At either rate, those saying to lack "Caucasoidalness" are quite off, to say the least.
I know some girls from Russia, Lithuania, and Kazakhstan who have dark eyes just like me; my brothers look like me as well, but they do have lighter eyes (but their skin is slightly darker, due to prolonged beach time).
