facial proportions
Face's spatial relationships
Facial proportions are the relative sizes and spatial relationships between features of the face—the distance between the eyes, the ratio of forehead to chin, how wide the nose is compared to the mouth.
Artists and surgeons study facial proportions to achieve balance and symmetry: Classical paintings often follow idealized facial proportions.
In forensics and identification, facial proportions help distinguish individuals.
