+8 SD: 9.5 as 100th percentile (1/1,501,199,875,790,165) Exact Mid Adamlite
MY THOUGHTS
I made this bell curve with the intention to give a realistic distribution of looks with the average being MLTN-HLTN, slightly leaning to HLTN. I feel like it's quite accurate (in my opinion as there is no real way to know) up to the +3 SD mark, then it goes off the rails and starts giving absurd numbers that are obviously just untrue JFL. To be honest, there is no real way of finding the rarity of each numerical rating, but I feel like the bell curve is a good start if anybody else wants to try quantifying facial rarity. We would need a sample of hundreds of thousands to even millions and a very accurate rating system to actually quantify the rarity of a face, but far too many people still think HTN is like top 10% or some bullshit.

Blackpill: Hypergamy is Biologically Beneficial
View attachment 350356
I’m sure everybody has seen this graph many, many times. It’s true. It’s just how women are biologically. “But saar! That’s so unfair! Why is muh looksmatch going for Chad and not me?!” It’s because hypergamy is biologically beneficial for the human race.
The whole point of our existence (BIOLOGICALLY) is to reproduce and make successful offspring. Genetics are obviously the largest factor in this, so why choose 5’9 LTN who’s your looksmatch instead of 6’4 Chad who’ll fuck anything with legs? The answer is that you don’t fucking choose the LTN. You choose Chad.
But there’s more to this than “Who’s better genetically?”
As a man, think about how much effort you put into raising a fetus. Make some money, provide for your woman right? Completely optional. Obviously I’m not saying it should be how YOU should handle having a baby, but there are many men who just don’t care at all and just leave. You also get to have children with as many women as you want (if they find you attractive) within any amount of time you want. You can go impregnating two women within a few hours if you so wished.
Now if imagine being a woman (or if you’re a woman in the first place). Think about how much effort YOU have to put into raising a child. Nine months of pure misery; watching everything you eat, suffering through pregnancy pains, having to carry another human in your womb. You lose SO MUCH MORE having a child compared to a man. You can’t even have more children during the time being. There’s even a chance you do all this just for a miscarriage.
So, if you were a woman, would you rather fuck an LTN and have to suffer through all that pregnancy to give birth to a recessed ugly fuck that won’t amount to shit or choose Chad? Oh and to mention that there’s a chance that man leaves and stops providing for you too. Biology says pick fucking Chad because your child will be so much more successful and the whole point of life (biologically) is to produce thriving offspring.
Over time and on a large scale, hypergamy will ensure the future generations mogs. Survival of the fittest.
Now that’s not to say you can’t get women as an LTN. Nuances are very real and it would be very easy if you were simply just neurotypical. But oh well you can’t change that. A lot of us actually are neurodivergent so it may just be over for those ones.
Tldr; Chad is better than LTN genetically, so women choose Chad to fulfill their biological purpose (having successful offspring)

Context
The eye height to skull height ratio is a heavily underrated ratio that heavily determines dimorphism, yet nobody talks about it. I first discovered it on Chronic x M's YouTube channel, but he deleted all his content, which is unfortunate because he was one of the best creators making analysis content. I'm making this thread to bring attention to it, although I don't use it in my harmony analyses. It's more a factor of dimorphism than harmony in my opinion.
The Measurement
It's measured by dividing the space from the chin to the space between the eyes (typically the nasion) by the space from the chin to the cranial top.
A measurement above 0.5 is masculine. Below 0.5 is feminine. Exactly 0.5 is androgynous.
This may be due to the fact that a higher eye height could indicate a taller jaw and a smaller forehead, which are masculine traits. It could also mean a higher TFWHR (total face width-to-height ratio) and longer midface ratio, which are also seen as masculine as men generally tend to have taller skulls than women. Vice versa for women.
