How does the skin on your eyebrows Hood your eyes?

How does the skin on your eyebrows Hood your eyes. Like why are Asians different in this regard? Are blacks hooding different? I have zero clue how this works do you guys know?

@OwlGod you seem knowledgeable about this stuff

I have it, it's the main reason I have semi-hooded eyes.
There's really nothing to it more than it's skin that sits on the very front of the browridge and folds over the top of your upper eyelids.

Do you think it's to protect your eyes? I know cheekbones are basically serve as a function to protect the eyes. But I was wondering why some people have lots of upper eyelid exposure and others don't. I am guessing it's a combination of the skin on the browridge and the orbit bones

Maybe from sweat, it does protect from that. But it doesn't do anything against blows to the face. It may fraud browridge growth tho.

blepharoplasty I think it's called I think I might get in the future but still not sure. I think am going to get my eyebrows reshape again and thinking about an eyebrow transplant to improve density

It's like extra skin with some fat = "hooded"

I think the skin on my browridge mainly contributes to my hooding. I would prefer to have less hooding though
