I have really deep-set eyes, just a very good eye area overall, and great maxillary projection. However, I recently realised that these two desirable traits are working against each other.
The deep-set eyes make it seem that they are smaller than they actually are, as they are further from the observer than the rest of my face.
Pair that with a maxilla that projects my jaw and mouth area closer to the observer.
The result is a sub-ideal midface ratio, because the eyes look smaller and closer set in comparison to the well-projected mouth and chin area.
If my eyes and lips were aligned on an even vertical plane, then I would have an ideal midface or perhaps slightly wide one at that, but I dont have a recessed maxilla or bug eyes that pop out of my skull.
Perhaps this is a widespread phenomenon, but it has yet to be properly discussed on the forum. There's a part of me that wishes that I had less deep-set eyes
Another point:
AFAIK the ICD should be the same as the width of the eyes, however, with deep-set eyes it is not possible to maintain that ratio without it destroying your midface.
Some examples portraying what I have in mind, in relation to deep-set eyes:
As displayed, in those with deep-set eyes, without a greater distance between each eye, the midface ratio crumbles. I unfortunately do not possess such a quality.
I've derailed from my initial rant, but it is worth sharing regardless.
