Don’t understand how someone can see this as anything but straight up scary.

reddit.comlooks like she's wearing someone else's skin with eyeholes cut out...

They look like she’s got mouths for eye sockets that are just holding the eyes in place. Especially looking at the second photo. Creepy.

Yes!!!

Her eyes look swollen 😬

Normally it’s less conspicuous is I guess what I was getting at. Even their under eye surgeries for that area are usually not so exaggerated let alone just using makeup. Then adding editing on top of that well 😂

In korea (maybe Japan too) they have a surgery for it.

Don't they call it something to do with silk worms?
3
It call aeygosal aka smiling eyes. It has been a popular trend in asia since the early 00s, most asian celebrities have these huge under eyes fat, giving them a youthful and nicer appearance. She is prob also wearing larger than usual circle lenses that's prob meant for cosplay.

“Caterpillar” (not necessarily “silk worm”) is what people call it to make fun of a case of overinjection under the eye.

As an American with a fold under my eye, I HATE it! I always got picked on for it, and I also have a ~1cm mole on the front and back of my neck that I was picked on for as well.

Same. We’re maligned for having bags under our eyes.
2
We were just born too early (I'm 41) and in the wrong part of the country I guess. :/ lol
1
Haha thanks for the perspective. I've put a cold spoon on my eyes everytime it looked like the fold under my eye looked too pronounced. I thought it just made me look tired and there are people who love it!

There are special photobooths in Japan called PuriKura that young girls enjoy using because it automatically makes them paler, skinnier, have bigger eyes, have smooth skin, taller, etc. Me and my friends tried it a few times and it was honestly fun and interesting to see how we would look according to Japan’s beauty standards and it’s honestly scary to think of people using these images as genuine representations of themselves because it definitely made us look more alien-like. I think this photobooth is what this lady has used in this post.

It used to be just normal pictures that you could decorate and have as stickers, but now its impossible to find one without the weird filters :(
18
Purikura booths have had the weird filter options since at least 2001 when I first moved there

Literally what all the girls do from my HS on Snapchat

So unnatural. Does anyone actually believe she looks like this?
50
So... this isn't her natural look?
Oh sorry I see it now. Really had me there for a second.
19
She looks like a Sim
17
It's weird. It is very normal to have profile pictures or upload stuff like that to social media but everyone knows it's purikura, it's not like people expect you to look like that in real life. It's hard to explain but it definitely is different from photoshop cause no one is trying to fool anyone by uploading something like that.

Poor girl. She stayed up for 10 days straight trying to photoshop her pics to perfection ….
You can tell from the eyebags under her eyes
👁 👁

Those aren’t eyebags, they’re sometimes known as “aegyo sal” which is the small pocket of fat right below the lower lashes. It appears commonly in east-asian people like myself, and is different than the eye bags caused by age or lack of sleep.

I really appreciate the information you’ve provided, but my comment was a joke. (Not to be taken seriously as it pertains to an image that’s clearly exaggerated via filter).
I’m South East Asian but raised in Japan, so I do know exactly what you are describing.
8
Ahh my bad haha

I don't get the huge undereyelid thing. It's not cute, it looks fucking horrifying. Like you have some kind of infection.
20
Really, I think it's cute but I'm asian and I tend to notice the eyes first. Her aeygosal prob isnt that large, it kinda done with makeup to give her that illusion of the puffiness. I guess it's just different of beauty aesthetic.
11
Must be a culture thing because I think it looks creepy
11
Probably, personally as a Southest Asian myself I find those charming and cute if not exaggerated like hers.
Every culture has their own aesthetics that looks 'creepy' to others but often time considered attractive among themselves. I personally think Westerners idea of beauty having huge boobs and thighs are not for me but after a while of sitting on this app I learn to appreciate the diversity. It's weird how now I find those attractive. Learning to love I guess.
9
Fair enough, I do find it cute when it’s more subtle I guess
1
I think the only thing that's creepy is she is wearing circle lenses that is 17.5-18mm as normal day to day contact lenses when standard for circle lenses is 15.5mm. So she is essentially wearing contact lenses that are meant to be cosplay to give you that anime eyes.

I have it naturally, because my ducts under my eyes are blocked and I hate it, I wish they would unblock soon, it permanently looks like I’ve been punched
1
It’s ridiculous to me
9
If this is attractive now I think I was born too early with my huge sleeping bags under my eyes that made me look tired and weird since I was 10. Or maybe just in the wrong part of the planet
9
Literally same.
3
I don't think she was doing it to look natural or anything. It's clearly a purikura. I don't understand why people are getting mad about it. Purikura are just a way to have fun and keep a souvenir about a day. Sure it doesn't look natural at all, but it's fun.
7
Every single post she makes is edited like this and she has specific purikura pics that are way more extreme.

I think the eyes are upside down

The more I look at it the more I see it.

That’s what I look like on a Sunday after having had too much rum.

This is a joke?

It looks like she hasn’t slept since she fell into the well

Apparently under eye bags are a trend so...

Those eyes do be lookin into my soul

r/Botchedsurgeries it looks like they got under eye injections but yes the rest of the photo is badly Photoshopped

I live in Japan and it’s crazy how normal this is. Sometimes I’ve met people from online, that looks completely different in real life. I can’t even tell that it’s them.
That’s crazy! Interesting tho. I wish I experienced that although I haven’t been to Japan, so maybe I need to do that lol
