moonfaced

Having round features

Moonfaced describes someone whose face is noticeably round and full, like a full moon.

The term is primarily descriptive rather than pejorative, though context matters: doctors use it clinically to describe facial swelling from conditions like Cushing's syndrome, while in casual use it simply characterizes naturally round facial features.
