Are there any personality traits associated with certain facial shapes or features in men or women? Yes, features of masculinity --such as a heavy brow and angular face--somewhat overlap the expressions of anger and the facial features of roundness and soft features--overlap with the facial expressions for happiness so we are more likely to see a smiling face as feminine and an angry face as masculine. (Interesting to note that men with higher than average testosterone smile less)
