Canthal tilt
also: positive canthal tilt · negative canthal tilt
Canthal tilt is the angle between the inner and outer corners of the eye. A slight positive tilt (outer corner higher) is generally considered aesthetic.
Canthal tilt describes the angle formed between the medial canthus (inner eye corner) and the lateral canthus (outer eye corner). When the outer corner sits higher than the inner corner, the tilt is positive; level is neutral; outer-lower is negative.
A mild positive canthal tilt is widely associated with a “hunter eyes” look and is generally read as attractive across studies of facial aesthetics. Negative tilt can read as tired or downturned, though it suits many faces and is entirely normal.
Canthal tilt is largely bone- and ligament-driven, so it is not something you can meaningfully change without a specialist. What you can influence is the appearance around the eyes: reducing under-eye puffiness through sleep and lower sodium, grooming the brows to visually lift the outer corner, and improving skin quality.
