His horizontal lower eyelid suggests a surgery performed to relieve an abnormality. The young man stares confidently with his slightly uneven gaze, his face so flush and lips so moist he appears almost disconcertingly alive, despite being over 1,500 years old. — [club161541399|@tatianaberg] #GucciBeauty #TheMet @alessandro_michele #AlessandroMichele
