Small Eyes

Proportionally smaller compared to the face. Read more about eye shapes. The size of a woman’s eyes plays a significant role in her perceived attractiveness, supported by extensive research in the fields of psychology and evolutionary biology. Larger eyes are often seen as attractive because they evoke youthfulness and neotenous features, which are evolutionary signals for health and fertility. These traits trigger innate preferences shaped by sexual selection, particularly in male mate choice, as larger eyes can subconsciously evoke protective instincts.
Studies have consistently shown that increasing eye size enhances facial attractiveness, while reducing it has the opposite effect. Wider, rounder eyes and a greater proportion of visible iris contribute positively to a woman’s beauty. Beyond physical appeal, larger eyes are also associated with positive social traits such as honesty, warmth, and competence, making them desirable on multiple levels.
However, attractiveness has limits. Research by Chen et al.on the “uncanny valley” effect reveals that excessively large eyes can elicit discomfort rather than attraction. While slightly larger eyes enhance beauty, disproportionately large eyes can appear unnatural, creating a sense of eeriness that detracts from overall appeal. This research underscores the importance of balance—there is an optimal range of eye size that maximizes attractiveness without crossing into uncanny territory.
In contrast, very small eyes may lack the youthful and expressive qualities that larger eyes convey, further reducing perceived attractiveness. Thus, while larger eyes are generally appealing, moderation is key. A normal eye size or one slightly above average strikes the perfect balance, maintaining natural beauty while amplifying features associated with attractiveness and positive social perception.

Choose a recommendation and track your weekly progress:

Tightlining: Apply eyeliner close to the upper waterline to make the lashes appear fuller and lift the eyes.

Winged Eyeliner: Extend the eyeliner slightly beyond the outer corners in an upward flick to create a lifted appearance.

White or Nude Eyeliner: Apply a white or nude eyeliner to the lower waterline to make the eyes appear larger and more open.

Light Shades on the Lid: Use light, shimmery eyeshadows on the eyelids to reflect light and create the illusion of more height.

Contour the Crease: Apply a medium to dark shade in the crease of the eyelid and blend upwards. This adds depth and dimension, making the eyes appear larger.

Highlighting: Use a light, shimmery eyeshadow or highlighter on the brow bone and the inner corners of the eyes to draw attention and create a lifting effect.

Lengthening Mascara: Apply mascara focusing on lengthening and lifting the lashes, especially the upper lashes.

False Eyelashes: Use false eyelashes that emphasize the center and outer parts of the eyes to create a more open and lifted look.

Well-groomed eyebrows with a subtle arch can enhance the overall appearance of the eyes and make them look larger. Consider using eyebrow pencils or gels to define and lift the brows.

Temporary Lifting: Eyelid tape or stickers can be applied to create a temporary crease or lift the eyelids, making the eyes appear larger and more open.

Choose glasses with a larger frame or an uplifted style to draw attention to the eyes and create a more open appearance.

Brow Lift: Small amounts of Botox can be injected into the muscles around the eyebrows to lift them slightly, creating a more open-eyed appearance.

Upper Blepharoplasty:

  • This procedure involves removing excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the upper eyelids. It can create a more defined crease and open up the eyes, making them appear larger and more alert.
  • It can be particularly effective for individuals with droopy upper eyelids or excess skin that makes the eyes appear smaller and narrower.


Lower Blepharoplasty:

  • This procedure addresses bags and sagging under the eyes, which can help in creating a more open and youthful appearance. While it primarily targets the lower eyelid, the overall effect can enhance the eye area, making the eyes look larger.

While not directly increasing the height of the eyes, eyelash transplantation can enhance the overall appearance of the eyes. Longer, thicker eyelashes can draw attention to the eyes and make them look larger.

Cautionary Note: It's important to note that each individual's skin is unique and may respond differently to various treatments. Always conduct a patch test when trying new products or ingredients, and consider consulting a dermatologist before beginning any advanced treatments.
