Vie de Sabrina Couture: Wide Set Eyes

I decided I'm going to dedicate a post entirely to wide set eyes. As a kid, I always knew I looked 'different' from the other girls. I noticed that my face was considerably very round in comparison to most people, my eyes had a large gap (space) or what have you in between them, seemingly a lot further than most people's eyes... Last but not least, why is my face seemingly flat?! I hated how I looked growing up, I always thought I looked ugly compared to the other little girls with long faces and eyes that sat closer in together. Alas, you have to embrace what you've been given!

I've come a long way since those days and realize my wide set eyes make me unique ;-)

What are wide set eyes? Strangely abnormal space between the average person's eyes for starters, most people don't think much of it but it is in fact a physical deformity. It runs in my family, my grandmother, my mother, my aunt, including myself all have wide set eyes. Most likely when I have children, they too will carry this physical trait. The medical term known for this is ' Hypertelorism' and in some very extreme cases can be quite scary to look at. I suggest for most people not to search this on google. However, lots of factors and abnormalities in the genetic line are a cause of wide set eyes or better known as Hypertelorism. This is where I'd like to use the popular cliche that "Imperfection is beauty" and yes it is. Lets roll with it people!

If you noticed, all people with wide set eyes actually resemble one another (or in my opinion they do) . They all have a very similar look to them, including round faces, large space between the eyes (of course), and a flat appearing face over all.

These are some well known Celebrities with wide set eyes.
