Cheekbones

Consider the face a three dimensional structure. A clay sculpture. It can be painted and contoured, but if the original bones of the face, the physical shape, is not beautiful, then the sculpture is without its most fundamental asset. We were each borne with unique skulls. To allow us to see this structure shows the individual beauty of that face. If the naked shape of the face is indiscernible, the face can never be truly seen. The model 'cheekbone' is so popularised because it appears wide-eyed, naive and naked. It shows the strength and structure of a woman (or man's) face.
