wide nose
Broad facial feature
A wide nose has nostrils that spread relatively far apart, creating a broader nasal base.
The term is descriptive in medical and cosmetic contexts but carries historical weight from racist pseudoscience that categorized facial features by race.
In contemporary use, it's neutral when describing anatomy: She inherited her father's wide nose.
