1. What is the Golden Ratio Face Calculator?

Definition: This calculator compares your facial proportions to the golden ratio (φ = 1.618), considered aesthetically pleasing in art and nature.

Purpose: It helps assess how closely facial dimensions align with this classical ideal of beauty.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( φ \) — Golden ratio (dimensionless)
• Face Ratio — Length divided by width (dimensionless)

Explanation: Your face ratio is compared to φ to determine how closely your proportions match this ideal.

3. Importance of Golden Ratio in Facial Aesthetics

Details: Faces closer to the golden ratio are often perceived as more symmetrical and attractive across cultures.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure face width at the widest point (typically cheekbones) and length (hairline to chin). Enter values in inches.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What does the percentage match mean?
A: It shows how close your face ratio is to the golden ratio (100% = perfect match).

Q2: Is the golden ratio the only standard of beauty?
A: No, beauty is subjective and cultural, though φ is a common mathematical reference.

Q3: What's considered a good match percentage?
A: Generally, >85% is very close, 70-85% is good, and <70% shows significant deviation.

Q4: Should I measure with or without hair?
A: Measure just the face - hairline (not hair) to chin, and don't include ears in width.

Q5: Does this account for all facial features?
A: No, this is just one aspect. Other ratios (eye spacing, nose length, etc.) also matter.
