When You Smile, Does One of Your Eyes Look Smaller Than the Other? It Happens To These Stars…

We all have little asymmetries, and one of the most common ones is that people’s eyes often appear different sizes when they smile—perhaps it’s something about how the muscles contract or maybe the move just exaggerates a bit of off-kilterness. Whatever it is that causes it, if it happens to you, you’re in good company. Check out this gallery of lovely ladies whose peepers often go slightly mismatched when they grin:

Halle Berry:

Angie Harmon:

Shannen Doherty (who’s only half-smiling here):

And Jennifer Garner:

And oddly, in every case but Shannen’s here, it’s the eye on her left side (our right) that is smaller—strange, right?

Oh and if you want to hide yours in pictures, here’s a simple trick: Try tilting your head so the smaller eye is a bit lower or turning so it’s slightly away.

Are your eyes different sizes and shapes? Ever noticed this on any of these ladies before? Have other asymmetricies you’ve noticed? Discuss.
