hollow cheeks
Concave facial contours
Hollow cheeks are cheeks that curve inward rather than outward, creating a sunken appearance below the cheekbones.
The look suggests thinness, aging, illness, or asceticism: His hollow cheeks gave him a gaunt, haunted appearance.
Models and actors sometimes cultivate hollow cheeks for a dramatic, angular look.
