In-Fold or Out-Fold: Which Suits Your Eyes?
The choice hinges on your epicanthal fold, lid thickness and brow position — not on which style is trending.
An in-fold crease starts inside the epicanthal fold and tapers toward the inner corner; an out-fold runs above it, showing a parallel line across the whole lid. Both are legitimate designs, and the flattering choice is dictated mostly by anatomy you already have.
Reading your own anatomy
A prominent epicanthal fold naturally favors an in-fold, which blends with it; forcing an out-fold over a strong fold can look tense unless the inner corner is addressed too. Thicker lids and a short brow-to-lash distance also change how high a line can sit without looking heavy.
Because these variables differ from face to face, the same design produces different impressions on different people. Bring the question to a specialist consultation, where trying the line on your own lids beats any photo comparison.
