Looksmaxxing means improving your appearance as much as you realistically can. The term comes from online looksmaxxing communities, and it's usually split into two approaches:
Most of what makes a visible difference for most people is softmaxxing. But to know where to focus, it helps to know where you're starting from — and that's what a looksmax score is for.
This free looksmax score calculator rates your face from 0 to 100 using five features that looksmaxxing communities consider most important, and shows each one separately so you can see your strengths and your weakest link.
The tool runs Google's MediaPipe Face Mesh in your browser (your photo isn't uploaded) and places 478 landmarks on your face. It scores five features out of 100:
| Feature | Weight | What's measured |
|---|---|---|
| Facial symmetry | 25% | How evenly six left–right feature pairs sit around your facial midline |
| Jawline definition | 25% | Jaw width relative to cheekbone width, targeting about 0.78 |
| Canthal tilt | 20% | Whether the outer corners of your eyes sit higher than the inner corners |
| Facial thirds | 15% | How evenly your face divides into upper, middle and lower thirds |
| Eye compactness | 15% | How narrow and horizontal your eyes are — the "hunter eyes" shape |
The weighted total is your looksmax score:
| Score | Tier |
|---|---|
| 90–100 | Top tier (looksmaxxed) |
| 78–89 | High tier |
| 65–77 | Mid tier |
| 50–64 | Average |
| Below 50 | Below average |
The breakdown matters more than the total. A mid-tier score with a strong jawline and weak eye area calls for a very different plan than the same score with the opposite pattern.
Symmetry is mostly structural, but it's also the component most affected by photo technique. If yours is low, retake the photo straight on with your head level before drawing conclusions. The face symmetry test shows which zones are most uneven.
The jawline is the most changeable component through softmaxxing. A defined jaw that's a little narrower than the cheekbones gives the face a clean V-taper. Getting leaner is the single most effective change for jaw definition, and facial hair can change the visible jaw shape. More detail: jawline score.
Together these describe hunter eyes: a slight upward tilt at the outer corners and a narrow, horizontal eye with little visible upper eyelid. The bone structure behind them doesn't change with exercises, but brows, puffiness and body fat affect how the eye area looks. See the canthal tilt calculator and hunter eyes test.
Balanced thirds — forehead, midface and lower face of roughly equal height — make a face look harmonious. Hairstyle and facial hair can visually rebalance them. See the facial thirds calculator.
These changes have real evidence or obvious mechanisms behind them, and they're safe:
And a word on mindset: looksmaxxing spaces can be harsh. If you find yourself constantly checking your rating, avoiding people or feeling distressed about features most people wouldn't notice, talk to someone you trust or a professional — body dysmorphia is common and treatable.
A looksmax score rates your face from 0 to 100 on the features looksmaxxing communities consider most important. This tool combines facial symmetry, jawline definition, canthal tilt, facial thirds and eye compactness.
On this tool, 65–77 is mid tier, 78–89 is high tier and 90 or above is top tier. The individual feature scores are more useful than the total for deciding what to work on.
Softmaxxing means non-surgical improvements such as skincare, grooming, getting leaner and better style. Hardmaxxing means surgical or permanent changes. Softmaxxing is safer and makes the biggest difference for most people.
There's no good scientific evidence that mewing changes the shape of an adult's jaw or face. Good tongue posture is harmless, but it isn't a substitute for the changes that do work, like getting leaner.
No. Bone smashing — hitting your face to try to stimulate bone growth — can cause fractures, nerve damage and permanent asymmetry. There's no evidence it works.
The jawline component responds best to getting leaner, and better photo technique improves symmetry and thirds. Canthal tilt and eye shape are mostly structural, but brow grooming and reducing puffiness change how your eye area looks.
The looksmax score uses a 0–100 scale and gives more weight to canthal tilt and eye shape as separate features. The PSL rating uses the looksmaxxing community's harsh 1–10 scale, where 5 is the average face.
