Looksmaxxing is the practice of systematically improving your appearance through data-driven analysis and targeted changes. What started as niche internet culture has become a mainstream self-improvement movement, and for good reason: Royal Society research confirms that facial symmetry and proportions significantly influence how others perceive us, and understanding your features objectively helps you make better decisions about grooming, style, fitness, and presentation.
The problem with traditional looksmaxxing advice is that it is generic. "Get a better haircut" means nothing if you do not know your face shape. "Dress better" is useless without understanding your body proportions and color palette — APA research on clothing color and attraction shows that what you wear significantly impacts perceived attractiveness. AI tools solve this by analyzing your actual features and giving you personalized, specific recommendations.
This guide covers every AI tool on just build things that can help you with your glow up — from facial analysis and attractiveness scoring to style recommendations, body analysis, and even voice improvement. All tools are free to use.
The foundation of any looksmaxxing journey is understanding your facial structure. You cannot improve what you do not measure. These tools give you a detailed breakdown of your features so you know exactly what you are working with.
The Face Shape Analyzer identifies whether your face is oval, round, square, heart, diamond, or oblong. This single piece of information unlocks a cascade of practical decisions: which hairstyles flatter your face, which glasses frames balance your proportions, which necklines look best, and even which beard styles (if applicable) complement your structure. Start here — it is the most foundational analysis you can do.
The Facial Harmony Analyzer measures how your features relate to each other proportionally. It evaluates symmetry, the relationships between your eyes, nose, mouth, and overall facial structure. This is not about chasing some arbitrary standard — it is about understanding which features are your strongest and how to emphasize them. The tool provides specific makeup, grooming, and styling recommendations based on your individual proportions.
Your jawline is one of the most discussed features in looksmaxxing communities, and for good reason — it frames your entire face. The Jawline Analyzer evaluates your jaw shape (square, round, oval, angular), definition strength, and symmetry. It provides personalized recommendations for makeup contouring, hairstyles, and accessories that enhance your jawline. Whether you have a strong angular jaw or a softer rounded one, the key is learning how to work with what you have.
The Nose Shape Analyzer categorizes your nose type and analyzes bridge width, tip shape, nostril size, and proportions relative to other features. Beyond just identification, it provides contouring techniques and eyewear recommendations that complement your specific nose shape.
Eyes are often called the most expressive facial feature, and two tools help you understand yours:
Two often-overlooked features that significantly impact your appearance:
How you hold your face matters as much as the features themselves. The Facial Expression Analysis tool identifies micro-expressions, emotional indicators, and subtle facial cues. For looksmaxxing purposes, this helps you understand your resting face and practice expressions that project warmth and confidence — both of which significantly impact how attractive others perceive you to be.
These tools provide direct feedback on how your appearance is perceived. They are useful as baseline measurements and for tracking progress as you make changes.
The Attractiveness Test provides an AI-powered attractiveness score from 1 to 10 with detailed feature-by-feature feedback. It evaluates facial symmetry, clarity, and commonly perceived aesthetic qualities. The real value is not the number itself but the specific breakdown of what works and what could be improved. Use it as a diagnostic tool, not a judgment.
The Looksmax AI Analysis is specifically designed for the looksmaxxing community. It analyzes facial features often discussed in aesthetics — symmetry, jawline definition, profile balance, skin clarity, and eye area characteristics. Crucially, it provides specific, actionable advice for enhancing the features identified in your particular photo, not generic tips. This is the most targeted looksmaxxing tool in the collection.
Some people look better in photos than in person, and vice versa. The Photogenic Test evaluates how well you photograph by analyzing lighting quality, facial expression clarity, flattering angles, pose, and composition. It tells you what makes your photos work (or not) and provides specific tips for taking more flattering pictures. Being photogenic is a skill, not a fixed trait.
Attractiveness is not just about features — it is about the impression you create. The Approachability Test analyzes how friendly and approachable you appear based on smile presence, eye contact, posture, and perceived warmth. In dating and social contexts, approachability often matters more than conventional attractiveness.
Confidence is consistently rated as one of the most attractive qualities. The Confidence Test evaluates perceived confidence in your photos based on posture, gaze direction, facial tension, and expression. It identifies which photos project confidence and which might convey uncertainty — valuable feedback for choosing profile photos or preparing for important events.
Several additional tools round out the perception analysis:
Hair is one of the highest-impact changes you can make to your appearance. The right cut and color can completely transform how you look.
The Hair & Beauty Advisor analyzes your hair type, texture, health indicators, and current style. It provides specific care recommendations, styling suggestions, and product types suited to your hair. This is your starting point for hair improvement.
For a deeper dive into your hair characteristics, the Hair Type Analyzer classifies your texture, pattern, density, and porosity. Understanding your hair type is essential for choosing the right products and styling techniques — what works for fine straight hair will damage thick curly hair, and vice versa.
The Hair Color Consultant analyzes your current hair color, skin tone, and undertones to recommend complementary hair colors. This is particularly useful if you are considering a change — instead of guessing, you get recommendations based on your actual coloring.
The Hair Health Scanner evaluates shine level, texture, thickness, split ends, and overall condition with a 0-100 health score. It provides specific recovery recommendations if your hair needs attention. Healthy hair is the foundation — no cut or color looks good on damaged hair.
Clear, healthy skin is one of the most universally attractive traits. Three tools help you build a better skincare routine:
The Lip Shape Guide analyzes fullness, symmetry, cupid's bow, and line definition. It provides personalized lip makeup techniques and product recommendations. Even if you do not wear makeup, understanding your lip shape helps with grooming decisions.
Looksmaxxing extends beyond the face. Your body shape, posture, and physical presence all contribute to overall appearance.
