I hope, for her sake, that it’s just WAAAAAAY too much eye shadow. It doesn’t look healthy, OR normal, though.

Covers topics that deal with the innate nastiness that creates the monsters like these who are among us.

As far as this particular monster?

Ugliness comes from within, as does beauty.

And those with ugly souls don't realize that plastic surgery has the opposite effect of beautification.

These are FAKE PEOPLE.

Her nose looks cockeyed, as well. It looks like she's covering up a mustache, too. I am not convinced that this is even her. It kind of looks like the YouTube drag queen (and mayhem ensued) who makes herself up to look like famous people. But, unlike Lara, she's hilarious and beautiful.

When the eyes appear to sink back into the head, it's referred to medically as enophthalmos. This condition can be caused by several underlying issues, including:

🔹 1. Trauma or Fracture

Orbital blowout fracture (typically from blunt trauma) can damage the bones around the eye, causing the eye to sink.

Fat atrophy or scarring within the orbit post-injury can also lead to enophthalmos over time.

🔹 2. Fat Loss in the Orbit

Aging: Natural loss of orbital fat with age can cause a sunken-eye appearance.

Cachexia: Severe weight loss due to chronic illness (e.g., cancer, AIDS) can lead to orbital fat atrophy.

Horner’s Syndrome: Can cause mild enophthalmos due to sympathetic nervous system disruption, though this is often more apparent than real.

🔹 3. Silent Sinus Syndrome

A condition where chronic sinus disease causes the floor of the orbit to collapse inward, drawing the eye backward.

🔹 4. Post-Surgical or Radiation Effects

Orbital decompression surgery for thyroid eye disease or tumors can sometimes lead to a sunken appearance.

Radiation therapy to the orbit can cause tissue fibrosis and fat atrophy.

🔹 5. Certain Diseases or Syndromes

Scleroderma and other connective tissue disorders can cause atrophy of orbital tissues.

Parry-Romberg syndrome (progressive hemifacial atrophy): rare condition that leads to shrinking and degeneration of the tissues beneath the skin, usually on one side of the face, including the orbit.

🔹 6. Dehydration or General Illness

Severe dehydration or acute illness can sometimes make the eyes appear sunken, but this is usually transient.

When to See a Doctor

If enophthalmos is new, worsening, or accompanied by symptoms like double vision, pain, or facial changes, it should be evaluated urgently by an ophthalmologist or neurologist, possibly with imaging (CT/MRI).

Putting the dark brown in the crease makes her eyes look deep set. The highlights at the edge of her brow intensify this. The best thing she could do is start over with a clean face and do less of everything. With makeup, less is more.

Edit: She may have had plastic surgery to reduce eye wrinkles. But it usually ends up making eyes look puffy.