This formatting fucking sucks
@giga.mia @foidslayer @Penalizer69 @iqmaxx @kys @emeraldpill @Dandelions
@Byro tell me you know more than me again stupid n****r i know way more about ts than you
Key
h = Harmony, d = Dimorphism, a = Angularity, m = Miscellaneous features
p1 = Highest pillar, p2 = Lowest pillarThe 4 Pillars of Attractiveness:
1. Harmony (undisputed)
2. Dimorphism (interchangeable with 3, 4)
3. Angularity (interchangeable with 2, 4)
4. Miscellaneous (interchangeable with 2, 3)
Depending on the formula, this is how the pillars may be ranked by importance. You give each of them a score out of 10 and multiply them by a decimal to get a full scale score on a face.
Personally I do:
View attachment 3580261. Harmony
In short, facial harmony is how balanced and proportionate your face is. It uses ratios and math to measure how each feature on your face interacts with other features.
There are many ratios depending on what formula you use as it could up to as high as 40 or more purely off the front profile. Every ratio has a different level of importance.
There are two profiles measured for harmony; front profile and side profile. The frontal profile should always be more important than the side profile no matter the formula. Personally, I weigh frontal harmony as 66.7% of your total harmony and side harmony as 33.3%.
Important ratios include:
ESR, FWHR, Facial Thirds, Canthal Tilt, TFWHR Midface Ratio, Bigonial-Bizygo, etc.
Here's CA's old formula. It's outdated and will probably give you an inflated score, but it serves a little use nonetheless. I'd subtract 10% off the final score personally. Anyways, you just add up all your values depending on what value is assigned to that tier and ratio, then divide it by either 2.625 for the frontal or 1.365 for the side.
2. Dimorphism
Facial dimorphism is basically just how masculine or feminine your face looks based off your gender. It is largely affected by your harmony and angularity with even miscellaneous features playing a role as well. Most of it is determined by your bone structure though.
This is the pillar that differs most between genders (obviously) and contributes most to your archetype.
"1" Arrow = 5 Dimorphism for gender
"2" Arrow = 7.5 Dimorphism for gender
"3" Arrow = 10 Dimorphism for gender
Middle figure = 2.5 Dimorphism for either gender
View attachment 358046
Important dimorphism markers include:
Ratios include Bigonial-Bizygo, Brow Height, Mouth-Nose, Facial Thirds, TFWHR, etc.
Other markers include Chin Squareness, Eye Shape, Nose Tip, Gonion Flare, etc.3. Angularity
Facial angularity is based on three main factors; leanness, bone protrusion, and facial contours. In short, it describes how sharp your face is.
It plays a large role in dimorphism because men and women are healthiest at different body fat percentages. Men are healthier between 10%-15% body fat while women are healthier between 18%-21% body fat. Body fat percentage is obviously a huge deal in angularity.
Examples of 8+ Angularity Faces:
View attachment 358071
View attachment 358060
Important angularity markers include:
Buccal Fat, Submental Fat, Eye Angularity, Nose Contour, etc.4. Miscellaneous Features
Miscellaneous features, the 2nd most complex pillar, includes many different markers. It consists of your health indicators and basically describes how healthy your face looks.
It’s probably the easiest pillar to change aside from angularity, although it depends.
Again, I will provide CA's misc formula even though it's very outdated and doesn't serve much of a use.
View attachment 358072
Important miscellaneous features include:
Skin Quality, Hair Quality (Eyebrows and Eyelashes included), Upper Eyelid Exposure, Contrast, Under Eye Quality, etc.Looks Penalty
This may be a new thing to many of you guys as it is not commonly used by traditional analysts. I believe it was an idea first originating off of an .org thread although I don’t remember which.
It is a penalty imposed for differences between pillar scores. You take the lowest pillar score, subtract it from the highest pillar score, then it's here's the more complicated part; you can either design your own equation to make it fair across each penalty (which is what I did) or you can simply divide it by a number you'd like (commonly 2 or 4). You then take this number and subtract it from the overall score.
Formula using 1/4th penalty:
View attachment 358025
For Example: Harmony - 7, Dimo - 6, Angularity - 3, Misc - 6
Traditionally, this would be a 5.68, but using a 1/4th looks penalty, this would be a 4.68.
Personally, I find this equation the most fair.
