My eyes are two different sizes!!!!
I'm a teenage girl and my eyes are two different sizes. I've linked a photo of myself below. It's not painfully obvious in this photo, but sometimes it is really obvious, especially when I smile. Is there anything that I can do about this? Any make up that I can wear to make my smaller eye look bigger or anything?

I would make sure that a family doctor is aware of this if it really is pronounced to rule out any possibility of there being a problem that could gradually grow over time. Its more likely that this is one of those normal differences between each half of our bodies and faces that really occurs. I had a chance as a young teen to go with the family to a science center where a machine you stood in front of and clicked a button, would take a separate shot of each half of your face and show you two shots of what you look like with a duplicated right side and a duplicated left side, and I remember being so shocked to discover that neither photo looked like me at all! These differences for the most part are so minute that seen all together we can't notice them, isolate one like focusing on your eyes and you notice them. I cant say that using differ makeup techniques on each eye will distract from the difference that you can notice. Have you gotten comments from others mentioning that one of your eyes is bigger? Use of makeup could end up drawing more attention to the difference in size.However it may help to distract as in the case of my daughter over a different body part.
Here's that story:I have a daughter who has one breast smaller than the other. It is very noticeable to me when she is in bikini top or bra but with clothing on it isn't noticeable at all. So clothing helps distract the eye from noticing the difference in size. That difference is size didnt stop anyone from wanting to be her friend during teen years and now in her 20's, hasn't prevented her from finding a boyfriend. If you choose to not worry about it, likely no one else will either.

Don't worry. If you take a head and shoulders portrait of someone and then use Photoshop to divide the face straight down the middle, duplicate either half and mirror it...the picture looks strangely (and more often than not, greatly) unlike the model. I'm not talking about the hairline (which often has deliberately asymmetry in a lot of styles) but the face. I mean nose, eyes, forehead, lips, jawline...the lot. In absolute terms our faces are very rarely symmetrical and this excercise (which makes a perfectly symmetrical face, form whichever side you choose...or both for a comparison if you like) proves it in perhaps a startling way. I might point out that models who might be considered the 'best looking' are NOT those whose faces approach symmetry most closely either. It tends to be the opposite and it's reckoned our eyes are rather 'hungry' for some asymmetry, and seem in a way to 'prefer' to see some. I believe the animators who create the 3D characters in CGI movies and TV shows have to deliberately avoid giving their human characters perfectly symmetrical faces too, or it looks strangely 'wrong'. So relax, and I wouldn't try to balance your perceived eye-sizes with some bizarre make-up technique. I'm sure even professional make-up artists don't entertain the idea, or ever attempt it. And you might see that the idea of a model having a 'best side' is not a myth. And also notice that few portraits are taken with the absolutely square-on to the camera...except passport photos...and don't you find most people hate their passport photo?? You're OK. Stop worrying.!! XX
ps..the rest of our bodies do not posess perfect symmetry either which you can again prove with Photoshop. The right shoulder and upper arm muscles for instance will always be more pronounced (ie slightly bigger) in a right-handed person. And don't even think about getting a ruler on your boobs or comparing the profiles!!
