I think having a long defined medial canthus is a nice halo in pictures but irl I don’t even really notice people’s medial canthus that much mainly only their overall eye shape/spacing. Can you still have a top tier eye area with a mid medial canthus?

has some minor impact on the tilt of your eyes, mine would be neutral rather than positively tilted if I didn't have a downturned canthus.

it's one of those things that impacts shape even though you can't really tell why.

Bc people still say my eye shape is good despite my medial canthus being shorter/more rounded

I always loved Ian’s eye area idk why
because he has higher arched eyebrows which makes his eye area seem less intimidating.

+ dark dense lashes.

Dmc is a rare trait

Is that a good thing? Or does it just depend on facial harmony

I have similar eyebrow shape to ian
 
I have a long medial canthus thats why my eye area looks slightly better but otherwise its normie tier tbh

.org would argue it's bad, I argue it's good in most cases because most men their faces by default lean towards masculine and this is one of those features that does a really good job at balancing out facial characteristics.

as striking as low set eyebrows might look on photos, it makes you look extremely unapproachable.

looks good even though they're on the border of being negatively tilted.

arch creates the illusion that they're not as negatively tilted as they are.

your eyes are fine your face just leans too heavily towards masculine and you don't look very approachable as a result, you already knew this.

it's fine if you're NT, but neither of us is, so ideally we want to be perceived as friendly so other people go out of their way to interact with us rather than the other way around.
So my eyebrows are negatively titled?
they're positively tilted.

poor ms paint illustration but arches create the illusion that they're not as tilted as they actually are, your eyes would look far droopier if you had straight brows so you're actually lucky they're not straight.

Should I open my eyes more to look more feminine instead of squinting

Someone told me that my nct comes from a droopy lower eyelid on the outer part of my eye and lower eyelid retraction surgery would fix it and give me neutral tilt and I do not need canthoplasty is this true?

it's not caused by that, the corner of your eye is clearly visible.

there isn't a problem you don't need a solution, your eyebrows balance is out to some extend which prevents it from looking worse.
Well imagining I had the resources and the desire to actually fix my nct what surgeries would solve it?

I'm also asking this to just have more an understanding on the eyes

you could do canthoplasty to create the illusion that they're neutrally tilted by targeting the outer part but the risk to reward ratio is not there since there's no actual problem.

This is me pushing up the lower eyelid.
 
Looks shit; medial canthus is too prominent, your LATERAL canthus is far more important.
I have this failo; a slightly downswung medial canthus, but it’s wide and prominent; ideally, you have a very vertically short, yet very downswung, medial canthus, with perfectly developed supraorbitals that are well supported by infras that give your lateral canthus an additional few mm; it is the secret ingredient to any eye area. It means you can pull off any hair style, eclipses shitty lower thirds etc.
