Face fortune telling and face feng shui reading come from the Chinese tradition of mian xiang. In fact, here is how they work, what they claim and how to treat them.

Feng shui is the Chinese practice of arranging space and energy. Similarly, Face feng shui applies similar ideas to the face, with zones, elements and “palaces” linked with luck and life areas.
Fortune telling from the face: the twelve palaces
Chinese face reading names twelve palaces on the face, for example the palace of life (between the brows), of wealth (nose) and of children (under the eyes). For example, each is read for related life areas.
This tradition and ageing
Also, different ages relate to points on the face. In addition, a reader may look at the point for your current age to describe themes. In fact, these are symbolic descriptions.
How to treat it
Take it as a cultural tradition and a prompt for reflection. Similarly, a good reader avoids fear and certainty. Likewise, read the Chinese face reading guide for the basics.
Read your face as a whole
For example, no single feature decides a reading. Traditional readers look at balance across the forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips and chin, and then at the birth chart. In addition, start with our complete guide to face reading astrology or try a free face reading online.