View attachment 358021
90% of you n*****s won't understand this
I didn't write well and it's quite complex
I'd recommend reading this (the Harmony portion of my thread The 4 Pillars of Attractiveness (Revised) beforehand:
1. Harmony
In short, facial harmony is how balanced and proportionate your face is. It uses ratios and math to measure how each feature on your face interacts with other features.
There are many ratios depending on what formula you use as it could up to as high as 40 or more purely off the front profile. Every ratio has a different level of importance.
There are two profiles measured for harmony; front profile and side profile. The frontal profile should always be more important than the side profile no matter the formula. Personally, I weigh frontal harmony as 66.7% of your total harmony and side harmony as 33.3%.
Important ratios include:
ESR, FWHR, Facial Thirds, Canthal Tilt, TFWHR Midface Ratio, Bigonial-Bizygo, etc.
Here's CA's old formula. It's outdated and will probably give you an inflated score, but it serves a little use nonetheless. I'd subtract 10% off the final score personally. Anyways, you just add up all your values depending on what value is assigned to that tier and ratio, then divide it by either 2.625 for the frontal or 1.365 for the side.
In harmony, we usually score ratios based off a tier system. It's simple and convenient.
For example:
View attachment 358925
However, in recent times, raters like FaceIQ have used Super-Gaussian bell curves that score your ratios out of 10 based on a decay system.
But how do you do this?
THROUGH THIS FUCKING RETARDED ASS FORMULA THAT TOOK ME WAY TOO FUCKING LONG TO FIGURE OUT!!!
View attachment 358924
a = Plateau Height (I like to use 10, so that you get a value out of 10 based off your measurement)
p = Center Position
w = Plateau Half-Width (the distance from the center (p) to the edge where the flat top ends and the curve begins)
d = Decay Spread (Standard Deviation of the Tails)
x = Your Measurement of Your Specific Ratio
Basically, you set this up, then you put x equal whatever your measurement is (say if you're measuring ESR, you'd put your ESR measurement here).
Then, you should get a score out of the plateau height value (I usually put 10, so I'd get a value out of 10).
Here's an example I used for ESR (Eye Separation Ratio) with an ideal of between 45.6-47.7
View attachment 358926
Let's say your ESR is 42.77422 here, it would get 5/10
But there's still an issue even with this Super-Gaussian curve; there were negative points in the tier system, so how do we replicate this with the new system?
ANOTHER FUCK ASS FORMULA n*****s
View attachment 358930
g = Max Points (on the specific ratio in your formula (check example for better understanding))
v = Value on Curve (earlier, in the ESR example, a 42.77422 gets 5/10, the 5 would be used here)
a = Plateau Height (previously mentioned)
Here's an example of a formula where ESR's maximum value is +20.
View attachment 358942
If you got 5/10 on the Super-Gaussian after inputting your measurement (x) and your Plateau Height (a) as 10, you'd get 0 as your score to go towards your formula.
If you got 9/10 with the same conditions mentioned above, you'd get 16 as your score to go towards your formula. 3/10 would get -8 and 0/10 would get -20.
This shit was some of the most effort I've ever put into a thread. Just for 90% of you n*****s to not understand. Thank you for reading.

2. Important Anatomy/Terms
3. Important Ratios/Angles
4. The Ideal Eye Area
5. How to Max Out the Eye Area
- 5.1 Softmaxxing
- 5.2 Hardmaxxing
- 5.3 Everything Else
6. The Conclusion
- Introduction: The Importance of the Eye Area -
The eye area is the most important area of the face. It's obvious. Everybody knows this. But why? Why is it so important?
This is due to many biological and social factors. The eyes signal health, youth, and emotion. Striking eyes ("hunter eyes" as we call it) signal strength and biological superiority. Doe eyes signal youth, femineity and strong emotion. They're called the window to the soul for a reason.
