I think it really depends on the person.
Some people look really hot with single eyelids.. and others.. don't. I'd like them because they're unique. I have double eyelids. Har.

My mom has double eyelids; I don't. I actually think I look better without double eyelids. Like what she said, ^ I think it would look good on certain people.

So I guess double eyelids are better.

I have single eyelids..
I don't really care though.
Umm. It's normal for an Asian person to have single eyelids. Are you Asian?
And if you don't like single eyelids so much, why not get surgery?

thats a lie. You just have to actually know what you are doing. I've done it a million times on my friends. Its all about technique

I love people with like...big eyelids like Beyonce. I would love to do her makeup because she has so much eyelid to work with. I do prefer double eyelids but I really prefer them to be big double eyelids...which basically means really high eyebrows.

What do you mean it's normal? Is it a stereotype that Asians have single eyelids? I mean every single cartoon I see they draw Asians with single eyelids. Then everyone thinks it's weird for Asians to have double eyelids...

It's just that a lot of Asians have single eyelids..

They have eyelids like everyone else. They do have an extra layer of fat on their lids which give their eyes its almond shape. It has been theorized that this was to protect it from cold. "Asians", sinodonts, or orientals (whatever you wish to call them" came from Tibet based on language studies and they probably developed this fat layer to protect their eyes from the cold in the Himalayan highlands.

hm... most people don't notice, but i've got one single eyelid and one double eyelid.
The only thing i don't like about the single eyelid is that it's harder to put contacts in.
oh,... that, and it also makes your eyelashes go down farther.

No, it's not a stereotype. MOST (I didn't say ALL) Asians have single eyelids, and that's fact. Double eyelid surgery is the most popular cosmetic surgery in Asia.

That's good. If you decide to do that kind of complex surgery, you should go to a very experienced doctor.

My mom almost talked my sister into getting that surgery. I'm glad she didn't get it or else she might have ended up blind

I didn't mean you specifically.
Anyway, I don't think there's anything wrong with double eyelids. People are just putting themselves at serious risk for the sake of the Westernized interpretation of beauty.

I'm not sure which one I like/prefer. I honestly don't care about someone's eyelids. It depends on the person as to whether or not single or double eyelids look good on a particular person, but it's not worth getting surgery over.

theres not alot of double-eye-lidded asians out there. and the ones that do still have a flat face so it doesnt really seam like it. where as white people, they have very deep inset eyes so it makes there eyelids more pronoucned.

Hey!! ME TOO. I dont really think people notice it really either.. because my left eye well.. there IS a crease but, you can definatly see a difference with my right eye that has a thick lid. So I dont think my left eye is "fully" a single eyelid. but most people probably wouldnt notice that unless I tell them.

Just like how I was talking about my braces and people were like OMG you have braces?!?!?!

and also when Im trying to curl my lashes, my left eye sometimes hurts, while with my right, I dont feel a thing.
but its weird though, when I was little I had double eyelids and nice ones too.

but as I get older my eyes are changing!!

How does that happen?

I am 100% Chinese and I have one single eyelid and one double eyelid. It's just the luck of genetics. My aunt has the same.
Having double eyelids is rather common for East Asians according to Wikipedia:
In Asian cultures, the presence of an epicanthal fold is associated with the lack of an upper [[eyelid crease]], commonly termed "single eyelids" as opposed to "double eyelids". The two features are distinct; a person may have both epicanthal fold and upper eyelid crease, one and not the other, or neither. About 50% of eastern Asians are born with a single eyelid, i.e. an eyelid with no creaseIt's the epicanthal fold that gives the Asian look, not whether or not there is a double eyelid. All East Asians have the fold, which has (as you said) evolved due to the weather, but the eyelid varies naturally.
Personally I like both kinds (well, I guess I
have to say that don't I

)

I had no idea there are "double" or "single" eyelids.
::googles::
Okay now by looking at the pictures I've seen them before, but I have no idea that they were called that.

I guess I like double ones better
