Your analysis
478 landmarks, up to 31 measurements and 13 AI assessments, turned into a personal Plan.
Example analysis: front photo only. Full scans also include a side profile.
Approximate: placed on how interviewers rated North American men (Hamermesh & Biddle 1994).
The analysis starts with a front photo and a side profile. It measures your facial proportions, adds an AI read of how your features come together, and turns both into a personal Plan with practical recommendations.
A front photo and a side profile, in even light.
The front points are placed for you to check. You mark 11 points on your profile, with a guide for each one.
Explore your score and feature assessments, with available measurements drawn on your photos.

The score is an AI estimate. Scores can vary between scans, and the scoring system hasn’t been validated in a study.

Skin read
A cosmetic read of your skin: concerns by area, each mild, moderate or notable, with what to do about it.
Start with the changes your Plan expects to make the most difference, and see the effort each one takes.
Hair, beard and brow choices that work with your face, from recommendations based on your own analysis rather than a generic routine.
The Plan is written from what your scan found, from your skin read to how your features come together. It leaves out surgery, fillers and injectables.
Work through your Plan’s checklist and tick off what you’ve done. Your progress stays saved to your account.
Every step is something you can do: skin care, grooming such as hair, beard and brows, styling, how you take photos, and daily habits.
These are the analysis’s suggestions, not a validated ranking.
What a full scan gives you, part by part.
Caring how you look is self-respect, not vanity.
First impressions form from faces: in a classic study, better-looking strangers were judged to have more desirable personalities.
Dion, Berscheid & Walster · 1972
Across 31 studies, better-looking adults were treated somewhat more favorably on average.

Give your effort a direction. Use the recommendations from your analysis to build a practical approach to skin care, grooming and everyday habits.
Not every feature needs work, and no plan can promise a particular result.
LooksLab finds soft-tissue landmarks on your photos and measures the ratios and angles between them. Nothing is measured in millimetres, and nothing measures bone.
No. The overall score is an AI aesthetic estimate. The AI sees your photos and your front measurements, but the score isn’t added up from them.
Measurements are geometry taken from points on your photos. Where we’ve tested how much a measurement shifts when the same photo is slightly altered, that margin is shown beside it. The overall score is an AI estimate. In our current testing, repeated analyses of the same photo have differed by as much as about 0.5 points. Small changes in the overall score should not be treated as progress on their own. For progress, rely more on stable measurements and repeated scans taken under similar conditions. A new photo adds variation from light, angle and distance, which we haven’t measured yet.
They’re saved privately to your account so you can see them with your results, and they’re only shown to you. To run the analysis, they’re sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, which doesn’t use them to train its models, and neither do we. You can delete one scan’s photos, or all of them, any time. Your results and measurements stay.
One free scan per account, with the full results: your overall estimate, facial profile, feature reads, measurements and Plan, with its checklist and saved progress.
No. LooksLab is a cosmetic and entertainment tool, and skin notes are cosmetic guidance, not a diagnosis. Its plans are written to exclude surgery, fillers and injectables. If something on your skin or face worries you, see a doctor or dermatologist.
