The Golden Ratio is the length and width of your facial features in ratio to the rest of the features on your face, including the placement of your ears.
=============================
Here are the requirements that must be met before a face can be considered 'perfectly' beautiful.
- The eye line must be halfway down your face.
- The length in between your eyes must be the same as the width of your nose
- When you smile, the corners of your mouth should be evenly in line with the center of each pupil.
- There must be a straight line from the bottom of your ear lobes, across to the bottom of your nose.

Golden Number
The Fibonacci Sequence. This is when you add one number to the next number. Add 0+1, 1+1,1+2,2+3...
{0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,610,987,1597,2484,4181,6765,10946...}
After you add the numbers together, they eventually come to stabilize and cannot go any further than a 1 to 1;6180399 ratio. This number is the perfect ratio. The mathematical equation for the perfect face.
-- Da Vinci painted this painting using the golden ratio. The head to the navel. The navel to the feet. This made the body perfectly proportioned.
This was not something that was invented so that the perfect beauty could be found. This formula has been used in nature since the beginning of time. The things in nature that we consider the most beautiful are perfectly proportioned in every way and their beauty never escapes us.
Some of the experts say that the Parthenon was constructed using the Golden Ratio.

Discover Magazine article
One of the pioneers/experts in this field is Dr Stephen Marquardt.
His website:

The ratio is basically phi but the insightful part is how Dr Stephen Marquardt utilizes the phi ratio on different parts of face features to generate the perfect face and compare it with evidence.
The website is informative. Explore its “Our Research”, “The Perfect Face”, “The Evidence”, “Mask Application”.
The “Mask Application” – “You and the mask” actually teaches you how to compare face against a perfect face. Its “links/resources” has a lot more info. Check out its “mathematics & geometry” section.
There are 2 patents to analyze facial configurations and components.
You can get details of the method and how to analyze. The perfect face drawings are very detailed.
patent 5659625
patent 5867588
Download the PDFs files to see the details. There are less details on the webpages.
This website below is another insightful one but restricted to female face only.

This website advocates on averageness, feminity, youthfulness, symmetry, standout from the crowd etc. Browse through the slideshow. There are few interesting applications where you can scroll it to become uglier or prettier.

Scientists have narrowed down to a simple mathematical ratio of 1:1.618, otherwise known as phi, or divine proportion, to set standards of beauty.
Yosh Jefferson defines the formula and says, if the width of the face from cheek to cheek is 10 inches (25 centimetres), then the length of the face from the top of the head to the bottom of the chin should be 16.18 inches to be in ideal proportion. If you're keen to see how you measure up, keep in mind that the ratio of phi also applies to:
+ The width of the mouth to the width of the cheek.
+ The width of the nose to the width of the cheek.
+ The width of the nose to the width of the mouth.

This is the sort of information I am looking for, but need several other ratios.
Please refrain from simply copy and pasting your answers - for $3, you haven't even introduced this one in your own words! The whole thing could have easily been rewritten very quickly, to make it much more effective.
Also, the asker was looking for several different ratios, not just one. Keep this in mind for later answers and read How to get a best answer on Mahalo and Copy and Pasting on Mahalo.
Thanks!
Thanks, that was very informative. But, I am looking for more face ratios for a project. The ones you gave were good, but I need a more. ex: the ratio of the head's width to height is xxxxx, the ratio of the nose to mouth is xxxx. Thanks.
