What is a Diamond Face in face reading?

A diamond face is an angular face shape with a narrow forehead and chin, where the cheekbones are the widest point. In face reading it is linked with independence, original thinking and the wish to set one's own course. The shape belongs to the modern face shape classification; since Mian Xiang reads prominent cheekbones as authority and influence, the reading of a diamond face rests largely on the balance between cheekbones and nose. The reader compares the width at the cheekbones with the forehead and chin, and looks at whether the cheekbones are padded with flesh. A diamond face that harmonizes with the nose is read as someone who takes responsibility and stands out in a crowd. A common misconception is that the diamond face is a privileged face; in the tradition it is one type among the others. You can get a face reading on Faltastik by uploading a clear photo of your face.
