The most distinctive thing about the VMS faces is the lumpy outer cheek and the almost-absent other cheek (the jawline does not extend along the line of the closer cheek and, on some of them, that semicircle line from the eyebrow to the forehead (which is odd and distinctive).
The rosy cheeks are not unusual and I've seen a few manuscripts where the eyes are sometimes filled in and sometimes hollow. In one manuscript, hollow eyes indicated death, in another, hollow eyes indicated less important people in the picture (people in the crowd).
