Inspired by what she terms the “Big Eye Fetish” of Asian women, Korean designer Soomi Park turned to light. Her idea is to use light as an alternative to makeup, jewelry and plastic surgery for enlarging your peeps.
She took it a step further than that by adding a feature that turns the lights off temporarily if you look in the other direction. This elaborate setup is all wired behind the ear with a small battery.
I’m wondering if it’s distracting to have the light shining below your eyes like that, but I’m willing to try it out for myself. Perfect timing for Halloween if you are planning on being some sort of celestial being!
