Facial Thirds Test
A thoughtful look at the upper, middle, and lower thirds of your face—and how balanced they are together.
Mapping facial landmarks
Explore Facial Proportions
A facial thirds test divides the height of the face into three vertical regions so each part can be compared with the others. Artists and makeup professionals have long used this grid as a drawing and planning reference. It describes how a face is laid out. It does not rate it.
-
Upper Third
The area between the estimated hairline and the brow region.
-
Middle Third
The area between the brow region and the base of the nose.
-
Lower Third
The area between the base of the nose and the bottom of the chin.

Relative Proportion Overview
A stacked bar shows how the three regions compare in height, so you can see which one is longer or shorter at a glance.
Measurement Guide
Values are in image pixels, so they change with photo size. The percentage share is the figure to compare between photos.

Your Photo Deserves Care
This is how the tool on this page handles your image.
Photo Handling
Your selected photo is opened through a temporary link inside your browser and drawn on this page. The code on this page does not upload it or save it.
Browser-Based Processing
Landmark detection runs in your browser with the MediaPipe Face Landmarker. When you start an analysis, the model and its runtime files are downloaded from public servers. Your photo is not part of those requests.
User Control
Remove your image at any time and reset the analysis to clear the guides and measurements. Closing or refreshing the page also clears the preview.
Useful For Different Purposes
Beauty Enthusiasts
Review facial proportions as part of personal beauty and appearance research.
Makeup Artists
Use facial region references when studying makeup placement and visual balance.
Photography Enthusiasts
Review facial proportions when examining portrait composition and positioning.
Aesthetic Researchers
Use visual proportion guides for general facial aesthetics study and reference.
Prepare A Clear Facial Photo
Use A Front-Facing Photograph
Look straight into the camera so both sides of the face sit at the same distance.
Keep The Face Clearly Visible
Pull hair back from the forehead and keep the brows, nose, and chin in view.
Avoid Strong Shadows
Soft, even daylight works better than harsh overhead light or heavy contrast.
Keep Your Head Upright
Hold the head level and natural. Tilting up or down shifts every guide.
What People Say
The guide lines were easy to drag into place, and seeing all three regions side by side made my own review much more organized.
I checked the framing on a few headshots. Uploading a photo straight from my phone worked on the first try.
Having the brow and nose-base lines marked clearly helps when I plan where to place contour and highlight.
The layout is clean and the measurements are easy to read. I liked that the page says plainly these are references, not scores.
Manual adjustment is what won me over. My hairline guide was off at first, and fixing it took a few seconds.
The measurement panel is tidy. Showing both pixel values and percentages is handy when I compare two photos.
It works fine on my tablet. The overlay stays lined up with the photo when I rotate the screen.
A good reminder that proportions differ from person to person. The tool never pushes a verdict on you.
The photo tips before the upload helped. My first picture was tilted, and the second one gave much cleaner guides.
I use the three bands as a drawing reference. The labels are clear and the page is quick to read on my phone.
Insights On Facial Proportions
Questions About Facial Thirds
Facial thirds describe proportion. They say nothing about beauty, health, or attractiveness.
A facial thirds test is a visual method for examining facial height by dividing the face into upper, middle, and lower regions. It provides a structured way to review facial proportions.
The three regions are the upper third, middle third, and lower third. They are generally referenced using the estimated hairline, brow region, base of the nose, and bottom of the chin.
Upload a clear front-facing facial photograph, review the visual measurement guides, and examine the upper, middle, and lower facial regions in the analysis interface.
No. Facial thirds are proportion references and do not determine attractiveness or personal beauty. Facial appearance is diverse, and there is no single proportion that defines an ideal face.
Yes. Select a JPG, PNG, or WebP image from your device and preview it before starting an analysis. Other file types are rejected with an error message.
Results depend on image quality, facial positioning, visible landmarks, and measurement adjustments. The visual guides are intended for general reference rather than clinical measurement.
Yes. Drag any guide handle, or focus it and use the arrow keys, to refine its position. This is useful when automatic landmark detection is unavailable or needs correction, and the measurements update as you move each guide.
Yes. The homepage and the analysis interface are responsive, so the available features can be used on desktop, tablet, and mobile screens.
The tool processes your photo locally in your browser. The code on this page does not send the image to a server or save it, and removing the image or closing the page clears it. The face landmark model is downloaded from public servers when you start an analysis, but your photo is not part of that download. Check your site's privacy policy for anything outside this tool, such as analytics.
No. Facial structures and proportions vary naturally between individuals. Facial thirds should be treated as general visual references rather than fixed standards.
