Women have more of a flatter, straight line or curved hairline.
Females have almost no discernable brow bossing because their foreheads are more rounded with a fairly flat front. In profile, female foreheads are usually more vertical instead of backward sloping.
Female eyebrows generally sit higher and are more arched or wing-shaped.
The eyes in a woman appear larger. This is in part because of the shape of the bony rim above and the forehead, and partly because of the cheekbones. The combination of bone shapes create relatively larger eyes which is considered both feminine and attractive. Eyes tend to be more wide-set then men’s.
Female cheeks tend to be fuller and more rounded, and cheekbones are a little higher and further forward, showing more prominence.
The female nose is smaller and shorter. It has a narrower bridge and nostrils, often has a more concave profile and tends to be blunter at the tip. It also has a greater angulation between the lip and the tip of the nose.
When a female mouth is relaxed and slightly open, it tends to show a bit of top teeth, lending a youthful appearance to the face. The area between the top lip and nose often has a more backward slope in females.
Female jaw lines run in a gentle curve from the earlobe to the chin. In males it tends to drop down straight from the ear and then turn at a sharp angle towards the chin, giving a square appearance.
Female chins are rounded and typically less prominent.
Men tend to have a higher, more receded hairline than women. The hairline also tends to form an ‘M’ shape that recedes at the temples.
Men’s foreheads tend to be backwards sloping, with an overhanging horizontal brow, whereas women’s tend to be more vertical. Perhaps the most noticeable male characteristic on the forehead is brow-bossing.
This refers to the ridge of bone that runs across the forehead just above the eyes, and it is usually far more pronounced in males.
Male eyebrows are fairly straight and thick and sit on or just under the orbital rims with minimal eyebrow arch.
Men often have hollow cheeks, because of flatter cheekbones and their tendency to carry less fat.
Male noses are longer and wider and tend to have a more prominent, straighter bridge and greater width to the middle of the nose. An attractive male nose has less tip rotation than women’s.
In males, the distance between the nose’s base and the top of the lip is usually longer.
The male jawbone is usually heavier built and tends to be wider because the masseter muscles, also known as the chewing muscles, attached to the corners of the jawbone are much bigger.
The Adam’s apple is usually visible and very prominent in males but rarely visible in females.
Male chins are wider, have a flat base and have two corners that form a square shape. Male chins are taller and heavier and are more likely to have a vertical cleft in the middle.