Well, what do bulging, bug-like eyes and yellow or red sclera signal then? They signal bad health, aging, and tiredness. If this is you, this is why you should max out your eye area. These two holes with spheres inside them can determine your life quality and how your entire life plays out. You will be treated worse if your eyes are ugly and vice versa if you have attractive eyes. Now, some of you will only need a little softmaxxing and some of you will need to hardmax, but first, let's get into some important anatomical features of the eyes along with some important terms.
- Important Anatomy/Terms -
1.0 Orbital Rim (of the Bony Orbit): The bony edge surrounding the eye socket. It helps protect the eyeball and is the main structural frame of the eye area.
View attachment 360153
1.1 Supraorbital Rim - AKA the brow bone or the brow ridge. It strongly influences how masculine and striking the eye area looks. It's the upper part of the orbital rim.
View attachment 360154View attachment 360155
1.2 Infraorbital Rim - The lower part of the orbital rim. It supports the lower eyelid and under-eye region. Lack of this support causes under-eye hollowness AKA tear troughs or eye bags.
View attachment 360156
2.0 Eyelid Structure: Eyelids are folds of skin and muscle around the eye that affect scleral show and overall eye shape. They also protect the eyes by covering them.
2.1 Upper Eyelid - The eyelid on top that’s used when you blink. It affects hooding and how compact or open the eyes look.
2.2 Lower Eyelid - The eyelid on the bottom that affects scleral show. It heavily influences the perception of tiredness or youthfulness within the eye area.
View attachment 360158
3.0 Hair Around the Eye Area: This frames the upper face and heavily changes how the eyes are perceived. Eyebrows and eyelashes both affect contrast, expression and eye area emphasis.
3.1 Eyelashes - The short hairs around the eyelid margin. They protect the eye from debris, but their main aesthetic importance is how they help the eyes look fuller and more defined.
3.2 Eyebrows - The arches of hair above the eyes. They frame the eyes and affect how facial expression is perceived as they can be perceived as softer, harsher, or more youthful depending on the arch and thickness.
View attachment 360159
4.0 Eyeball Structure: The organ of vision inside your orbit. The visible parts of the eyeball play a crucial role in eye area aesthetics.
4.1 Sclera - The whites of your eye. Bright, white sclera is ideal and signals good health. Yellow or red sclera signals fatigue and bad health.
4.2 Iris - The colored circle of your eye around the pupil. It's one of the most noticeable parts of the eye region. Lighter eye colors are more attractive as they create more contrast.
4.3 Pupil - The black circle that makes the center of your iris. It slightly affects perceptive of youthfulness.
View attachment 360161
4.4 Limbal Ring - The very slim, dark ring around your iris. Few people have it, but it signals great health and creates a lot of contrast. It's a very polarizing, underrated feature of the eye area. You will typically only see this in some people with lighter eyes, but even then, it's very rare.
View attachment 360162
5.0 Miscellaneous Structures: Self-explanatory.
5.1 Medial Canthus - The inner corner of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet near the nasion. It's a striking feature and can also affect how close/far your eyes look.
5.2 Lateral Canthus - The outer corner of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet near the cheekbones.
View attachment 360165
5.3 Orbital Fat - The fat around your eyes. It affects how much upper eyelid exposure you have and how healthy your under-eyes look.
View attachment 360166
6.0 Other Bone Support Structures: Self-explanatory.
6.1 Zygoma (Cheekbones) - The zygoma heavily supports the eyeball from below with the it being part of the orbital rim. It also contributes greatly to ratios.
6.2 Maxilla (Upper Jaw) - The maxilla contributes structure to the lower eyelid. If your infraorbitals are recessed, it is likely also connected to some form of maxillary recession.
View attachment 360168
6.3 Ethmoid - The bone between your two orbits. It helps form the inner eye socket and the nose bridge. It also heavily affects eye spacing.
View attachment 360170
7.0 Structures Around the Root of the Nose: Critical bony and soft-tissue landmarks.
7.1 Nasion - The deepest part of the nasal bridge where the nasal bone and the frontal bone meet. It's the bony starting point of the nose.
7.2 Radix - The root of your nose. It heavily affects how deep-set your eyes look. It may commonly be used interchangeably with the nasion.
