AI face analysis from six photos
MaxxLook is an iPhone app that analyzes your face from six photos: front, both profiles, both quarter views and a smile. It runs 170+ measurements, turns them into an overall score and area scores from 0 to 100, and ranks the changes most worth testing. Areas it can’t measure from a photo, like hair and makeup style, are marked unscored instead of guessed.
What the six photos capture
You take six guided photos: a front view, left and right profiles, left and right quarter views, and a smile. An on-screen face outline helps you frame every photo the same way.
The photos do different jobs. The front photo provides the landmark measurements: widths, spacing, proportions and symmetry. The smile photo provides the smile measurements. The profile and quarter views add skin readings and let MaxxLook check that a reading repeats across photos. See how to take face scan photos for pose and lighting tips.
What gets measured
A face-detection model maps up to 478 landmark points on your face. From those points, MaxxLook computes 170+ measurements across 12 sections: width and height ratios, left-right symmetry, tilt, spread, facial-thirds balance and more.
Skin measurements come from pixels: texture, pore visibility, redness variation and under-eye shadowing. They measure variation within your own face. MaxxLook never rates skin tone or how light or dark your skin is.
Nine areas, each with its own reading
| Area | What it looks at |
|---|---|
| Face shape | Facial thirds and overall proportions |
| Eyes | Spacing and proportion |
| Brows | Brow position, shape and evenness |
| Jaw and structure | Jaw and lower-face proportions, and how even the two sides are |
| Smile | Lip measurements from the front photo. Readings from the smile photo are measured but not scored yet |
| Skin | Texture, redness variation and under-eye shadowing. Measured, but not scored yet: skin needs reference ranges from controlled-lighting photos |
| Overall harmony | Symmetry, proportion and balance across the whole face, averaged |
| Hair | Not measured from photos; compare styles in Try On |
| Makeup style | Not assessed from photos; ask Maxx for looks |
Every scored area comes with a one-line summary, and the full analysis explains what drives it and what to try first.
How a score is built
Each measurement is compared with a reference range built for people of your age range, sex and population group, and turned into a 0 to 100 reading. An area score pools the readings in that area, and an area with nothing measured is left out, never padded with a made-up middle value.
Your overall score is a weighted blend of the measurement groups that scored, with symmetry and proportion counting most. Overall harmony combines symmetry, proportion and balance readings, so no single one decides it.
Your percentile is the only comparison with real people. It appears only when at least 30 other completed analyses in your age range, gender and ethnicity existed when you scanned. Below that it is withheld, never estimated. The transparency page has the full method.
From scores to a plan
MaxxLook ranks your top opportunities by what could move most: the smallest realistic changes with the largest likely effect. Each one says what was noticed, what to try, what to avoid where it matters, and how the result will be checked. Some effects the app can measure, like brow height, symmetry or skin redness. Others, like a haircut, it can only help you compare side by side, and each opportunity says which it is before you start.
You then follow a daily plan and re-scan. A change is reported as moved only when it clears the test’s noise floor. Anything smaller is reported as within noise.
What face analysis can’t tell you
- It is not a medical or dermatological assessment and does not diagnose conditions.
- It is not a verdict on attractiveness or on your worth. Scores describe measurements of photos.
- Hydration, fine lines, elasticity and rosacea are not measured and never appear as readings.
- Hair and makeup style can’t be measured from photos.
- Results depend on photo conditions, and the noise floors are provisional rather than from a clinical test–retest study.
- It is for adults 18 and older.
Common questions
What does MaxxLook’s face analysis measure?
It computes 170+ measurements: proportions, symmetry, tilt, spacing and facial-thirds balance from up to 478 landmark points on your front photo, smile measurements from your smile photo, and skin texture, redness variation and under-eye shadowing from pixels.
Is the face analysis free?
Your first six-angle scan and the overview are free: your overall score, your percentile when enough comparable analyses exist, and area scores with a one-line summary each. The full analysis and ongoing plan are part of membership.
Does the analysis tell me how attractive I am?
No. MaxxLook reports scores for measurements of your photos, never a hot-or-not verdict, and never compares you with a celebrity or any named person.
