Mongolian eyes


It has been a well known trend in Asia to change small Chinese/Mongolian eyes with single eyelids into 'deep set' eyes with double eyelids. The procedure of cutting a double eyelid or sticking small tapes on the eyelid just to create a double eyelid.
I recently saw a wonderful movie called Mongol. In Mongolia, small eyes are preferred as they believe evil spirits enter through your eyes. The less you see, the less evil enters. Simply wonderful. I have personally loved the sexy single eyelid of a chinese eye and I hope someday it will be ok to just keep things simple.
