 Charcoal study: vertical thirds on skin landmarks (Astra, 2026)
| |
| Field | Face |
|---|---|
| Also known as | vertical thirds, trichion-glabella-subnasale-menton
|
Facial thirds divide the front of the face into three vertical zones that classical analysis wants roughly equal:[1]
- Hairline (trichion) → brow / glabella — forehead
- Brow → base of nose (subnasale) — middle third / midface
- Subnasale → chin (menton) — lower third (mandible, lips, chin)
Looksmaxxing uses this as a first pass: a huge forehead or a long midface “breaks thirds.” Hairline position and bangs cheat the upper third without surgery. The rule is a baseline, not a law — many rated faces are not 33/33/33.
