Large malar or upper cheek fat pad.
This is not the same as having prominent or forward grown zygos. Christian Bale has forward grown zygos but little upper cheek fat:
This combined with the prominent zygos is why his face looks lean and chiseled.
Barrett, on the other hand, doesn’t have prominent zygos like Bale, but has a large upper cheek fat pad:
This is why his face looks feminine and bloated:
Upper cheek fat is one of the biggest dimorphic traits that separates a male appearance from female. Large upper cheek fat is a feminine and neotonous trait commonly found in attractive women:
Her’s isn’t even as large as Barrett’s:
It’s not due to Barrett’s large maxilla either, which is a masculine trait. O’ Pry has a very forward grown maxillary base but very little upper cheek fat prominence:
This is why, even without prominent zygos, O’ Pry’s face looks more lean and masculine.
Now I’m not saying Barrett looks completely effeminate. He looks more androgynous as he has lots of masculine traits (high cheekbones, long nasal bridge, prominent supraorbital rims, protrusive palate, etc.)
Howeever, he also has lots of overtly feminine traits (weak nasal bridge, short upturned nose, overall lack of facial length, etc.)
So, if you don’t have prominent zygos, technically having a positive orbital vector like Barrett is not good as it’s due to large upper cheek fat, not prominent zygos like Bale. When you have a negative orbital vector due to lack of zygos prominence, it’s better to have little upper cheek fat and have a negative vector than having a positive one because of lots of cheek fat. See O’ Pry for proof.
