Watch those eyes

FACE FORTUNEBy MADAM ZORRA

Look at the eyes if you want to know what is in the heart, and not just the expression within them, but also how the eyes are positioned.
This comes in handy when you are dealing with a person you have just met or who is difficult.
Many people who have listened to Simon Cowell’s criticism of contestants on American Idol dislike him immensely and think him arrogant and cruel, but if you look at his eyes you will see how kind and soft he really is. It is not the shape of his eyes (as the shape speaks of a man who has a sharp mind and is very analytical), but the way they droop downwards.
This indicates a sensitive and gentle soul who feels deeply for people and wants to assist them. Perhaps you’ve noticed how he always apologises for his criticism, but as he is good at his job, he tells the truth unwaveringly for the sake of improving the contestants and not to humiliate them.
People with such eyes are easily despondent and can slip into melancholy. It takes little to get them in this mood – just remembering a past sorrow or disappointment can trigger it. They must not wallow in self-pity or sadness.
This negative trait gets worse with age.
David Archuleta, the young, soulful boy who likely will be the next American Idol, has such eyes too. He performs deep, meaningful songs best and has been accused of choosing songs that verge on the dark.
On the other end of the spectrum, people who have eyes that rise towards the temple are tough, selfish, calculating and even vicious.
They can make cold decisions and have very little care for the welfare of others. The higher the upward slant of the eyes, the worse is the trait. Such eyes resemble those of cats and really need no explanation.
Another thing to note about the eyes is how close or how far they are from each other.
The ideal distance is an eye’s breath from each other. When they are close together, it indicates that the person may have tunnel vision or is a bigot. They find it difficult to see the point of view of others. They are self-centred and also very nervous, impatient and highly-strung but they can also be very focused in their attention.
Easily provoked, such people have little thought for others and can be very self-conscious. To say they are mean would not be far from wrong as their first thought is always about themselves.
If you are a girl and have such eyes, it is best to wear make-up at the outer ends of your eyes, drawing the shading towards the temples so as to make them seem further apart. If you are a man, make sure your eyebrows don’t crowd close together above the bridge of your nose.
The opposite of this type of eyes are eyes that are wide-set – more than one eye’s breadth apart. People with such eyes have an open view of things. They are more laid-back and relaxed, with a “let it be” attitude.
They can be careless about many things, especially their safety, reputation and their belongings. They tend to get into trouble especially when they are young because for them nothing is urgent or dangerous.
The most worrying thing about people with such eyes is that their careless disregard for their safety can result in an untimely death. They can also be accused of being reckless about their future.
A person with such eyes is Rihanna. Not only has she got wide set eyes but they are also catlike. Such a combination suggests arrogance and a “could not care less” attitude, which is very provocative.
Another characteristic to note is when the eyes are set at very different levels. Be careful with such people as they can be explosive and very erratic. Many criminal have eyes like this but not everyone with such eyes are criminals!
The ideal eyes are those that are level, with a slight lift at the end. They should be an eye’s breadth apart and shaped either like an almond or a leaf, not too pointed at the point close to the nose. When the inner eye ends with a sharp point, then it is a sign that the person is a spendthrift who gives no thought of saving for a rainy day.
Our eyes, the central focal point of our face, are an important feature when analysing a face for signs of sincerity, compassion, and depth of emotions. Though the shape and position are important, perhaps the best judge of the integrity of a person is whether the person has a calm, direct gaze.
Trust not the shifty-eyed!
