Face card definition: what "Face card" means and examples

February 13, 2026

A metaphor for someone’s facial beauty, suggesting it is a currency that never fails or "declines" in any situation.

This suggests that because someone is so conventionally attractive, they can get away with anything. Their face is their "card," and it is always accepted. It is the ultimate compliment regarding one's facial features.

Examples:

"Her face card is elite; she looks good in every single photo."
"Even with messy hair, his face card never declines."
"You don't need fancy clothes when your face card is that strong."