7.3 Glabella - The most prominent point of the forehead. It sits right the midline of your brows. It affects supraorbital projection.
View attachment 3602221. Interpupillary Distance (IPD) - The distance between your pupils. May be the first thing people notice when they see you and is incredibly important.
Mean IPD within adults is 62.7 ± 4.3 mm.
2. Intercanthal Distance (ICD) - The distance between your two medial canthi. Affects eye spacing.
3. Outer canthal Distance (OCD) - The distance between your two lateral canthi. Affects eye spacing.
View attachment 360171
Both ICD and OCD are heavily affected by ethnicity. Search up your ethnicity's average if you want an accurate number.
4. Upper Eyelid Exposure (UUE) - The exposure of the upper eyelid due to low orbital fat stores.
5. Hooding - Whenever orbital fat stores are plentiful, they hood the upper eyelid, causing hooding.
View attachment 360172
6. Scleral Show - The exposure of your sclera due to bad under-eye support.
View attachment 360173
7. Tear Troughs/Eyebags - The dark circles or hollowing under your eyes.
View attachment 360174
8. Palpebral Fissure Length (PFL) - The distance between your medial canthus and lateral canthus on the same eye.
This is heavily affected by ethnicity. Search up your ethnicity's average if you want an accurate number.
9. Palpebral Fissure Height (PFH) - The distance between your upper eyelid and lower eyelid on the same eye.
View attachment 360175
Note: If you couldn't tell, eye spacing is VERY important. If your eye spacing is off, it could signify or resemble congenital health anomalies like hypertelorism even if you don’t have such a thing. Even being remotely associated with such anomalies is horrible for your eye aesthetics.
- Important Ratios/Angles -
1. Eye Separation Ratio (ESR) - IPD divided by facial width.
2. One Eye Apart Test - ICD divided by the distance between the medial canthus and the end of the eyelid.
3. Brow Length to Face Width Ratio - Combined brow width divided by facial width.
4. Eyebrow Low Setedness - The distance from the upper eyelid to the lowest point of the eyebrow divided by PFH.
5. Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) - PFL divided by PFH.
6. OCD to Face Width Ratio - OCD divided by facial width.
7. PFL to Face Width Ratio - PFL divided by facial width.
8. Lateral Canthal Tilt - The angle of the lateral canthus relative to the medial canthus.
9. Eyebrow Tilt - The angle of the eyebrow's outer end relative to it's inner end.
10. Eye-Mouth-Eye Angle (EME) - The angle created by a vertex at the center of the mouth and arms going through the pupils.
11. Orbital Vector - How far the infraorbital is behind the most protrusive part of the eyeball from the side profile (using a line).
Use undistorted images in your own analysis for best results, but here are some examples of measurements
1. Eye Separation Ratio (ESR) 44.5% - 47.7%

Note: If you're geographically close to one of these races, but not quite exactly there; Use those ideals. Otherwise, use the Caucasian ideals. For example: If you're Southeast Asian, use East Asian ideals. If you're Latino, use Caucasian ideals.
- The Ideal Eye Area -
So, after learning all this, what makes the ideal eye area?
- Ideal ratios/angles
- Strong brow ridge
- Good under-eye support with no hollowness
- Strong orbital structure with zygoma/maxillary support
- Deep set within the skull
- No scleral show
- Minimal upper eyelid exposure
- Sharp, angular eye shape
- Thick, dark eyebrows that are groomed (not overgroomed)
- Bright, white sclera
- Long, dark eyelashes
- Light eye color
- Visible limbal ring
- Sharp, defined lateral and downward angled medial canthus
- No puffiness or bad health indicators
- Symmetry
I hit the file limit for images, so here are some named examples of top tier eye regions:
Sean O'Pry, Elias DePoot, David Gandy, Atesh Salih, Jorge Del Rio, Alfredo del la Cruz, Genio
Now, let's go over how you can get as close as possible to this ideal eye area.
- How to Max Out the Eye Area -
A lot of the information here will also be useful for general looksmaxxing.
