The facial skeleton (viscerocranium) is the set of bones that make the face: not the braincase. Looksmaxxing’s “it’s over / bone” talk is almost entirely this mask plus how fat and lids sit on it.[1]
This page is a map. Individual bones have their own articles.
The bones the boards name
| Bone | What the scene is pointing at |
|---|---|
| Frontal bone / forehead | Upper third, brow shelf, hairline |
| Zygomatic bone | Cheek width, highlight, bizygomatic width |
| Maxilla | Midface projection, nose base, upper teeth |
| Nasal bones | Bridge; see nose |
| Lacrimal / ethmoid (orbital plate) | Medial orbit wall — thin, not a rating target |
| Palatine | Hard palate; palate expansion |
| Vomer / inferior turbinate | Airway, not PSL |
| Mandible | Jawline, chin, ramus, gonial angle |
| Sphenoid bone | Skull base; pterygoids; spheno-occipital synchondrosis |
| Temporal | Temple hollow, zygomatic process of the arch |
Paired bones: nasal, maxilla, zygomatic, lacrimal, palatine, inferior nasal concha. Unpaired: vomer, mandible, and the frontal contribution to the brow.
What bone does not do
Chewing blocks do not grow a zygoma. Bonesmashing is injury. Adult sutures are not Play-Doh; see cranial suture and growth plate. Soft tissue (fat, lids, hair) still decides how much bone you see.
