Upper eyelid exposure

Upper eyelid exposure, usually shortened to UEE, is the amount of upper eyelid visible between the lash line and the crease when the eye is open and looking straight ahead. Low exposure — a hooded or deep-set eye — is the look the term exists to describe, and it is a large part of what "hunter eyes" bundles together. It is a real distance and it can be measured from a photograph, though the number depends heavily on where the camera was relative to the eye, because a lens above eye level increases apparent exposure and a lens below reduces it. What changes it: brow position, eyelid skin with age, swelling, and surgery. What does not: exercises, tape, and any of the routines sold for it. Our canthal tilt tool measures the other half of this region, which is the angle rather than the exposure.
