    I would say that on the face of Keira Knightley we also can see zygomatic major m. sometimes. For example here https://www.pinterest.ru/pin/58406126391749448/. Am I right? This is it?

    1. I believe you’re right Larisa.

    It’s not the first lecture on facial muscles that I watched. But it’s definitely the most detailed and explanatory. Plenty of work is done to gather all these knowledge together. Every. Little. Detail. So cool! Highly appreciated!
