Many people are obsessed with the canthal tilt of their eyes but fail to note one of the most intriguing aspect of facial expressions, the positive tilt of eyebrows which typically consitutes a good eye area. The zygomatic arch is often underestimated in its role in facial expressions. I'd like to add that this connection between the zygomatic arch and the orbicularis oculi muscle is mainly responsible for the tilt of your eyebrows.
The zygomatic arch, a slender bridge of bone extending from the temporal bone to the cheekbone, provides structural support to the midface and lateral aspect of the skull. Its configuration influences the overall contours of the face, including the eyebrow region.
When looking at these two models, do you notice that his zygomatic arch is project upwards and to the side? This is responsible to giving a slight upward stretch to the tail of the eyebrow. Even a few millimeters of bone is enough to give a slight tilt, but acquiring mass in these areas is already difficult to do and is mostly influenced by your genes and chewing muscles.
Key:
Notice how when you slightly lift up your temples, you eyebrow tilt changes? If you want to actually stimulate that exact movement, you need an upward movement of and thickening of this zygomatic arch.
Intriguingly, the zygomatic arch's shape indirectly impacts the positioning and appearance of the eyebrows by influencing the surrounding soft tissues. The zygomatic arch's lateral projection affects the depth and prominence of the orbit (eye socket), which, in turn, influences the position of the eyebrows. A well-defined zygomatic arch can create a more defined, lifted appearance of the brow, giving the eyes a more open and alert look. Furthermore, the zygomatic arch's interaction with the underlying muscles and ligaments of the face can contribute to the dynamic nature of the eyebrows. The arch's contours affect the pull and tension of the muscles responsible for eyebrow movement. This can lead to variations in eyebrow shape and expression, adding to the overall burstiness of facial features.
TL;DR: High set zygomatic arch gives positively tilted eyebrows. Obviously, we can't forget the orbits, but those structures are also supported by these bones. And yes this will affect your canthal tilt significantly as well by getting the tail(the end) of your eye also upwards.
