I've looked at Michael Peterson on a computer before, and I never saw it. Now I just see the makeup. See the shader to my his cheeks look hollowed, and under his eyes.
Curious line above the brow. Not natural, therefore a tell of something, and it looks to be pulling the eyes up at the outer corned. It's a way to change someone's look, make their eyes appear more deep-set.
Again, more makeup around the eyes to make them look deep-set, and shader again around his temples and under his cheeks to make his cheekbone stand out.
I should have really guessed, because I know it from a BBC4 programme. The clue being the name. And of course, they were pushing the homosexual angle in this work of fiction.

The Staircase (French miniseries)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_on_the_Staircase
The Staircase (French: Soupçons, lit. ''Suspicions''; also known as Death on the Staircase) is a 2004 French-produced, English-language documentary television miniseries directed by Jean-Xavier de Lestrade about the trial of Michael Peterson, convicted of murdering his wife, Kathleen Peterson.
Following from de Lestrade's Oscar-winning Murder on a Sunday Morning, filming began soon after Peterson's indictment. Camera crews were given access to the accused's extended family, the defense attorneys, and the courtroom.
An abbreviated version was broadcast as a special two-hour presentation of American news show Primetime Thursday on July 22, 2004. The miniseries was completed in September 2004, and premiered in October on Canal+, from January 10–14, 2005, on BBC Four (as part of its Storyville documentary series), and from April 4–25 on Sundance Channel.
Lestrade returned to film Peterson and his family in 2012–2013, covering developments in the case that were released as a two-hour sequel. Three new episodes with further updates were later made for Netflix, and in 2018, the streaming channel added all 13 episodes to its catalog, making it available as one series.
