Is It Possible to Alter Eye Shape by Making Them Appear Smaller?

anon5678
I have big doe-eyes which look fine on women and children, but not as a guy. I was wondering if there is any way to raise the lower eyelids so that they cover more of the eyes and make they look smaller. I've noticed most guys or at least most guys that look masculine have eyes that are shaped similarily to the top half of semi-circle. I'm getting really tired of always having to squint my eyes in order to look good.
