Which cheek concavity looks is ideal?

[Feanor]

A.

B.

Their facial structures are slightly different, but I think A could look somewhat like B if he reduced his facial fat / bloat. And I mean thats the typical concavity type you'll get from having high cheekbones, the average. If you can't spot the difference it's that B doesn't really have a cheekline towards mouth or chin. The area between his nose and cheekbones is extremely lean. These are the two types of having a concavity that people on PSL don't really seem to distinguish. Personally I think the sharp look you get from having high cheekbones and very low facial fat, B, is very striking.

This is what I am attempting to describe.

A or over

i guess i'm closer to B look than first, i rather have no forward projection but good lateral one. Stil i guess we prefer what we don't have, so 1st

 

[Aesthetics_III]

A since cheekbones

A or over

B is really not a great example because you've become distracted by him having less forward cheekbone growth. His cheek concavity would look the same if they were more forward. I don't mean to ask if you would prefer forward grown or not.

that's the sort of concavity for people who have high cheekbones. a diagonal cheekline. they don't have the very little facial fat and bloating that makes that creates that sharp look on the right.

B is ideal because he looks less ethnic

This is what I'm attempting to describe. The top row is correct and the lines are reversed on the bottom. B has the sharp sunken cheeks look. I associated it with low bf and low bloating because I can achieve a similar look sunken look by having this.

Oh I get it. @Zyros asked the same thing some time ago, he even had names for the different looks but I think its mainly due to lightning from front or back

This is what I am attempting to describe. The lines are reversed on the bottom. The pics are not good examples as the guy on the right is actually more bloated but it is possible to go from having a diagonal cheek line to the sunken one as i am able to do so when low BF and low bloat.

Lighting differences... and where’s the “bloat” you talk of in A? This forum loves to throw the term “bloat” around to describe anyone with high BF%, but this guy isn’t even fat.
B doesnt have a line from the cheek to chin because his cheekbone are lower than A but prominent. He will have hollowing in a small circular region (see Johnny Depp). High cheekbones means more hollowed area.

look at this thread

https://looksmax.org/threads/different-types-of-cheekbones.23651/

nobody has a conclusive idea of what creates this difference. I am able to achieve the sunken look by having low bf and low bloat and my cheek line will become much less diagonal in the same lighting. in this thread the top reply seems to even contradict what you believe "prominent" cheekbones are. I don't believe prominence is a thing. There is lateral and forward growth and low and high. i believe this look is strongly influenced by facial fat and bloating and by that I mean water bloat.

high-set cheekbones and low-set eyebrows - compact eye area - really is almost everything

they look a little diagonal in that lighting but understand that A and the model in the left of the pic i just posted are incapable of looking ever like B

It is closely related to how forward the maxilla is but you can go between if yours is neutral like mine by controlling bf and bloat.

Lateral/forward growth of the cheekbones is prominence. Simply put, how “separate” they look from the rest of your mid-face region. Some people have very laterally prominent cheekbones, like many Asian phenos, while others have more forward grown cheekbones. It’s a mix in most people I’ve observed publicly.

Looking at the thread you linked, the second person has good forward growth, but lacks lateral prominence. In addition, his cheekbones aren’t as high as the person on the left. Lateral prominence of the cheekbones, in conjunction with wide bigonials, is what gives the look Andreas Eriksen has. On the other hand, forward grown, low-set cheekbones (lacking lateral growth) will give a much smaller hollowed area like the second person in both this thread and the one you linked.

Think about it, higher, more laterally grown cheekbones means a larger angle to reach the chin (hence diagonal line) and also more area lacking any bone mass and is only soft tissue (the hollowed portion). Moving the second dude’s cheekbones higher and wider will give him the diagonal look.

well to me the main difference between the two is that the guy that you posted as B has a weaker jaw

i am aware that the difference in the looks A and B is affected by the placement of the cheekbones, and I am aware you also recognize that they do exist without being a trick of lighting, but i seem to be under fire for claiming that a person can have lateral and high cheekbones and still achieve a similar sunken look as is seen on the examples. the soft tissue of the diagonal line from the cheek bones to the chin is exactly that, soft tissue. it contains fat and may become noticeably bloated by water. in the same lighting, you will achieve a sunken, less diagonal line of the soft tissue. The guy in the thread i linked referencing bones is also wrong because there is an abundance of soft tissue on the cheeks.

yes

According to this pic and according to your OP, I personally find B to look better.
A might look kinda weird and gay IRL, maybe because nobody actually has such bone structure ( i guess).

The thing is, fat around the cheeks will be distributed evenly, and even in the sunken look you described seen in the second person, there is hollowing, albeit in a smaller area. If you gain BF and eat a shit ton of sodium for bloatmaxxing, your entire cheek region will be filled out. The small hollowed portion seen in the second person won’t be there, because BF now covers it. It’ll just look like you put on a few pounds.

A looks alien

B has more irl appeal and is more attractive

sorry i don't follow what you're trying to say. i didn't say that you'd get B by gaining facial volume as you seem to be implying. i think you believe i'm claiming this is related to a difference in cheek bone structure when i've already said i've only provided bad distracting examples as their cheekbones are different. i have said i believe the difference in concavity i'm describing is related to soft tissue volume (fat + bloat). this is an exaggerated example of someone dramatically reducing their facial fat and bloat. the grey represents the shadows in the same lighting. there is now an increased prominence of forward growth that was hidden beneath the volume (shadows next to the nose and assuming they had some cheekbones to begin with) and the soft tissue between the cheek bone and mouth line has become reduced.

i suspect the bottom image may become unfeasible with a very forward maxilla. as you can see there is no longer a diagonal.

Your IQ must be around the number of likes on this thread... B has more bloat if anything... A HAS A FUCKINH GOOD MAXILLA AND B DOESN'T... A MOGS SO HARD YOU CAN'T COPE WITH NOT LOOKING LIKE Him...

this what not a good thread but you're low IQ. everyone has a different idea of what's going on. read the post above yours or all the ones i made in this thread. retard. jfl. btw it has nothing to do with maxilla. that is highly speculative. you can't even tell how forward grown the first guy is. jfl. that guy didn't even respond because he didn't have an answer for my last post.
