Tips

memory
Literally 'lying silkworm' — the small bulge under the eye, curved like a silkworm at rest, is thought to make the eyes look younger and more expressive.
mistakes
Don't confuse 卧蚕 with 眼袋 (eye bags). 卧蚕 sits directly below the lash line and is considered cute; 眼袋 is lower and is a sign of tiredness or aging.
