physiognomic
Concerning facial features
Physiognomic relates to facial features or expressions, especially as supposedly revealing character or temperament.
The word derives from physiognomy—the pseudoscientific practice of judging personality from facial structure.
Today it usually describes facial characteristics without the dubious claims: physiognomic details in portrait painting, the physiognomic features of great apes.
