Points to numbers of facial features (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noses

'facial features' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'points to numbers' is the wordplay.
'points' becomes 'es' (E is an example).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'numbers' becomes 'nos' (no. is a kind of number**).
'es' after 'nos' is 'NOSES'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for noses that I've seen before include "Snouts" , "Organs of smell" , "Proboscises" , "Beaks, conks" , "Facial features" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