The Body Shape Analyzer identifies your body type and proportions. The practical value is in the personalized fit recommendations — it suggests flattering silhouettes and proportion optimization tips specific to your body. Knowing your body type eliminates the guesswork from clothes shopping.
Posture has an outsized impact on how you look. The Posture Assessment analyzes spinal alignment, shoulder position, head carriage, and overall body mechanics. Poor posture can make even a fit person look slouchy and unconfident. The tool provides specific recommendations for improvement, which is one of the fastest ways to look better without changing anything about your actual appearance.
The Body Language Analysis tool analyzes your posture, gestures, and non-verbal communication. Open, relaxed body language signals confidence and approachability — two of the most attractive qualities. This tool helps you identify unconscious body language habits that might be undermining the impression you want to create.
Once you understand your features, body, and coloring, style becomes much simpler. These tools give you personalized fashion advice based on your actual attributes.
The Personal Style Consultant analyzes your current style including clothing choices, color combinations, pattern usage, and overall consistency. It provides personalized recommendations for improvement, giving you a concrete roadmap rather than vague fashion advice.
The Fashion Analysis tool evaluates specific outfits — clothing items, materials, patterns, and styling choices. Upload photos of outfits you are considering and get objective feedback on what works and what does not. This is useful for building a wardrobe that consistently looks good.
Two tools help you nail your color palette:
Several more tools help with specific style decisions:
Sometimes you want to see what a change would look like before committing. These AI image generation tools let you visualize modifications on your actual photos.
The AI Makeup & Beauty Enhancer adds natural-looking makeup and enhances facial features in your photos. It is useful for seeing how makeup changes would affect your appearance, or for creating polished versions of your photos for profiles.
The AI Hair Color Changer lets you try different hair colors on your actual photo — blonde, brunette, red, or fantasy colors. See what a color change would look like before sitting in the salon chair. This pairs perfectly with the Hair Color Consultant analysis.
The AI Professional Headshot Creator transforms casual photos into professional-looking headshots. While designed for LinkedIn and business contexts, the polish it adds is useful for anyone who wants a clean, professional-quality photo.
The AI Clothing Changer lets you try different outfits, formal wear, or style changes on your existing photos. Visualize how a different wardrobe would look before spending money on new clothes.
Your voice is part of your overall impression and often gets overlooked in looksmaxxing discussions. How you sound affects how people perceive your confidence, intelligence, and attractiveness.
The Vocal Analysis tool evaluates your vocal technique, tone, range, expression, pitch accuracy, and stylistic elements. Upload a recording of yourself speaking and get detailed feedback on your strengths and areas for improvement. This is the vocal equivalent of the facial analysis tools — it tells you what you are working with.
Several tools help you refine how you communicate:
With so many tools available, it helps to follow a structured approach. Here is a practical workflow for getting the most out of AI-powered looksmaxxing:
Start by establishing where you are. Upload a clear, well-lit, front-facing photo with a neutral expression and run it through:
Now explore your individual features in detail:
Based on your analysis, identify the highest-impact changes. Typically the fastest improvements come from:
Before committing to changes, preview them:
After making changes, rerun the analysis tools to measure improvement. The Attractiveness Test and Photogenic Test provide quantified feedback that lets you see your progress over time.
Start with your biggest bottleneck, not your weakest feature. If your skin is clear but your wardrobe is a mess, improving your style will have a bigger impact than optimizing an already-good skincare routine. Use the analysis tools to identify where the biggest gap is between your current state and your potential.
Take consistent photos for comparison. When tracking your glow up progress, use the same lighting, angle, and distance for your before-and-after photos. Natural daylight, front-facing, neutral expression. This gives you accurate comparisons when rerunning the analysis tools.
Focus on health-based improvements first. Skin health, hair health, posture, and fitness are improvements that compound over time and benefit you beyond appearance. The Skin Health Analyzer and Hair Health Scanner give you measurable scores to track.
Use color analysis before shopping. One of the highest-return looksmaxxing investments is wearing the right colors. Run the Seasonal Color Analysis and Personal Color Harmony tools before your next shopping trip. Wearing your best colors makes your complexion look healthier and your features more vibrant — for zero effort after the initial analysis.
Do not neglect your voice. Your voice is part of your overall impression and is trainable. Run the Vocal Analysis and Filler Word Detector to identify areas for improvement. Reducing filler words and improving vocal tone are changes that improve how you are perceived in every conversation, presentation, and phone call.
No. While looksmaxxing terminology originated in male-dominated online spaces, the underlying concept — using data and analysis to improve your appearance systematically — applies to everyone. All the tools on this page work regardless of gender, and the recommendations are personalized to your individual features. A data-driven approach to self-improvement has no gender requirement.
The tools themselves do not change how you look — they provide analysis and recommendations. The value is in the specific, personalized information. Knowing your face shape, best colors, and skin type lets you make targeted decisions that actually work, instead of following generic advice that may not apply to you. The improvement comes from acting on the insights.
AI analysis tools provide consistent, well-informed assessments based on advanced computer vision. They are best used as directional guidance — the specific feature breakdowns and recommendations are more valuable than any single number. Use them to understand patterns and identify areas for improvement, not as absolute judgments.
Photos uploaded to just build things are processed by the AI for analysis and are not stored or shared. They are used only for the duration of your analysis session.
Begin with the Face Shape Analyzer and Looksmax AI Analysis. The face shape analysis gives you the most immediately useful information for hairstyle and glasses decisions, while the Looksmax AI tool provides targeted, actionable advice specific to your features. From there, follow the workflow outlined above.
Looksmaxxing does not have to be complicated. AI tools give you objective, personalized data about your features so you can make informed decisions instead of guessing. Whether you want to find your most flattering hairstyle, build a better skincare routine, upgrade your wardrobe, or improve how you photograph, the analysis tools provide a clear starting point.
