The exactly meaning and usage of particle "no" in this sentence.
輪郭の柔らかな瓜実顔。
Is this translated like, "the outlines of her soft oval face"?
In the book I'm reading it is translated as "soft oulines of her oval face", but since 柔らか is connected to 瓜実顔, I'm a bit confused about the translation.

Translation in the book is correct.
In this phrase, NO acts like GA particle.
尻尾の黒い猫=尻尾が黒い猫
A cat with black tail.
Adjective applies to the previous word, not to the next one.
But it depends on context.
近所の黒い猫≠*近所が黒い猫(doesn't make sense)
Neighbor's black cat.
長い尻尾の黒い猫(Not appropriate, because of ambiguousness)
A cat with long, black tail/ A black cat with long tail
