Eye aesthetics are evaluated by Interpupillary Distance (IPD), intercanthal spacing (the rule of fifths), and canthal tilt angle. Positive canthal tilt and proportional eye spacing are among the most magnetic facial traits.

Anthropometric note: In classical craniofacial plastic surgery, deviations from statistical medians are celebrated as defining signatures. True beauty is synthesized through overall compositional harmony rather than single-metric uniformity.
In facial aesthetics, the intercanthal distance (distance between the inner eye corners) is classically compared to the width of a single eye. Under the horizontal fifths canon, the ideal intercanthal space is exactly 1.0 eye width or 1.0 IPD unit.
Canthal tilt refers to the angle formed by a line drawn from the medial canthus (inner corner) to the lateral canthus (outer corner). A positive canthal tilt (outer corner 2° to 5° higher than inner corner) creates an alert, youthful, and feline aesthetic appearance.
Studies published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery demonstrate that a positive canthal tilt is universally rated as attractive across both male and female faces, while negative tilt (downturned outer corners) often conveys fatigue or premature aging.
Real facial profiles exhibiting distinct expressions of this feature
For close-set eyes, highlight inner corners and wing outer edges. For wide-set eyes, apply deeper tones toward the inner bridge.
Plucking slightly wider apart opens up close-set eyes, while filling brows closer together visually narrows wide-set eyes.
A dark, heavy bridge draws eyes inward, whereas a clear or thin metal keyhole bridge preserves natural openness.
