Definition
双眼皮 refers to the double eyelid — a visible crease on the upper eyelid. It’s a common facial feature in East Asian aesthetics, often discussed in beauty standards and cosmetic surgery contexts. Unlike the straightforward English gloss 'double-lid', the concept carries cultural weight in China, where a prominent eyelid crease is often considered more attractive.
n.
