Probably between 8-12% depending on genetics

Too lean and your face gets shrunken in like a teenager or holocaust "survivor"

If anyone doubts 6.1% body fat, if you had the original film negative of that photo of David's Arms in the photo with Karl Malone and blew that up to a poster size print, you wouldn't doubt it anymore.

It's variable depending on your bone structure and fat distribution patterns

For instance if you have a **** bone structure, but hold on to fat at the undereye area but not so much at the cheeks, you'll look a lot better at 20% bf than 10%

If you have a good bone structure, leaner is better up until around 10-12%. At that point getting leaner will give you a wasted looking face and you'll descend

For nattys usually 10-12. Any lower its difficult to maintain fullness and pump unless you do more cardio to compensate for eating more not worth it imo.
Rather stay around 10-12 year round then spend 2 months getting getting to 8% or under for it to last for a month or two max.

Depends on genetics/how you store fat.

When I'm 10-12% bf I have a pretty lean face, sharp jawline and hollow cheeks.
13-14%I still have a jaw but no cheekbones.
15%+ and I have a full blown moon face.

One of friends is like 20-25% % yet still has fully defined cheekbones and jawline JFL. If I get that high I look obese facially lmao.
