You might not have as close set eyes as you think (for ESRcels)

I want to share something that I've thought about regarding the appearance of eye spacing. If you have learned about various facial measurements you have probably stumbled upon the eye seperation ratio (ESR) which is defined as the IPD divided by the bizygomatic width. The ESR is a true black pill, because it's very important, and heavily contingent on how close your eyeballs are set together. This is pretty much impossible to change, even with surgery.

I've seen the ideal range of 0.45-0.46 (or 0.44-0.47 being a more generous range I've also seen) being hailed as the totaling factor as to whether you have that appealing wideness to your gaze or if you look like a lesula. However, I'm not so sure if it is. I think that while the ESR perhaps lays the foundation for the appearance of proper eye spacing, there are other very crucial aspects that you need to get right. This means that you might THINK you have too close set eyeballs, but in reality they are actually fine. In reality and you have other, perhaps fixable issues.

Here's an edit (right) of a specific picture of Darren Till (left) that has been used to demonstrate how brutal the ESR is, but actually might show that the ESR is less important than often thought. Ostensibly, he looks scrunched on the left because of his wide cheekbones and close set eyes. But, we can change various things that don't impact the eyeballs nor bizygomatic width that, in my opinion, reduces that look.

Things I changed:

• Increased radix width (makes your eyes look less "collapsed" towards the center)
• Decreased canthal tilt (yes, I believe that a lot of people who appear to have close set eyes just have too much PCT, cookie king for instance looks a lot less close set if you reduce his PCT)
• Increased palebral fissure length (laterally, not medially. a lot of people with that close set look probably just have short width eyes rather than close set eyes)
• Reduced eye hollowing (hard to change in an edit like this, but this is crucially done laterally and medially)

I think that most of you will agree that his eyes don't look as close set now, and these were changes made without touching the ESR. So if think your eyes appear too close set, try changing these things with the liquify tool and see if it makes you look wider.

Did you read that important upper quote marked in red? Maybe I should've made it in bold and increased the font size, too?
