Positive Canthal Tilt
When the outer corner of the eye sits higher than the inner corner — a youthful, attractive eye trait.
Positive canthal tilt is the specific, desirable case of canthal tilt where the lateral (outer) canthus is higher than the medial (inner) canthus. It gives the eyes a subtly upswept, alert, "cat-eye" quality and is a component of both hunter eyes (with depth) and feminine prettiness (with openness).
Most attractive faces have a mildly positive tilt. Strongly negative tilt is one of the more noticeable eye-area failos. Tilt is set by bone and ligament, so it is stable over a lifetime barring surgery.
Is positive canthal tilt attractive?
Yes — a mild upward tilt is one of the most consistently attractive eye traits across sexes.
How do I know my canthal tilt?
Compare the height of your inner vs outer eye corner; measuring the exact angle from a front photo is most reliable.
