Although most are still unsure of what they think with regards to the “artificial” craze, some are not totally for it. For them it does not look natural and consequently, cannot stop looking at the it when they see a pair. However, one cannot disagree that a lot of women (and men) find doll eyes adorable; and with much publicity, more and more girls are going for the big eyes.

The start of the innocent eyes: Anime allusions

The doll eyes started with the Kawaii culture. Kawaii is the Japanese word for cute and is usually related to how the facial expressions, especially the eyes, of a character was drawn, initially in animes (Japanese cartoons) and mangas (Japanese comics) but now portrayed in TV series. The style usually exudes an innocent, sweet and shy attitude towards people.

Many who prefer the doll-eye look feel young and fresh, as relating to a child who plays with her dolls. They suddenly choose pastel colors more, from pink, peach to yellow. In doing this, they feel prettier and perfect like the Western Barbie doll.

In fact, some cosplayers go for the Lolita fashion. This type of fashion makes use of Victorian style garments, with the puffed up skirts and long-sleeved blouses that go well with doll-eyes.

Doll eyes in Western society

Many Americans and Europeans have also joined the bandwagon. There have been a lot of living-Barbies popular in the Internet. However, since the doll eyes are stereotyped with Sino-Chinese races – Japanese and Koreans – Westerners make use of contact lenses, especially since the natural make up (color and shape) of one’s eyes cannot be surgically reconstructed. Yes, Caucasians have rounder eyes than the Asians ones, but they still don’t have that sweetness and innocence people are looking for.
