eyelid tape
Eyelid tape is a slim, clear piece of tape that some Asian women stick over their eyelids to give them the appearance of a decreased epicanthic fold.
In other words, it is a cheap alternative to cosmetic surgery designed to give Asians a fuller, "double" eyelid, thereby making their eyes appear larger and less slanted.
In other words, to look less Asian.
In other words, to look more Western.
In other words, perceptions of beauty are fucked up.
