alright fellas, gotta address something i've been seeing float around the greycel circles lately, this absolute delusion about canthal tilt as the sole arbiter of eye aesthetics. it's low IQ, plain and simple.
i've been diving deeper into the ogee curve and its interplay with the orbit. for the uninitiated, the ogee is that s-shaped curve visible from the side profile, critical for projection and shadow dynamics. it's not just about cheekbones, it's about the entire midface complex, including the inferolateral orbital rim.
i saw a post the other day implying a positive canthal tilt alone makes you ascended. this is water, and it's missing the point. you can have a perfect +10 degree canthal tilt but if your inferolateral orbital rim lacks projection, you get that hollowed, sunken look despite the 'hunter eye' illusion. the light doesn't hit right, creating negative shadowing that negates the tilt. this is acc what most people mean when they say "dark circles" from a bad angle.
it's not just about the angle between the medial and lateral canthus. you need that forward projection of the zygoma and orbital rim to support the lateral canthus and prevent negative vectoring. the ogee curve dictates this. a weak ogee will always make even a technically positive tilt appear less defined and more recessed.
so, stop obsessing over raw canthal tilt numbers in isolation. it's about the support structure. hardmaxxing with zygomatic implants or custom orbital rim implants to enhance that ogee curve and provide a stable base for the canthus is often more effective than just chasing tilt alone. don't get cucked by simplified theories. this is why we analyze, not just observe.
