The typical Hakka appearance is a wide forehead, thick eyebrows and round eyes, a low nose bridge but not collapsed, wide nose wings, a square chin, and a slightly blunt face, so the appearance appears to be relatively soft and gentle.

Well-known actors such as Leslie Cheung and Chow Yun-fat are Hakkas. Brother and Chow Yun-fat can be regarded as the benchmark of Hakka appearance, with a wide square face, flat face but not lacking in three-dimensionality, and even a kind of melancholy temperament.

The temples are sunken inwards, the zygomatic arches aka cheek bones are outwards, the face looks roughly like a diamond, and the facial features are relatively concentrated.

Not very tall, with deep eyebrows and eyes, a short and wide nose, and thick lips, these constitute the typical appearance of Cantonese people.

The Cantonese have protruding jaws, the Hakka have wide and flat faces, while the Chaoshan people have more prominent edges and corners.

The Chaoshan people are a branch of the ancient Heluo people in the Central Plains. They are mostly concentrated in the Chaoshan area of Guangdong and are one of the three major Han ethnic groups in Guangdong.

Generally speaking, the Chaoshan people have sharp edges and corners in appearance, long and high noses, and high three-dimensional facial features, which is a typical southerner with a northern appearance.

I am 75% Cantonese with big round eyes but my sister does not and my 25% termed Hakka genes is not even Han based. In the broad sense, not very definitive

Verify first, got a friend who proclaims he is traditional Teochew as grandfather migrated from there. But he looks like a typical Oppa when young. Main point is migration pattern from the north was prevalent and assimilation into Han culture was easy to mask off its original descent for whatever reasons.
