English term or phrase: Two days worth of stubble lined his strong jaw.
"His gray, sleeveless T-shirt emphasized his muscled, olive-skinned biceps, which glistened with a light sheen of sweat. Two days worth of stubble lined his strong jaw."

Como traduzir para PT-Br? De preferência, uma oração que soe bem natural. No momento, isto é o que tenho:

O seu forte maxilar apresentava uma barba que não era feita há dois dias.

Obrigado!

Uma barba de dois dias cobria seu forte maxilar
Explanation:
O verbo poderia ser outro (adornar, enfeitar, etc.), mas acho que esse tipo de construção funciona melhor.

E talvez "robusto" ou "potente" em vez de "forte"?
