Canthal Tilt
The angle between the inner and outer corners of the eye; a neutral-to-positive tilt is generally favoured.
Canthal tilt is the line drawn from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye. A slight upward (positive) tilt is commonly associated with an alert, youthful look. The underlying angle is anatomical, but periorbital puffiness, sleep, hydration, body fat and grooming all influence how the eye area reads.
The eye area dominates attention in face perception. Small improvements in the periorbital region have outsized impact.
- Eye area impression
- Perceived alertness & youth
- Overall harmony
- That tilt can be 'trained' — it can't, but the surrounding presentation can be optimised.
- Improve sleep to reduce periorbital puffiness
- Manage allergies and sodium for fluid balance
- Groom and shape brows to frame the eye
- Cold compress for morning puffiness
- Brow grooming
- Consistent sleep architecture
- Lower body fat reduces periorbital heaviness
- Chasing eye 'tilt' devices that don't work
- Surgical canthal procedures are serious — strictly via oculoplastic specialists.