1.1 The Basics
- 7-10 Hours of Sleep: You should be doing this anyways if you're looksmaxxing. It'll help with scleral brightness and the under-eye area.
- Diet: Focus on whole foods, fruits, and staying hydrated. Take a multivitamin, drink 16 cups of water a day. Good health = Good looks.
- Icing: You could ice your eyes every morning with a cold spoon or so to reduce inflammation.
1.2 Skincare
- Cleanser: Removes dirt, excess oil, sweat or any other pollutants from your skin. Use this before moisturizing.
- Moisturizer: It's in the name. It moisturizes your face and helps repair your skin barrier. Popular options include hyaluronic acid.
- SPF 50 Tinted Sunscreen: Helps mask dark under-eyes, eye bags, and tear troughs. You should be applying to your whole face anyways, but put some extra under your eyes. This should be applied last in your skincare routine. Preferably every 3-4 hours throughout the day.
- Tretinoin 0.025% to 0.1% /Tazarotene 0.025% to 0.1%: These are topical retinoids (derivatives of Vitamin A) that can help reduce hyperpigmentation, photo-aging, and treat acne. They do this through boosting collagen through cell turnover. This is especially useful for the under-eyes as it can help with dark spots. Tretinoin is a much milder retinoid as compared to Tazarotene which is much more potent. Although Tretinoin is weaker, they both carry risk of irritation. This means Tazarotene causes faster results, but has a higher risk of aforementioned irritation. You will 100% need to use sunscreen with these. They are commonly used in a sandwich method where you put on moisturizer, retinoid, then moisturizer again. Not mandatory, but definitely worth adding to your skincare routine if you want nice under-eyes.
- Hydroquinone 2% to 4%: A topical skin-lightening agent commonly paired with a topical retinoid (like mentioned above) to help with under-eye darkness. It treats hyperpigmentation through blocking the enzyme needed to produce melanin. It also has it's risk of irritation, so be cautious.
1.3 Eyebrows and Eyelashes
- Topical Minoxidil 5% to 10%: It is a vasodilator, which means it widens blood vessels to improve blood flow to the follicles, causing more hair growth. It's commonly used on the eyebrows to increase eyebrow density for a more thick, masculine look. Use Minoxidil with a derma-stamp anywhere from 0.5mm to 2mm to increase it's effectiveness. Minoxidil without a derma-stamp will be much less effective. Derma-stamp once or twice a week and apply Minoxidil on your eyebrows every morning and night. Only apply this to your eyebrows (or scalp) and do not get it any where near your eyes as it's vasodilating effects can easily cause eye issues. Wash it out immediately if it gets in your eye.
- Bimatoprost (Latisse) 0.03%: It works by extending the anagen (growth) phase of eyelash hair follicles, causing thicker and longer lashes. It's safe for the eyes unlike topical Minoxidil but it does have a risk of darkening your eye color if you don't have T50 eyes. It's biggest risk is the way it nukes orbital fat around the regions it's applied which is why you should apply something like Vaseline around the area above your eye near the upper eyelid and all around as a protective barrier. Only use 1 drop of Bimatoprost and get a swab to apply to the upper eyeline. It's recommended to not use it on the lower eyeline as it can cause the under-eye region to look tired through removing orbital fat there and darkening the skin. Using it more than once a day will not speed up results. Be careful.
- Topical Cyclosporine 0.05%: "Woah what's that?" is a question some of you might be thinking right now. It's a superior to both Minoxidil and Bimatoprost. In short, it induces the anagen (growth) phase and inhibits catagen (regression) phase of hair follicles. Press HERE for specifics. Thanks @depersonalized. He basically explains that it's superior to Minoxidil and Bimatoprost simply due to targeting hair growth in more pathways than them. It's biggest risk topically is ocular burning in 17% of users. Otherwise, it seems quite safe and should be applied like Bimatoprost with something similar to a swab. It can be applied to both the upper eyeline and the lower eyeline.
