Editorial Policy

The standards every FaceOracle article follows

Effective date: April 23, 2026

FaceOracle's blog and guides cover cultural, visual, and styling topics — traditional face-reading history, face shapes, personal color, photography lighting, first-impression research. We treat this writing as interpretive commentary, not factual claims about any individual, and we label it that way on every page.

1. Scope

We cover: history of physiognomy, face-shape styling, glasses/hair matching, personal color basics, how lighting and angle shape photo impressions, first-impression psychology research, creative entertainment stories.
We do not cover: pieces that claim to read personality, ability, intelligence, health, nationality, sexual orientation, or criminality from a face; takedowns of specific people; medical or legal advice.

2. How we phrase things

We prefer softened framing— "traditionally interpreted as…", "studies have reported a tendency toward…" — instead of "proven," "always," or "100%."
Entertainment posts (face reading, past-life, animal look-alike) carry a clearly labeled entertainment notice at the top and bottom.
We do notwrite anything suggesting there is an "ideal face" or "face to avoid" attached to a specific race, nationality, or gender.
When discussing real public figures, we stay within publicly reported information about their career and image — we do not speculate about their character or private life.

3. Sources

Celebrity images come from public sources such as Wikipedia and Naver Search and remain the property of their original copyright holders.
When we reference scientific research, we credit the publishing institution and approximate timeframe; we do not present research findings as settled truth.
User-uploaded photos are never used in article writing.

4. Authors and accountability

All posts are written by the FaceOracle editorial team. We do not invent personas, fake credentials, or imaginary reviewers. Send feedback or corrections to yuseong2099@gmail.com.

5. Corrections and updates

When a factual error is confirmed, we update the article and place an update timestamp at the top.
When newer research revises what earlier research claimed, we note the reason for the update.

6. AI-assistance disclosure

Some posts may use AI language models during drafting, but all articles are fully reviewed by the editorial team for accuracy, phrasing, and safety before publication. We do not publish raw AI output.

7. Advertising and independence

We may display Google AdSense advertisements, but advertisers do not influence editorial decisions. Sponsored or affiliate content, when it appears, will be clearly disclosed in the body of the article.
