Canthal Tilt Test
Canthal tilt is the #2 most important metric in facial attractiveness scoring, carrying 12% weight. The difference between “hunter eyes” and “prey eyes” is literally 5-8 degrees.
AI measures your exact canthal tilt angle in degrees. Free. Instant. Private.
What Is Canthal Tilt?
Canthal tilt is the angle formed between the medial canthus (inner eye corner) and lateral canthus (outer eye corner). MogScore measures this for both eyes and averages the result.
Positive Tilt
+5° to +8°
Outer corner higher than inner. Creates 'hunter eyes' — alert, intense, dominant. This is the ideal.
Neutral Tilt
0° to +4°
Roughly level. Common and not a major detractor. Most people fall here.
Negative Tilt
Below 0°
Outer corner lower than inner. Creates 'prey eyes' — droopy, tired appearance. The most common failo.
The Complete Eye Area
MogScore doesn't just measure canthal tilt. It analyzes your entire eye area with 5 metrics:
Canthal Tilt
Angle of the eye from inner to outer corner
Upper Eyelid Exposure
How much upper lid is visible. Less exposure = more hooded = more attractive for men
Eye Aspect Ratio
Vertical-to-horizontal eye proportion. Affects how open/alert eyes appear
Eye Width
Palpebral fissure width relative to face width
Brow Ridge
Brow position relative to eye. Lower brow = more hunter-like
Hunter Eyes Archetype
In MogScore's archetype system, the Hunter archetype is defined by an elite eye area: deep-set eyes, positive canthal tilt, low brow ridge, and minimal eyelid exposure.
Hunter Archetype
“Deep-set eyes, low brow ridge, intense predatory gaze. The eye area creates an aura of quiet dominance that people find magnetically intimidating.”
Think: Sean O'Pry, Francisco Lachowski, young Alain Delon