- Beard Dye (for Lashes and Brows duh): Dying your lashes and brows will greatly improve contrast and coloring. A rule of thumb is to pick a shade about one shade darker than your hair color. First, apply a thin layer of Vaseline or something similar around your eyes. Second, mix equal amounts of the color base and the color developer in the tray provided. Third, apply to your brows and lashes with a disposable spoolie (be careful to not get dye in your eyes). Then, leave it on for roughly 5-7 minutes. Lastly, wipe off all the dye with a damp towel/paper towel and clean the area with water and soap to get rid of lingering dye.
- Lash Lift: You can either get this done professionally or with a DIY kit at home. It chemically breaks and reforms the bonds in your eyelashes to create a semi-permanent curling effect for 6-8 weeks. If you're looking to do it at home, watch this video.
- Eyebrow Shaping: Get a pair of tweezers and plucky untidy hairs. This helps make your brows look cleaner and more refined. You could also get this done professionally, but it's very straight forward and easily done at home.
- Addressing "Hair Growth Oils": They're cope with the exception of rosemary oil, which is still not very effective compared to the other options here. Rosemary oil was found to be as effective as 2% Minoxidil. Castor oil has no clinical evidence for hair growth. They should merely be used to keep your hair healthy and luscious. Do not expect any significant hair growth from these oils advertised to grow your hair. They're still useful for hair health though.
1.4 Frauds
- Brimonidine Tartrate 0.025% (Lumify): My personal favorite fraud. Put 1-2 drops of it per eye and you're done. Your sclera will be bright white within a minute and it'll last for the rest of the day. It greatly enhances contrast and coloring within the eye area and can also be used to lighten the under-eyes. If you rub some on the under-eye, it will also take affect and make them lighter in color.
- Eye Contacts: Can greatly affect coloring and contrast in the eye area. It's probably the largest contributor to contrast here besides the eyebrows. Pick a color that suits your phenotype. I'd recommend going into Hypic > Retouch > Brush > Makeup and then experimenting by coloring in your eyes until you find a nice fit.
- BB Cream: A moisturizer, primer, sunscreen, and light foundation all at once (in most formulas). Put this in your under-eye area to mask hollowing and darkness.
- CC Cream: BB cream but with better color correction (CC). It's looks more matte and commonly includes ingredients like niacinamide used for skin lightening.
-Mascara: Thickens, darkens and lengthens eyelashes. Use clear mascara to be less obvious as a man. It's over if you get caught.
- Eyelash Curler: Use mascara to keep it in place for best results. As the name suggests, it curls your eyelashes upwards and can make you look more youthful. Could be used to improve how the lateral canthal tilt is perceived.
- Eyeliner: Used to contour around the eyes and can heavily affect the eye shape if applied correctly. Can also be used with a dark shade to draw around the medial canthus, making it look more laterally and downwardly projected. Be careful not to get caught. Could improve one eye apart test.
- Eyebrow Pen: Used to shape and darken the eyebrows. Go for a natural, yet cleaned look. Proper application of an eyebrow men can make your eye area look much sharper and more masculine. Could improve brow to face width ratio.
- Perma-Squinching: Unorthodox, but constantly squinching the eyes can make your eye shape look much sharper and more angular (improves EAR). Will take time to get used to. Do not squint though, just squinch. Squinting will make you look like an autist.
- Hair: Style your hair in a way that masks flaws like bad ESR or bad brow to face width. If your eyes look close-set, cover your cheekbones with your hair and if it looks wide-set, make sure to have your hair completely away to show as much cheekbone as possible. If your eyes are that bad, just cover the whole thing.
- Glasses: If your infraorbital recession, IPD, or any other eye spacing factors (a lot of other issues really) are super bad, put on some glasses and hope nobody notices.
- Facial Exercises: I have no idea if these work, but they couldn't harm you. You can research it because I think it's cope personally. Just putting it here to raise awareness.
- Addressing Volufiline: All of it's studies have been from it's publishers, so I can't recommend it for adipogenesis (fat cell development) benefits.
- Topical Rosiglitazone: I don't think it's on the market yet, but it seems to have great potential in actually giving you
