I thought I'd lead off with a beautiful face (above), but there's more to this face than meets the eye. I'll talk about it later. Hint: it has to do with the muzzle.
An ironic smile (above) which comes off very strong because of the simple, broad, uncomplicated face around it
Above, a Judith Anderson look-alike. Remember Anderson in Hitchcock's "Rebbecca?" What do you think of the tiny mouth made prominent by lipstick, the long nose, the eerie, murderous eyes, and the devilish eyebrows? Don't eat or drink anything she offers, and never, ever spend the night.
An odd face (above) because the features appear to be floating on it.
Some faces (above) just naturally seem to be wide-angled, or CinemaScoped. It doesn't hurt her looks, though.
A good-looking girl (above) caught with disdainful "yuck"wrinkles above the nose. The wrinkles don't cross her nose horizontally, but rather fan out from the eyes. Come to think of it, her nose is oddly vertical, and her hair looks like an askew helmet.
Here's a face (above) that looks like it was pushed out slightly from the inside. This is a fairly common trait.
Here's that face again. Did you figure out what was so unusual about it? It's the muzzle. The mouth is wrapped around a vertical cylinder which is inserted deep into the cheeks. The big lower lip and pointed chin make for interesting embellishments.
Here's (above) a less pronounced version of the same thing. The mouth cylinder is still visible, and it's set off by the teeth and a linear, horizontal eye mask.
Another muzzle cylinder (above), but one which is not buried too deep into the cheeks. The mouth with rounded corners, the V-shaped nasal bridge, and the interesting half-open eyes and flair eyebrows make for a fascinating appearance.
A good-looking woman (above) whose face below the nose recedes inward.
And the opposite (above): a good-looking woman whose face below the mid-point extends outward.
BTW, Thanks to Lester for the correction about the name of the actress in the Hitchcock film.

And now-!, Uncle Eddie and his Real Girls!!
Edith Evans in Rebecca? Do you mean Joan Fontaine?
Lester: Edith Evans was the woman who tormented Joan Fontaine.
I laughed out loud when I saw the fourth picture.
I'm sure she's a sweet woman.
Eddie: Oh you mean Judith Anderson. Yes that picture does represent a similar facial type. ... J. A. is one of my faves. I actually have a framed handbill on my wall for a performance of "Medea," autographed by her.
Lester: Thanks for the correction, which I put into the post!
