Some people have eyes that look rather different than most people's, with their whole upper eyelids (*) being very visible. Is there a term or an adjective for eyes like these?

(*) By "eyelid" I meant the part below the eyelid crease (Perhaps that's anatomically wrong)

In English, eyelids are said to be hooded or prominent. One or the other. Not both at the same time. The pictures show prominent eyelids.

Next up on my eye makeup series is makeup for prominent eyelids. This will also feature tips for deep set eyes. Those two types of eyes often go together, so I will address both in this blog.

I am often envious of these eyes, as I have hooded eyes and I have to contour the crap out of my eyes to give them dimension! Every eye shape has its own beauty and benefits, and every shape has its difficulties!
