Doesn't the nose sticking out mess up the measurements of the cheekbones and length?

Repeat that same thing for the forehead, jaw, and length.

When measured like this, her face shape explanation makes much more sense.

[evelynvincible]

There is a flaw in this measuring system: Faces have depth.

If you try to measure your cheeks or jawbone in this way, the measurement is going to be way to big.

What you want to do is go stand in front of a mirror and hold the measuring tape straight across the front of your face. Do NOT pull it taught from temple to temple or across your chin. Visually line up one end of the tape with the edge of your cheekbone. The number that lines up with the other cheekbone is the measurement.
