Downturned eyes anyone?

[carmen_kass]

so I never knew I had downturned eyes until one person mentioned it...so im wondering what is the best way to apply make up to them?

also, which celebs have dowturned eyes? just for a little inspiration?!

Hey, You must be quite pretty if this "person" felt bad enough about himself to point it out to you, just to hurt you. You didn't notice it before, so don't worry about it now, it's just a quirk in your face everyone has one, even top models sometimes have interesting features or asymetries. Just carry on as normal and don't fret over it. B)

Downturned eyes are adorable! For some reason, I've always found them to be more emotionally expressive ... no idea why though.

That girls sounds like a . People can be so rude sometimes, no? The thing about looks is there's no rule saying people with downturned eyes can't be pretty. There's no rule saying people with any specifc feature can't be attractive, it's the overall effect..

Anyway!

Another celebrity with downturned eyes is Shenae Grimes. And model Amanda Laine.

Here is something about applying makeup I coincidentally discovered today.. http://www.primped.com.au/tips_tricks/article/a_trick_for_downturned_eyes

Leighton Meester?

Are downturn eyes the same as bedroom eyes? Marilyn Monroe had bedroom eyes.

I don't see how it's a flaw either and I like the eyes of the person in the Garance dore picture.

 

[Rebel Yell]

oh wow, I've never even thought about 'downturned eyes' as something negative..it's like saying if one is 'tall' or 'short', or something..it's merely a unique characteristic, it doesn't really matter!! Both ways are attractive.. and I think winged eyeliner could definitely 'hide' it to those who are self-conscious of it anyway, nothing a little makeup can't conceal..

i always think of marilyn monroe when it comes to "downturned eyes"

 

[Milada]

Yep, good call on Marilyn Monroe. On some people it's hard to tell. I might have them, but I'm not sure. I also definitely agree that it gives a wise, elegant look to the face. The eyes project more.

 

[madchenlieben]

Yeah, Camilla Belle has downturned eyes

3 pages later and I'm still confused as to what downturned eyes are. Is it just that the outer eyes are angled lower? (hard to describe haha)
I came into this thread thinking about Audrina Patridge !

 

[madchenlieben]

^yea, their outer side is turned down

 

[Hemmy]

Cintia Dicker

and i think down turned eyes are much more expressive and innocent looking

 

[strawberry daiquiri]

Catherine Keener does, too. I always remember an interview with director Rebecca Miller when The Ballad of Jack and Rose was released, where the interviewer commented on the coincidence of Camilla and Catherine both having down-turned eyes.

I have downturned eyes. And not only are they downturned, but they're also sleepy/lazy looking. I hated them after people started to comment on them, but I trying to accept and love them now. Looking at Marilyn monroe tends to help.

 

[bebe_tc]

Me too I used to hated them but now I really like them specially because we look different

if it isn't a flaw, then why all the tutorials on how to aply make up on down turned eyes always tells you to lift them?

 

[lafindesiecle]

if it isn't a flaw, then why all the tutorials on how to aply make up on down turned eyes always tells you to lift them?

because magazines and the media and the entire beauty industry make their money largely by capitalizing on any insecurities we may feel about our physical appearances (while also reminding us that it's embarrassing to be insecure and we should love ourselves as we are, or we're not good women) and thus their nature is to assume we are 'insecure' about our 'flaws' and remind us that we 'need' their products.

not that i don't buy magazines or makeup or try to fix my flaws or anything at all, because please, i buy so much makeup it's pathetic, obviously. just always something to keep in mind when someone else, or a beauty tutorial, or a magazine, or anything at all points out and makes you feel badly about a feature that you had never previously thought was a flaw. if you like something about yourself, nobody can ever tell you it's not okay.

i spent the first 12 years of my life not caring about my nose, then the next 6 feeling badly about it and fantasizing about a nose job after (i distinctly remember) reading a beauty tutorial on how to 'make your nose as cute as nicole kidman's' and 'straighten out any unsightly bumps', and feeling badly because the bridge of my nose was very deep and there was a small bump towards the end. then i moved to the czech republic and every other woman on the street had a nose like mine and people thought i was a.) czech or polish and b.) very attractive and i realised i just look eastern european as all hell (uh, becuase i AM) and i'll take my nose bump along with my long legs and cheekbones, thank you very much. i love my nose now, and i love that i 'look polish.' to hell with nicole kidman's nose.

beauty tutorials (and the 'perfection' they teach us to aspire to) aren't the be-all end-all of beauty, and i think everyone should always keep that in mind.
