What an AI face report actually tells you
A face report is the opposite of a face-rating app. A rating hands you one number and leaves. A report reads the whole face from one photo, explains what it sees in plain language and ends with a plan you can act on this week. This guide walks through what a good one contains, what should be free before you pay and how to read yours.
The eight things a complete face report covers
If a report skips any of these, you are paying for a rating with extra adjectives. The Face Report covers all eight from a single photo:
A calibrated score with context
A strict PSL Score on the 0.25-8.0 scale and a 1-10 Face Score, each with a tier and a percentile, so the number means something against real faces rather than a flattering curve.
Six harmony dimensions
Symmetry, proportions, eyes and brows, jaw and lower third, nose and midface, skin, lips and grooming. The spread across these matters more than the headline number: it shows where effort pays.
Measured geometry, not guessed
Canthal tilt, facial thirds, fWHR, midface ratio and more, measured from facial landmarks in your browser and interpreted line by line.
Face shape with a match percentage
Primary and runner-up shape, which drives every haircut and frame recommendation that follows.
Colour season
Your 12-season result with wearable and avoid swatches, so the clothes and hair colour advice is grounded in your actual colouring.
Perceived age
How old the photo reads and which signals are moving it, with the levers that are presentation rather than age.

Haircut and frame guide
Three cuts and three eyewear shapes matched to your shape and texture, with the brief to hand your barber or stylist, plus try-ons rendered on your own photo.
A ranked plan and a Best Look
Moves ordered by visible impact with effort and timeframe, plus your own photo rendered with the plan applied, bone structure untouched.
What should be free before you pay
You should never have to pay to find out your score. On LooksMeter the free scan returns the PSL Score, the Face Score with tier and percentile, all six dimension scores and your face shape. The paid report earns its price through what it says about those numbers.
The other thing that should be free is a complete sample. Every chapter of a real Face Report is published at the sample link below, so the format is never a surprise.
How to read your report in five minutes
Start with the verdict, then the six dimensions: find the one sitting lowest, that is your leverage point. Read the measured geometry notes for that dimension to learn whether it is bone, soft tissue or presentation. Then skip to the plan and do item one, which is chosen for impact per unit of effort. Everything else in the report is reference material for later: the colour palette when you shop, the haircut brief when you book, the photo tips when you re-scan.
Face report vs face rating apps
A rating gives you a number. A report adds a next step. The Face Report uses a fixed calibrated scale and measured geometry, with honest sections about what will not change and a written plan. LooksMeter offers both philosophies, the strict standalone PSL Score for people who want the benchmark and The Face Report for people who want the plan.
Frequently asked
What is an AI face report?
A single written report on your whole face, produced from one photo. Instead of one cryptic number, it reads harmony, proportions, face shape, colouring and presentation together and turns them into a plan: what already works, the one area with the most leverage and the haircut, frames, grooming and skincare that suit your actual geometry. LooksMeter's version is The Face Report.
Is the face report free?
The score is. Every scan returns your strict PSL Score, your 1-10 Face Score with tier and percentile, all six harmony dimension scores and your face shape with match percentage, free and without an account. The full written report with the colour season, haircut and frame guide, ranked plan and Best Look is a one-time unlock, no subscription.
Can I see a face report before I pay?
Yes. The complete sample Face Report at /tools/face-report/sample shows every chapter of a real report end to end, so you know the exact format and depth before deciding.
Can I download my face report as a PDF?
Yes. Every paid report has a print view that saves cleanly as a PDF, with your photo, measured geometry, swatches and plan. The report also stays in your account.
What photo should I upload?
One front-on photo in even daylight, hair off the face, no filters, phone at eye level about an arm's length away. Landmark geometry is measured in your browser and the photo is never sold.
Is an AI face report accurate?
It is calibrated, which matters more than flattering. Scores sit on a fixed scale that does not drift between prompt versions, geometry is measured from on-device facial landmarks and the written sections say what is bone, what is soft tissue and what is presentation, so you know what can change and what cannot.
