Face Markings
Masks
Duns sometimes, but certainly not always, have LOWER dark face masks.
These appear to be more common on younger stock.
Sometimes a grulla (dun on pure black) will have a completely dark head :
 
If you see darkness (masking) on the UPPER face only, such as on the
forehead, this is often "shading" as seen in mahogany bay or seal brown. |

Eye markings have their own page, but I'm gonna repeat them
here,
since the eye is part of the face!

Here is one variation on dun eye markings. There are several
types! This AQHA filly is Rick to a Tee, owned by Haas
QH's, on one of her fist days wearing a saddle.

Mary should really keep her fillies out of her makeup! This
buckskin seems to have overdone her "eyebrows"... this is Cowboys
Shining 209, also of Haas
QH's.
