Midface Structure: Understanding Cheekbone Proportions

The midface area—from under the eyes to just above the lips—shows the shape and height of your cheekbones. Why does this matter? Because midface proportions influence the perception of symmetry and balance in photos and AI analyses, including MirrorIQ. Want a private cheekbone overview?

What Are Midface Proportions?

This region includes the spacing of your eyes, the flatness or prominence of cheeks, and even how smile lines fall. Faces with high cheekbones may appear sharper, while fuller midfaces can soften the overall look. MirrorIQ uses digital landmarks to analyze cheekbone angles—all for informational purposes only. Find a plan that fits you.

Taking Photos to Highlight Your Cheekbones

• Front-facing images capture proportions best.

• Soft lighting brings out natural cheekbone shadow without harsh lines.

• Avoid overly contoured makeup, as it can mask underlying structure.

• Relax your face for a neutral, analytic pose.
