the robot eyes

I was thinking about it today, and I think that there might be some disconnect in my brain. Women (okay, not just women, sometimes I do too) wear eye makeup to accentuate their eyes, make them pop. For some reason, I can’t see peoples’ eyes if they’re wearing eye makeup. I only see the makeup and the eyes vanish. The overly made up person stops being a person to me, and might as well be a robot.
I was mulling this phenomenon over when I realized that it could be due to early exposure to things like this (Blade Runner is the second movie that I can remember seeing, A New Hope is the first). I’m not sure if I should blame my parents or the eighties. It’s easier to get my parents to act guilty.
