Eye tape, vanity, makeup and more

We recently posted some before and after photos of Korean plastic surgery.  Another beauty trend in Asia is eye tape or eye glue.  Essentially, many Asians have what is called a monolid.  Here's an example.

Some women choose to get plastic surgery to have the crease.  Many people mistake it for a wish to look more Caucasian or a desire to be more Westernized.  Although some women may desire this, others believe: that old age causes saggy eyelids, monolids make it harder to put on makeup (eyeliner disappears on my monolid), or somehow it just seems better aesthetically.  Other women may be going for what's called the "ullzang" look.  Ulzzang is basically a term to describe a kind of style that is mostly made up of freakishly large anime eyes, funky hairstyles, and cutesy poses and faces.  In addition to eye tape, some women also use circle lenses.  The retina is basically way larger then the normal size.
