aesthetics. At Attractiveness Test, we view this tool as an instrument for objective self-knowledge. In a world where beauty is often used as a weapon, we believe that making these metrics transparent and accessible empowers the individual.
Neutral Evaluation
Our geometry tools measure distances and ratios only. They do not detect or take into account race, ethnicity or gender.
Technological Transparency
We do not believe in "Black Box" algorithms. We are committed to documenting the specific landmarks and ratios used so users can understand the logic behind their scores.
