Canthal Tilt Explained: The Eye Metric That Rules Omoggle

What is Canthal Tilt?

Canthal tilt refers to the angle formed by an imaginary line drawn from the inner corner (medial canthus) to the outer corner (lateral canthus) of each eye. It's one of six primary metrics measured by Omoggle's AI and is considered one of the most important facial features in looksmaxxing culture.

Positive vs. Negative Canthal Tilt

Positive canthal tilt

When the outer corner of the eye sits higher than the inner corner, you have a positive canthal tilt. This is associated with a more angular, sharp, and conventionally attractive appearance. Most high-scoring faces on the PSL Scale have at least slight positive canthal tilt. Omoggle's AI consistently scores positive tilt higher.

Negative canthal tilt

When the outer corner sits lower than the inner corner, you have a negative canthal tilt. This creates a drooping or tired appearance around the eyes and is scored lower by Omoggle's algorithm. Many people with neutral or slightly negative tilt can compensate with a strong jawline and high symmetry.

How Much Does Canthal Tilt Affect Your Score?

Based on community testing of Omoggle's results, canthal tilt appears to carry approximately 15–20% of the total facial score weight. A strong positive tilt can overcome average scores on other metrics.

Can you improve canthal tilt?

Naturally, canthal tilt is largely genetic and skeletal. Long-term interventions like mewing and reduced body fat can subtly alter facial structure, but results are modest. For camera purposes, shooting from slightly above eye level (where the camera is above your eye line) naturally emphasizes whatever positive tilt you have.
