01COMPOSITE // 01Outside band
Far below reference
Most structural and proportional signals sit outside the house reference at once.
- Multiple weak links
- Low proportional consistency
- Structure leads presentation
OFFICIAL INTERNAL RUBRIC
REFERENCE FILE // LMVC—PSL—01
The official PSL scale.
LooksMaxx VC's internal 1–10 visual rubric. Ratings combine facial harmony, lower-third structure, eye area, midface projection, and symmetry into one holistic house score.
Illustrative fictional composites—no real person is depicted or scored.

Visual anchors
One face. Five signals. Ten bands.
Read each portrait as a full-face reference, not a checklist. Grooming and image quality can modify presentation; they do not replace structure.
01COMPOSITE // 01
02COMPOSITE // 02Outside band
Very low harmony
Several major proportions compete, with limited eye, midface, and lower-third harmony.
- Several limiting ratios
- Weak profile support
- Low feature coherence
03COMPOSITE // 03Development band
Low harmony
Some balanced features are present, but multiple structural signals remain weak.
- Mixed facial thirds
- Limited projection
- Inconsistent eye-area balance
04COMPOSITE // 04Development band
Below baseline
Near baseline, though the eye area, projection, or lower third lacks consistency.
- One stronger feature
- Near-baseline harmony
- Two or more limiting areas
05COMPOSITE // 05Normie reference
Baseline
Average overall harmony with a roughly even mix of balanced and unbalanced signals.
- Balanced at first glance
- No dominant weak link
- No elite structural signal
06COMPOSITE // 06Strong band
Above baseline
Clean proportions and one or two stronger traits lift the face above the reference mean.
- Good proportional balance
- One standout region
- Presentation adds polish
07COMPOSITE // 07Strong band
Strong
Consistent full-face harmony, clear structure, and only minor limiting features.
- Strong facial harmony
- Defined eye or lower third
- Minor limits only
08COMPOSITE // 08QUALIFIESChad Lite / Stacy Lite
Lite tier
Near-ideal harmony and the minimum score that clears the LooksMaxx VC house bar.
- Near-ideal balance
- Neutral-to-positive tilt
- Defined cheekbones or jaw
09COMPOSITE // 09QUALIFIESChad / Stacy
Elite tier
Elite structure, eye area, projection, and proportional balance with no material weak link.
- Elite thirds and projection
- Strong eye-area geometry
- No material weak link
10COMPOSITE // 10QUALIFIESApex Chad / Stacy
Apex tier
Exceptional harmony across every house criterion—the rare full-face reference standard.
- Exceptional symmetry
- Apex structure and soft tissue
- Rare full-face coherence

House criteria
What the score reads.
The percentages organize the review; the final score remains holistic. The weakest structural signal can cap a face even when another signal is exceptional.
| Signal / share | What we read | 8.0–8.9 // Lite | 9.0–10 // Elite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harmony & thirds30% | Upper, middle, and lower thirds; how well every feature supports the whole. | Near-ideal facial harmony | Perfect thirds and full-face cohesion |
| Lower third25% | Chin projection, jaw definition, ramus, gonial angle, and philtrum-to-chin balance. | Proportional lower third; masculine gonial angle below 130° | Ideal philtrum/chin; masculine gonial angle below 120° and ramus above 14mm |
| Eye area20% | Canthal tilt, orbital support, eye shape, spacing, and upper-eyelid exposure. | Neutral-to-positive tilt; almond or compact eye area | Positive tilt; strongly supported hunter or almond eye area |
| Midface & projection15% | Forward maxillary growth, under-eye support, zygomatic prominence, and midface length. | Decent forward growth and defined cheekbones | Strong forward growth and prominent zygomatics |
| Symmetry & soft tissue10% | Left/right balance, skin clarity, balanced soft tissue, and visible structural definition. | Strong symmetry and balanced soft tissue | Near-perfect symmetry; structure remains clear without styling |

Assessment protocol
Control the capture.
A rating is only as stable as its source photos. Use the same conditions whenever comparing examples or submitting a face.
Front + profile
Use one straight-on photo and one true side profile from the same session.
Neutral capture
Camera at eye level, neutral expression, relaxed jaw, and hair clear of the face.
Even light
Soft natural light with no hard shadow, backlight, flash distortion, or beauty mode.
Holistic read
Score the full face across all five criteria; no single measurement decides the rating.
