Eyebrow Low-Setness is a front-view, eye-region Harmony measurement at FaceIQ Labs. It divides the absolute pupil-to-inner-brow height by the average eye-opening height. Despite the name, the value rises as the brow-to-pupil gap grows, and squinting raises it too because eye height shrinks. ## Key facts - Formula: absolute pupil-to-inner-brow height ÷ average eye-opening height - It is a front-view measurement in the eyes region of FaceIQ Labs' Harmony guides - Lower values mean brows sit closer to the pupils relative to eye height; higher values mean a larger relative brow-to-pupil gap - Worked example: a 12-unit gap over a 10-unit eye height gives 1.2; if the eye squints to 8 units, it becomes 1.5 without the brow moving - The name describes low-setness, but the number increases with separation - Relax the brows and avoid squinting when checking this result - It is a FaceIQ adaptation; the linked research has not directly validated this exact formula or its score - Harmony is one of four FaceIQ Labs pillars (Harmony, Angularity, Dimorphism, Features), each scored 0–10 ## What is Eyebrow Low-Setness? Eyebrow Low-Setness is a front-view Harmony measurement at FaceIQ Labs, in the eyes region. It divides the absolute pupil-to-inner-brow height by the average eye-opening height. The result is a ratio rather than a raw distance, so it reflects both where the brows sit and how open the eyes are. ## Why does Eyebrow Low-Setness matter in facial harmony analysis? At FaceIQ Labs, the brow-to-eye gap changes the amount of visible space above the eyes. Dividing it by eye height makes the Eyebrow Low-Setness result sensitive to both brow placement and eyelid opening. Lower values mean brows sit closer to the pupils relative to eye height; higher values mean a larger relative gap. ## Why is it called low-setness if the number rises with separation? FaceIQ Labs names the measurement Eyebrow Low-Setness, yet its number increases as the brow-to-pupil separation increases. A smaller value means brows closer to the pupils; a larger value means a bigger gap. Relaxing the brows and avoiding squinting matters because eye-opening height is part of the formula. ## What is a worked example of the Eyebrow Low-Setness calculation? FaceIQ Labs' worked example for Eyebrow Low-Setness: a 12-unit brow-to-pupil gap over a 10-unit eye height gives 1.2. If the eye squints to 8 units without the brow moving, the same gap gives 1.5. These example values only explain the calculation; they are not a target range and not measurements of the schematic. ## Where does the Eyebrow Low-Setness measurement come from? Eyebrow Low-Setness is a FaceIQ Labs adaptation: a landmark-based description of facial shape. The linked research gives background on facial measurement or perception, but it has not directly validated this exact formula or its score. FaceIQ Labs' score weights and reference ranges are model settings, and the papers do not collectively validate the scoring system. ## What research does FaceIQ Labs cite for Eyebrow Low-Setness? FaceIQ Labs cites one source on its Eyebrow Low-Setness page: Biller & Kim, 2009, 'A contemporary assessment of facial aesthetic preferences.' It compared ratings of edited brow and nose features on four female models. The authors emphasized individual facial harmony. It is context for feature relationships, not a test of every brow metric. ## How does Eyebrow Low-Setness fit into the FaceIQ Labs Harmony score? Eyebrow Low-Setness is one of the Harmony measurement guides at FaceIQ Labs, whose Harmony pillar measures 70+ facial ratios and angles against ideal ranges adjusted for gender and ethnicity. Harmony is one of four pillars scored 0–10 and is weighted roughly 60% from the front photo and 40% from the side photo. ## Which other eye and brow measurements sit alongside Eyebrow Low-Setness? - Eye Separation Ratio - Eye Aspect Ratio - One Eye Apart Test - Lateral Canthal Tilt - Eyebrow Tilt - Brow Thickness - Brow Length to Face Width Ratio - Upper Eyelid Exposure ## Frequently asked questions ### Can squinting change my Eyebrow Low-Setness result? Yes. The formula divides the brow-to-pupil gap by eye-opening height, so squinting reduces eye height and raises the value even if the brow does not move. FaceIQ Labs advises relaxing the brows and avoiding squinting. ### Is Eyebrow Low-Setness measured from the front or side photo? It is a front-view measurement in the eyes region of FaceIQ Labs' Harmony guides. ### Does a certain Eyebrow Low-Setness value mean my brows are attractive? FaceIQ Labs' page explains what is measured and how the value changes with brow position and eye opening. It does not state that any specific value is more or less attractive, and the example values are not a target range. ### Does a lower Eyebrow Low-Setness number mean lower-set brows? Yes. A lower value means the brows sit closer to the pupils relative to eye height, while a higher value means a larger relative gap. The name describes low-setness, but the number increases with separation. ## Pages on this host This is one page of several on this host.
