Find out your shape, type, size, fit and location of the eyes

There are many different races living on our planet, representatives of which can be immediately distinguished from each other by their appearance. We will never confuse a European with an African because the former has a white skin tone, while the latter has a very dark skin tone. Indians have reddish skin, sometimes referred to as “copper,” while Asians have yellowish, bronze skin. The latter have a very characteristic eye shape, which is called Asian. It seems that the Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc. have narrow eyes, sometimes like slits.

Why do they have such a strange shape? Scientists put forward several versions on this matter, although they all have their own flaws and cannot be considered the only correct ones.

Eyes are the mirror of the soul

Large eyes are a sign of a sensitive person with keen perception and accurate assessment of everything that brings aesthetic pleasure. Strong leadership potential and an attractive personality make a person with large eyes a natural candidate for high social position.
Small eyes indicate a shy, introspective personality, a good-natured person who has difficulty adapting to new people, places or situations. Although people with small eyes do not express themselves very clearly, they are still capable of intellectual potential and become artists or scientists. On the romantic side, they are very loyal and, if provoked, very jealous.
Are the eyes in a straight line, not deviating either up or down? If so, then these are most likely the eyes of a successful person who is in harmony with society, one who is good-natured, honest and conscientious.
Raised eyes belong to a sensitive person with developed intuition, who knows when to take risks with great benefit for himself. Decisions are made easily, and danger is rarely perceived as an obstacle to achieving goals.
Downward slanted eyes, on the other hand, indicate a person who prefers to ingratiate himself and depend on others rather than plan his own course of action. Optimistic and good-natured, he easily becomes a victim, especially often a victim of the opposite sex.

Now let's look at the shape of the eyes as a whole.

Rehabilitation period

Immediately after surgery, unpleasant sensations in the area of skin injury are inevitable. The patient may experience pain in the eyes, pain, dryness, and even double vision. This is normal for any surgical procedure.

For the first 10-14 days, the eyes will be swollen and the sutures will turn red. The patient is given appointment dates to see the doctor to process the surgical incisions, or he does it at home in strict accordance with the surgeon’s instructions.

Recommendations

To avoid complications, the person operated on must follow some medical recommendations:

do not touch your eyes with your hands, protect them from sunlight and any influences; at first it is generally better to go outside only wearing sunglasses,
you can't use cosmetics,
you need to refrain from physical activity and sports,
sleep only on a high pillow and never face it,
do not smoke or drink alcohol, as this slows down the healing of injured tissues,
treat your eyes with special antiseptic drops - your doctor will prescribe them for you,
limit to a complete ban reading books, working on a computer and watching TV,
do not use lenses, temporarily switch to regular glasses.

Types of eye shapes

There are several eye shapes that differ significantly from each other.

These are:

drooping eyes - these include Asian-type eyes and the eyes with which almost all European women are born. The Asian type is different in that there is no noticeable relief from eyelashes to eyebrows. European type eyes are similar to age-related changes in the skin, when the eyes hide under an overhanging fold of skin;
eyes that are set close together - the distance between the eyes is less than the volume of the eyes themselves;
eyes that are set wide apart - the distance between the eyes is much greater than the volume of the eyes themselves;
eyes with drooping outer corners - the appearance of a kind person;
eyes that are deep-set - the space under the eyebrows extends slightly forward, the eyelids are large and mobile, there is a pronounced fold;
bulging eyes – round, large.

To correctly determine the shape of the eyes and their position, you should be patient and have a large mirror.

It is recommended to follow the following tips:

You need to look carefully in the mirror in good lighting (a mirror with a magnifying effect is ideal for this). Look carefully to see if there is a straight fold in the skin on the eyelid (if there is none on the upper eyelid, then the eyes are monolid; if there is a fold, then viewing needs to be continued further). Look at the outer corners of the eyes (visually draw a central line passing through the pupil and the entire eye, see where the corners of the eyes are looking - up or down). If the corners are directed upward, the eyes are raised, if downward, the eyes are lowered.

Pay attention to the fold - to do this, open your eyes wide, look closely and see whether the fold is visible or hidden. If it is hidden, then the woman’s eye shape is “hooded.”

If the fold is visible, you need to look at the last point. You should examine the white coverings of the eyes - if a girl can see the white on the top and bottom, then her eyes are round; if not, she has almond-shaped eyes.

