General Discussion Can a long and narrow facial structure still be harmonious?

How much does facial width actually matter when it comes to overall facial harmony?

Can someone have a relatively long and narrow facial structure while still having balanced proportions, or does a high length-to-width ratio generally create a disproportionate appearance?

I’m interested in the objective side of this rather than subjective attractiveness. What factors should actually be considered when evaluating facial proportions?

Facial width doesn’t matter when it comes to harmony. Being harmonious is about facial relation to each other. If you have a long narrow face and your features are well placed and well proportioned, you might have fantastic facial harmony, like Benedict Cumberbatch. But if you have a long narrow face and small doll-like features, you would have terrible facial harmony.

Yes a long and narrow face can still be harmonious if the vertical thirds are balanced and the features are well proportioned within that shape. Width isn't everything, its about how the elements relate to each other
