😊 脸 (face) + 颊 (cheek) = the cheek part of the face
脸 — flesh radical 月 (肉) + 僉 qiān (phonetic)
脸 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The left side 月 is the 'flesh/body' radical (from 肉), signaling a body part. The right side 僉 supplies the sound. Originally 臉 meant the cheeks or area below the eyes; over time it broadened to mean the whole face. 脸 is the simplified form.
