When I was a child at elementary school I heard this one rhyme used to tease Chinese and Japanese or just about any Asian student if they were unlucky enough.
It was "Chinese Japanese, dirty knees, look at these."
I think that was how it went. Anyways I'm not going into the whole ordeal of having to put up with that but I am using the stereotype to illustrate a cheekbone height theory.'
When the child said "Chinese" he or she used the tips of his/her index fingers point up the eyes and made them slanted. When "Japanese" the tips of the fingers made the eyes slant downwards. Therefore I think when the eyes trailing edges points down, you have a definitive lower cheekbone relative to a person whose eyes' trailing edges points upward.
Then again there are such things as people with palebral fissures that look slanted upwards and they appear to have lower cheekbones so the theory is probably incorrect in some area.
