1) A very ...Depend what you mean by double eyelid.<br /><br />1) A very pronounced "western" double eyelid like this: <br />http://www.indianmakeuptips.com/wp-content/uploads/eye-shadow1.jpg (natural)<br /><br />another example (plastic surgery): http://cbingoimage.naver.com/data/bingo_75/imgbingo_90/jijimansey2/37364/jijimansey2_167.jpg <br /><br />2)A mostly smooth eyelid with slight double eyelid at very bottom looks really nice like this: <br />http://akb48journal.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/o0480080010237681553.jpg<br /><br />heres another example: http://static.minitokyo.net/downloads/25/10/498025.jpg <br /><br /><br />example 1) a very pronounced high up double eyelid fold <br /><br />My sister SADLY got double eyelid surgery, and her eyelid now looks just looks exactly like ryo nishikido picture i got above.... It is very noticeable... doesn't look very cute or youthful.. actually I find it gross and funny looking. Having a fold so high up on your eyelid like this also makes the round contour of your eyeball very noticeable through your eyelid which make you look like grandma. So just a warning if you go under the knife your eyelid will look like this too.... >_<;;;<br />(sorry if i offend anyone its my opinion)<br /><br />Example 2) having predominantly smooth upper lid looks very cute and youthful ... that's all there is to it... if you want a slight double eyelid to make your eye look a little bigger than just use the eyelid tape. The 2nd picture I have under example 2) that girl sometime doesn't have very noticeable double eyelid, and sometime she does, so I suspect she uses/has used the tape before.... she looks cute to me either way.<br /><br />BTW I 'm a guy so what I find cute for a girl may be different from what you guys find as cute...Textjohnnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5307857512839174402.post-77216453632578264042011-09-13T00:42:14.838+02:002011-09-13T00:42:14.838+02:00I think monolids are really special and pretty!
I&...I think monolids are really special and pretty!<br />I'm black and have double/parallel eyelids (this is actually not a given, there's an African ethnic group who have monolids they're called Khoe-San) but my eyes are kind of almond shaped and I've always done my make up to emphasize that shape (make it longer horizontally/narrower vertically because it looks pretty that way). I have no problem with my race but if there were some type of temporary product equivalent to eyelid glue/tape that could create the illusion of monolids I would probably buy it! It's just a really pretty shape to me.<br /><br />It's extremely upsetting to me that this specific type of eye really gets ridiculed and picked on. And people defend it by saying big eyes are attractive because of our biology - they say big eyes signify health so no one can help it that everyone is pressured to have double eyelids. But that just isn't true! It can't be because then what do the Khoe-Sans do - just not procreate 'cause they're "biologically" ugly? And didn't the Four Great Beauties of Chinese history have monolids and round faces? So it's not some natural inclination towards "healthy" looking people, it's racism and the modern media's influence that make double lids more popular. I bet no one would be complaining about make up difficulty if double lids weren't the standard... People with monolids would just be doing make up without concern about making their eyes look bigger.<br />Ahh that was a long rant sorry.. =/ Beauty standard discussions always get me babbling passionately especially when theres a racial aspect...Guestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5307857512839174402.post-53225892859898774802011-06-19T19:19:51.269+02:002011-06-19T19:19:51.269+02:00@mickii, it puffs a little in the morning is proba...@mickii, it puffs a little in the morning is probably because you drank water before you slept??? <br /><br />Anyways, i have monolids and i still have that problem that the eyeliner/eyeshadow will smudge and get into the crease =.=" and i need to put a big black line, so that it's visible xDElisa ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/14923473677949410530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5307857512839174402.post-43577029295523038732011-06-19T18:39:48.421+02:002011-06-19T18:39:48.421+02:00Monolids are gorgeous....really double lids are so...Monolids are gorgeous....really double lids are so overrated..

Sometimes if I drink too much water before bed or sleep for too long my eyes lose their elasticity and become monolid. I don't think monolid or double lid looks better one way or the other. You are you -and you look just the way you are :) Though I agree that monolid is a pain to work with, that's why sometimes I glue my eyes before putting makeup on. With the right tool and stuff its still much easier to apply makeup then to put eye makeup to fit one mono and the other double eyelid lol. <br /><br />If you want double lid I have heard the best way is to apply stickers. It's way more permanent than using glue. I just don't have that patience to put it on every night :P <br /><br />It's an interesting topic but tbh, Elisa, you look beautiful the way you are!

(those are sooo beautiful!)<br /><br />Ik wist eerst niet eens dat er verschil was in dubble of eenzijdig lijn. Untill it became an popular issue among Asian girls. <br />Ik vind dat je nog steeds hetzelfde uitziet ook al heb je een double-eyelid surgery gehad, je hebt alleen een extra streep op je ooglid. <br /><br />And! Some Dutch guys or even other Western looking people have small aswell even they are double lid! Bijvoorbeeld Finn van tv-serie Glee, hij heeft echt van die schattige (almost Asian) eyes :'D<br /><br />Anyway you are beautifullll xxx~ice pandorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296047828005288066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5307857512839174402.post-2229276081240218662011-02-19T09:59:12.624+01:002011-02-19T09:59:12.624+01:00I used to have monolids when I was a kid, but nao ...I used to have monolids when I was a kid, but nao I have hidden double eyelids, lol. <br /><br />I used double eyelid glue, but it feels weird and after a while your eyes get more saggy (= more monolid). I think both are pretty and if youre going to get double eyelid surgery, your eyes will sag after a while too. It's just a waste of time and money. -_-<br /><br />I get the idea asn society thinks that<br />monolids = traditional beauty<br />double eyelids = modern beauty<br />and it's all thanks to the models in the fashion magazines that teenagers in asia (japan/china/korea mainly) have become so deluded about beauty and they forget that most of the 'models' have undergone major surgery.Oneiro https://www.blogger.com/profile/00809064066236639570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5307857512839174402.post-54509424229269966822011-02-19T01:23:31.088+01:002011-02-19T01:23:31.088+01:00For a long time, I had no idea how coveted double ...For a long time, I had no idea how coveted double eyelids were.

I get the feeling that society ...Interesting post!<br /><br />I get the feeling that society (myself included) feel more attracted to people with eyelids. Maybe because it's promoted in the media. Even in China they seem to put white girls with eyelids on packages and advertisements. I know some acquaintances who did a operation to get eyelids and during my internship in China I noticed it is a trend in China to get eyelids for quite some time now. I almost believe that there should be some scientific explanation why I and other people feel more attracted to people with eyelids.<br /><br />Because eyelids are physical, it's the first information my mind gets to process, make judgements and translate it into: I feel more attracted to people with eyelids (maybe some deep unconscious biology>mating criteria stuff). However, once I get to notice a charming smile and attitude it would not even matter if you have monolids or one eye or no legs. <br /><br />Ok, I totally got carried away. Heavy stuff.<br /><br />Inner game is what i'm trying to say ;)Dillon Tjinhttp://www.dillon89.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5307857512839174402.post-85105155769748279132011-02-18T22:08:17.330+01:002011-02-18T22:08:17.330+01:00All eyelids are pretty!
