Video : Funky LED Eyelashes or The Fetish for Big Eyes

LED eyelashes appear to be the order of the day here. Apparently, this contraption is a project to give East Asian women prettier (or bigger) eyes.

According to the inventors, very few East Asian women are born with big eyes – a *standard* for beauty – and so the little-eyed ones resort to other techniques such as makeup, jewelry, and plastic surgery to make their eyes bigger. These techniques border on obsession thus being labeled as the fetish of Big Eyes.

The LED Eyelash is meant to satisfy the need for big eyes and “can perceive the movements of the pupil in the eyes and eyelids. If someone wears it and moves her head, LED Eyelash will flicker following the movement.”

We at OneInchPunch do not endorse this kind of equipment. Actually, we’re not convinced anyone apart from the inventors would endorse it either. However, we do think that East Asian women do look fantastic either with or without big eyes!
