the forehead and extended between the two nostrils.
Disconnected Star, Strip, and Snip: a marking on the forehead with a narrow extension of
nasal peak and opening up again between the nostrils.
Star and Strip: a marking on the forehead with a strip to
nasal peak. The strip may connect to the
star.

It can extend out and around the eyes and can extend down to the upper
