Nose Measurement Calculator
Our Is my nose big calculator uses facial proportion metrics to measure if your nose dimensions harmonize with your facial features,”big or small“.
The digital measurement tool considers factors like nasal length, nasal width, and nasal projection in relation to facial width, facial height, and other anatomical proportions. For example, in classical aesthetics, your nose width should ideally be approximately equal to the interpupillary distance.
Nose Shape Measurement Formula
The formula used in nasal measurements follows the Goode’s Method:
Nasal Length (L) ÷ Nasal Projection (P) = 2.55 to 2.75If your nasal length is 50 millimeters, your ideal nasal projection should be between 18.2 millimeters and 19.6 millimeters (50 ÷ 2.55 and 50 ÷ 2.75).
- Classical Proportion Example:
- Total facial height: 180mm
- Ideal nasal length: 180mm ÷ 3 = 60 millimeters
- Ideal nasal width: 60mm ÷ 1.618 = 37 millimeters
- Nasal Base Proportion:
- Nostril width: 32mm
- Columella width: 8mm
- Base ratio = 32:8 = 4:1 (within ideal range)
- Nasofrontal Angle:
- Measured angle: 128°
- Ideal female range: 125-135°
- Assessment: Within aesthetic norms

How do I check if your nose is big?
To evaluate your nose size, use the Rule of Thirds method.
- Measure total facial height from hairline to chin
- Divide by three for sectional measurement
- Compare your nasal length to this reference measurement
If your facial height is 180 millimeters, each third should be 60 millimeters. Your nose length should approximately match this baseline measurement.
What is the average size of a woman’s nose?
Female nasal dimensions typically fall within these ranges:
- Nasal length: 50-60mm
- Nasal width: 31-36mm
- Nasal projection: 16-20mm
These anatomical measurements vary significantly across different ethnic groups and genetic backgrounds. Mediterranean and Middle Eastern women often have longer, more projected noses compared to East Asian women, who typically have wider, less projected nasal features.
What is Nose Shape?
Nasal morphology is categorized into several distinct types based on characteristics like bridge height, tip definition, and overall nasal profile. The major classifications include:
- Straight nose: Linear bridge with balanced proportions
- Roman nose: High bridge with a slight convex curve
- Greek nose: Straight bridge continuing directly from the forehead
- Button nose: Small with a slightly upturned tip
- Nubian nose: Longer with a wider base
- Hawk nose: Pronounced bridge with a downward-pointing tip