Eye shapes: photos and descriptions will help you determine your own shape and correct it with makeup if necessary

It is recommended to determine the position of the eyes based on the following tips:

look in a large mirror so that each eye can be seen separately; pay attention to the outer corners of the eyes (if the size of the eyes is larger than the distance between them, then the eyes are close-set; if, on the contrary, they are wide-set);

Representatives of large eyes are recommended to give preference to smoky shades of eyeshadow. To “calm down” your eyes a little, you should paint over the upper eye line with black eyeliner. For women with wide-set eyes, darkening the corners of the eyelid, which is in a stationary state, is suitable.

Girls with close-set eyes need to highlight between the eyebrows, darken the outer corner of the eyelid, and do not paint the inner corner at all. If a representative of the fair sex has deep eyes, she needs to use only warm colors in her makeup and highlight the inner corner of the eye and a slightly motionless eyelid.

The shapes of the eyes, photos and descriptions of which were presented above, allow you to choose the appropriate type of arrows in makeup.

Basic arrows - a short arrow that makes the look more expressive. You need to paint the upper part with a black pencil, along the eyelashes, and make a small arrow in the corner of the eyes.
Arrow with two tails - instead of the 1st tail, make 2 small ones.
The classic option is to first draw a tail, then a line along the eyelashes, connecting them, each time thickening them towards the corner of the eyes.
Half arrow – start drawing a classic arrow from the middle of the eye;
Wide arrow – draw further than a regular classic arrow, but also make up eyelashes thicker.
The Arabic version is to paint along the eyelashes on both sides.

The shape of the eyes can be emphasized using:

pencil;
carcasses;
eyeliners;
highlighter;
shadows;
powders;
foundation.

What are the features of Asian makeup?

Classic makeup schemes don't work when it comes to Asian makeup. When using decorative cosmetics, you should take into account that oriental beauties have certain characteristics.

Asian women's skin color never contains a pinkish undertone. This means that foundation and corrective compositions should be chosen with yellow pigments. Accordingly, we exclude coral, terracotta and pink blush. We settle on classic colors of beige or caramel.
When tinting eyelashes and eyebrows, only an uncompromising jet black color is used.
The shape of the eyelid dictates the use of a special palette of shadows: all shades close to skin color. Gold and silver paints are chosen to place accents.
But there are no restrictions on the color of lipstick. The lips are decorated with fatal bright scarlet lipstick and cold pale pink and rich burgundy color.

The main problem that we have to solve is how to make an Asian eye shape for a girl with a Slavic appearance. After all, only with the help of cosmetics it is necessary to achieve the effect of a flat eyelid, which has almost no crease.

Is it possible to change the shape and type of eyes?

Changing the shape and type of eyes is possible in several ways:

visual correction using the right makeup;
plastic surgery;
injections;
eyelid stickers.

Plastic surgery to correct the shape of the eyes is most popular among Asians.
For this purpose, blepharoplasty is used to change the shape of the eyelids and underlying tissues. With its help, the corner is corrected, wrinkles are eliminated, the eyelid is lifted and folds in the upper part of the face are removed. Indications for the procedure are:

pronounced bags under the eyes;
deep wrinkles in the eye area;
drooping upper eyelid.

The operation is not cosmetic and is performed under anesthesia. Depending on the work performed, correction of the upper eyelid, changing the shape and shape of the eyes, correction of the lower eyelid with or without removal of fat deposits, and circular blepharoplasty vary. In the latter case, both eyelids are corrected simultaneously.

Botox injections improve skin elasticity, mask and open tired eyelids, straighten folds and wrinkles. The procedure is unsafe if the antiseptic rules are not followed, the product is of poor quality and a specialist without experience or certificate.

Special eyelid stickers are created by Korean companies. When glued, they create a fold and transform the look.

A safe way is to visually change the appearance of your eyelids using makeup. To do this, you need to determine your characteristics. To highlight, you can use foundation, powder, highlighter, eyeliner, various types of shadows, pencil and mascara.

For small eyes, make-up uses light pearlescent shades of shadows, which are applied to the surface of the eyelid to the corner of the eyebrows. The second color is from dark shades. It is applied in a small amount along the fold, then shaded. With this method of makeup, the look becomes deeper and the eyes visually enlarge.

