What are Cheekbones in face reading?

Cheekbones are the bones below and beside the eyes that set the width of the face, and in face reading they are linked with power, authority and influence. In Mian Xiang they correspond to ages 46 and 47 on the age map and are read together with the nose: the nose stands for the person, the cheekbones for the circle that supports them. The reader looks at how high the cheekbones sit, how far they project, whether they are covered with flesh. Cheekbones that harmonize with the nose and are padded with flesh are read as having a voice and earning respect. Cheekbones so sharp and bare that they overshadow the nose are read as a competitive manner or difficulty sharing authority. A common misconception is that prominent cheekbones always mean a strong personality; the tradition reads the balance between cheekbones and nose.
