Editorial Policy

Sourcing Standards

Styling guidance is grounded in the mechanical relationship between facial geometry and specific cut, frame, or grooming techniques. Science and research articles cite the general body of peer-reviewed literature on facial attractiveness and are written to distinguish well-replicated findings from contested or preliminary ones.

What We Explicitly Avoid

We do not present the golden ratio, symmetry, or any single proportion system as a definitive, universally agreed measure of beauty — see our golden ratio article for why. We do not make character, intelligence, or personality claims based on facial features.

Updates

Articles are reviewed periodically and updated when styling conventions or cited research materially change. Each article displays its most recent update date.
