Hunter eyes vs prey eyes - these are 💯 internet created archetypes. Interestingly, they help illustrate something that I talk about all the time with the male upper eyelid - related to brow positioning and the brow’s interaction with the upper lid positioning and shape. When I assess, I am looking at the brow three dimensionally, not as much the brow hairs, but instead the positioning and projection of the brow fat pad. I’m also looking at the upper eyelid tarsal show (think of the plate area where a woman would put her eyeshadow), or lack there of, that is very common and desirable in a male upper eyelid. Interestingly, this is often distorted (in my opinion destroyed) during male eyelid surgery with improper assessment approach - giving a man excessive tarsal show when he didn’t have it in the first place. This is a key distinction between the “hunter eyes“ and the “prey eyes.” Eyelid shape is key here as well, from assessing the canthal tilt, or the angle and positioning of the inside of the eye in relation to the outside portion of the eye, as well as ptosis (drooping) controlling the actual aperture of the upper eyelid and the symmetry between the two. Neither hunter eyes nor prey eyes are inherently better or more attractive - as you can see from the images of both of these universally attractive men. The key here is that there are anatomical differences inherent in each person’s genetics that need to be understood, paid attention to, and in my opinion preserved to maintain somebody’s natural essence and look. Anything else is transformative. That’s when people’s character changes and what they see in the mirror is not what they are used to - which carries some significant content cognitive dissonance. From an evolutionary psychology standpoint, these subtle differences in eye shape can create or portray different associations of personality and psychological traits. This is why we do not want to change these associations! Do these resonate for you? . .
