Browner skin Narrower facial shape Less fat Fuller and more symmetrical lips Darker eye brows More and darker lashes Upper half of the face broader in relation to the lower Higher cheek bones Prominent lower jaw More prominent chin No receding brows Thinner lids No wrinkles between nose and corner of the mouth
