Brow Ridge (Supraorbital Ridge)
The bony ridge above the eyes; projection here creates deep-set eyes and is a strong masculine dimorphism marker.
The brow ridge (supraorbital ridge) is the bone above the eye sockets. Forward projection here sets the eyes deeper, casts a subtle shadow, and is a core ingredient of hunter eyes and masculine dimorphism. It is one of the most dimorphic facial regions — pronounced in attractive male faces, flatter in feminine ones.
Because it is bone, brow ridge projection is essentially fixed after puberty. It works together with canthal tilt and orbital depth to determine the overall intensity of the eye area.
Why are deep-set eyes attractive on men?
A projected brow ridge sets the eyes deeper, creating shadow and intensity — a strong masculine dimorphism marker.
Can you build a brow ridge?
No — it is bone and fixed after puberty. Only implants or fillers alter projection.
