She had good width at the cheek bones tapering to a short wedge that could have a little more width. She had amber eyes that could be larger and they appeared to be a little watery, preventing her from opening them fully which I put down to the fact that she was teething, having two sets of teeth. Unfortunately this spoilt her overall appearance on the day.