When making up a convex shape, use a dark pencil to make a line along the inside of the upper and lower eyelids. Then take shadows of a similar shade to the pencil and shade them from the center to the outside.

For those with deep-set eyes, you will need a foundation with a light texture and light shade. A small amount conceals darkening under the lower eyelid. On the upper eyelid, the cream is applied only along the eyebrow line. You can also use light shadows and lengthening mascara. Eyelash extensions are especially suitable for those with deep-set eyes.

Diagnostics

An ophthalmologist can visually determine the nature of the structure of the eye. Prescriptions for modification would be the absence of supraorbital skin, the presence of a Mongoloid feature, a slight gap, vision problems, and personal preference. Next, a consultation with a surgeon is required. He selects the adjustment method on an individual basis. Before surgery, it is better to conduct the following studies:

general blood and urine analysis;
biochemical blood tests;
coagulogram;
examination by a surgeon and anesthesiologist.

Almond-shaped makeup uses dark and light shades of eyeshadow. The first ones are applied and shaded, if necessary, on the folds, the second ones under the eyebrows. A thin eyebrow shape, emphasized with a pencil, is preferred.

With a narrow cut, emphasis should be placed on other parts of the face, diverting attention from the eyelids. Makeup can also be used to highlight imperfections.

These techniques are unacceptable for the following cases:

Makeup can also be used to highlight imperfections. These techniques are unacceptable for the following cases:

arrows for drooping eyelids;
for a sad look, emphasize with shadows or pencil, eyeliner of the lower eyelid;
for deep-set smokey eyelids.

Possible complications

Any surgical intervention in the body is fraught with complications, especially in the sensitive eye area. With the correct surgical technique, there are practically no complications.

Unsuccessful blepharoplasty can cause the following troubles:

dehiscence and infection of postoperative sutures,
inflammatory process in the injured area, requiring antibiotics,
inversion of the upper eyelid,
subcutaneous hematomas,
eye asymmetry,
displacement of the lacrimal openings and subsequent constant lacrimation,
blepharoptosis - significant drooping of the upper eyelid,
conjunctivitis.

Many of these consequences can be treated conservatively—you just need to consult a doctor in time for help. However, some side effects of blepharoplasty can only be corrected by repeat surgery.

Structure of the macula of the eye

The macula coincides with the central zone of the retina. The diameter of the macula is about 5.5 mm. In the very center of the macula there is a depression (pit), the size of which is about 1.5 mm.

Due to the fact that in the macular zone there is a large amount of a special pigment, the color of which is yellow, during ophthalmoscopy this area is colored yellow. In this regard, the macula received its second name. The main pigments contained in the macula are lutein and zeaxanthin. The human body is not able to synthesize these substances on its own; therefore, all pigment reserves come from outside (with food, drugs). Green, orange and yellow foods contain a lot of lutein and zeaxanthin. The main role of pigments is to protect the photoreceptors of the retina from reactive oxygen species and other free radicals. The latter are formed as a result of oxidative reactions and negatively affect nerve cells and the eyeball.

Interestingly, there are no blood vessels in the macula area, so nutrition comes from the adjacent choroid (choroid).

What will you need?

We perform Asian makeup on a girl with European appearance. Before we begin solving the problem of how to draw Asian eyes, let’s prepare suitable cosmetics and a set of brushes and sponges.

Materials that will be useful: foundation, always with a yellow undertone, light powder, concealer with reflective particles, a palette of shadows in natural shades in beige-brown tones, taupe bronzer, black liner or gel eyeliner, black mascara, soft pink or beige pencil, lipstick.

The Man with the Eyes of a Wolf

The eyes are elongated with a large iris, usually light-colored, with downward-pointing outer corners and red-veined whites. Such people have a hard and cold look, their pupils are blue. People with such eyes are endowed with a cruel character, lust for power, exorbitant pride, they are vengeful and often unfair. But thanks to assertiveness and the ability to move forward without hesitation, they reach high positions. By nature they are quick-tempered and do not know how to control themselves. Not too smart. Often, due to their character, they find themselves victims of violence. But they themselves often turn out to be gang leaders and killers.

