i have almond eyes but i never really thought it was a good thing lol i've always wanted biiiig round eyes!

Gah....what if your eyes are really long but not really round enough? Help?

Though this has nice information, I'm not really fond of how the eye shapes are discussed. Every eye shape has its own uniqueness and beauty so to say it needs "correcting" (aside from the almond eyes) really bogs me down. :/

Nice post :) but I really wish u added photos maybe next time?
