Are my uneven eyelids obvious?

I've attached a few photos.
2 of the photos are from when I was in my mind/late 20s so I don't think this is necessarily an ageing thing (I'm early 30s now)
I went to a beauty clinic and an aesthetician 'kindly' pointed it out to me (I never asked her to)
I admit I'd never noticed it before but that's now given me a bit of a complex.
Just wondering if it's obvious, I feel like it is. I know no face is 100% symmetrical but I feel self-conscious.

There's a reason why a beauty clinic would point out a completely normal and unnoticeable feature! You've never noticed it before and I doubt anyone else has.

I went to get my eyebrows threaded recently and was asked if I wanted my upper lip and arms doing as the hair is so dark and visible (it's not and even if it was I don't need it pointing out)

FGS, you've got beautiful eyes, nothing wrong with them at all!!.
Was she trying to offer treatment? Don't change a thing 😁

When you stare into a mirror or a camera and view the resulting still photo you are faced with a static image of yourself and it's easy to home in and focus on different areas of your face.

In reality unless you have a job as a shop mannequin you are animated and your face moves and so do your expressions.

You are beautiful and have no need of any procedures, operations or anything else that will alter your lovely face.

Yes it is noticeable but only because im looking and I am exactly the same.
However it is only really noticeable in photographs. If I see myself in a mirror I can't tell but it's obvious in pictures.
I bet the beautician only noticed because she spent time close up and nobody else's notices.
Don't worry about it,you have nice eyes

Beautiful eyes!

I have had the same thing from some really rude aesthetians and it made me feel crap about myself. I think everyone has some asymmetry of some kind. I think your eyes are stunning though, a beautiful colour. Try not to pay any attention to these kinda comments ❤

  1. Gorgeous, gorgeous eyes!!
  2. What a money grabbing bitch.
  3. Let it wash over you like the crap it is.

You have a slightly different crease in each eye, that is really common and normal. You have stunningly beautiful eyes, don’t let a natural slight asymmetry bother you !