The type adjacent here corresponds to the wolf's eye in an inverted position. Such eyes indicate an unprincipled and shameless personality, conspiratorial by nature, capable of violence and cruelty. Such individuals are often potential murderers. According to ancient Chinese texts, if a straightforward and honest person has such eyes, it means that he will be a victim of violence, not a perpetrator.

These two types of eyes must be carefully examined together with other facial features of the subject before a general conclusion can be drawn. When identifying the “eye with three-sided white” type, the physiognomist should examine the subject’s eyes at the level of his own eyes to avoid possible error.

Lemon water cubes

Lemon around the eyes in the form of frozen ice cubes will be useful for those who constantly sleep little, work almost around the clock, dream of rest, vacation, just to lie in bed. In such situations, the face takes on an exhausted appearance, mainly due to dark circles under the eyes. The site podglazami.ru understands that simply advising: “rest more and get enough sleep” is like not advising anything. So let's recommend something.

For example, try the so-called citrus cryotherapy. Prepare water with lemon in the proportions of 1 glass of still mineral water, ½ glass of fresh lemon juice, pour into molds, and place in the freezer. Wipe your face every morning.

Lemon will save you from dark circles and dark circles under your eyes!

What sizes are there?

Based on this feature, people’s eyes are usually divided into large and small. Often the shape of the eyes does not depend on their size. Large eyes are considered ideal for both men and women. However, both forms have their own charm and merits. As for psychology, experts believe that usually people with large eyes are prone to excessive sensitivity and emotionality. They are distinguished by a fine mental organization and often have a creative beginning. But even here there are some reservations, for example, eyes can only appear large due to small facial features; such people are distinguished by rigidity in character, which can even go beyond the bounds and turn into cruelty.

But the owners of small eyes are distinguished by purposefulness, self-sufficiency, stubbornness and perseverance, firmness of character

How to determine your eye type? To do this, you should pay attention not only to the shape, but also to the distance between the eyes

Nuances of choosing cosmetics

When thinking about performing Asian makeup, be sure to take into account the key distinguishing features between representatives of two races - Asians and Europeans.

Asian skin never has a pink undertone. Accordingly, choose foundations and corrective products with a pronounced yellow pigment.
By analogy with foundation, we exclude the warmest shades of blush - pink and coral, giving preference to classic beige or caramel color.
No halftones in cosmetics for eyelashes and eyebrows - only uncompromising black.
Due to the specificity of the century, bright colors of shadows are mostly not used; the dominant palette is all gamuts that echo the color and tone of the skin. Gold and silver shades are used for accents.
The only thing that has no color restrictions is lipstick! It can be anything - from fatal red to cold but delicate pink.

Below are the most common optical problems

Myopia - the eye cannot focus on distant objects. The cornea may be excessively curved.

Farsightedness—the eye cannot focus on nearby objects. The cornea may be too flat.

Astigmatism - objects both near and far appear blurry. The surface of the cornea is unevenly curved.

In order for vision to be sharp and clear, the eyes must focus almost parallel rays of light into one beam, converging on the retina deep in the eyes. If the light rays do not converge in the right place, we get a blurry image.

No matter how good your vision is currently, over time the lenses in your eyes become cloudy and the muscles responsible for focusing weaken. As a result, presbyopia (senile farsightedness) develops. Such an intimidating name indicates that you will soon have problems focusing your gaze on nearby objects.

In fact, the changes that underlie presbyopia begin to occur quite early. Small children focus their eyes on objects that are very close to their eyes, but adults need to step back to get a good look at the same object.

To truly protect your eyes, you need to stop worrying about poor lighting on your desk and start being aware of the light. Over time, the sun's relentless UV rays, especially harsh on hot summer days, can contribute to the development of serious eye diseases: cataracts (associated with clouding of the lens) and macular degeneration (impaired retinal function, causing blurred vision and blindness). The best protection against such problems is to wear sunglasses.

Contraindications to Asian blepharoplasty

The list of diseases for which eastern eyelid surgery cannot be performed is quite standard:

diseases of the endocrine system: diabetes mellitus,
autoimmune diseases,
infection in the body
period of menstruation in women,
pathologies of the circulatory system, heart and blood vessels,
bleeding disorders,
oncological neoplasms,
dry eye syndrome.

In addition, if the lower eyelid shows obvious swelling and excessive bags, it is worth postponing the operation until the causes of this phenomenon are finally clarified.
