What canthal tilt is
Canthal tilt is the angle of the line from the inner corner of your eye (medial canthus) to the outer corner (lateral canthus), compared with a horizontal line.
- Positive tilt: the outer corner sits higher than the inner corner (above about +2°).
- Neutral tilt: the corners are roughly level (−2° to +2°).
- Negative tilt: the outer corner sits lower than the inner corner (below about −2°).
How this test measures it
- The face mesh places points on both eye corners of each eye.
- We rotate the whole face so the two inner corners are level. This removes head roll, the most common reason online canthal tilt calculators disagree.
- We measure the angle from each inner corner to its outer corner and show both eyes and their average.
In the attractiveness score, canthal tilt is worth 10%, with full marks from 0° to +7°.
Why your tilt looks different in different photos
Looking down makes the outer corners appear higher; looking up does the opposite. A big smile lifts the lower lid. For the most honest number, look straight at a camera held at eye level with a relaxed face.
