What do Koreans mean when they say you have a "small face"?

You're pretty

It's supposed to be a compliment since they regard having a small face as attractive.

Small in proportion to the rest of your body. Basically: Good proportions. The standard is sadly Barbie dolls and anime/manga characters.

Hmmm that I'm not sure, but like compared to the rest of your body your face is small.

There is even the way to measure it, I think... Remember that I found it years ago when I got into kpop.

your face is small i guess, like Jennie's face is really small, it's a compliment.

it's a compliment, trust me. it means you're pretty/you have a nice sized (aka not fat) face
