So I cannot emphasize this enough. And I find it quite amazing that people still think symmetry is the standard of beauty. My right eye is switching still. Maybe that's why I don't have eyeliner. Honestly, though, nobody is symmetric. So let's take a look at this face. Ignore my eyes, which look completely wackadoo, but okay, okay, look, it's shorter, it's longer, it's wider, it's narrower. I can't even begin to describe these because they're completely different eyes. Right now, it's lower, it's higher. Nobody has symmetry. Amer.
