Why do ♀ Keepers have no darkened nostrils?

[HeyMcFly]

I was messing around with Miqo CC & immediately noticed how the Keepers have something missing- their nostrils! Unlike their gender counterpart or Seekers of the sun, the 1st 2 female Keeper of the Moon faces are lacking the shadow/ darkening for nostrils.
I was wondering if this was a bug/ unfinished & just forgotten because it certainly looks that way IMO & would look better if they were actually finished or improved upon by one day having the same features as the rest of their faces (like darkened nostrils)

What do you think?

These are the Same faces (face 1) but top is from Keepers of the moon
Bottom is Seekers of the Sun

The better to not smell the stinky moon boys with, my dear.

(In all seriousness I don’t see a difference :x)

they're probably super stinky, too- maybe it was the safest call

Same. I can't see a difference either. Maybe it just seems that way to them since one is grey and one is tanned.

I went and did my own research in the creator. It seems keepers of the moon do in fact have no darkened texture nostril texture BUT only on face 1 and face 2. Face 3, and face 4 both have darkened nostrils.

In conclusion, face 1 and face 2 miqo'te keepers are mouth breathers. Their noses are for decoration.

That gave me a good chuckle- I appreciate you

Nostrils?? Does anyone actually look at their characters' face that closely after they're done with the creation screens?

When you're creating your character, I'd imagine most (not all) tend to pay attention to their characters face since it's you know, apart of character customization. That's why the pictures are of the character in the CC screen.
Outside of CC? I don't know, because players sure as heck don't pay attention to their fashion either- Unique characters existing in FFXIV seems to only be an NPC thing. Almost all miqo'te I've seen choose one specific look anyways, as most are seekers.
For myself, I actually try to like my character, so the answer is Yes. I do pay close attention to certain details.
