visaged

Bearing a countenance

Visaged means having a face or countenance of a particular kind, almost always appearing with a modifier: grim-visaged, pale-visaged, fair-visaged.

The word is literary and old-fashioned, found more often in poetry and historical fiction than in everyday speech.

You rarely encounter visaged standing alone.
