I'm looking for a very specific word, can anyone help me?

I'm writing a short essay on heredity and common traits, I'm describing a common facial structure that most men on my dad's side have and i'm stuck trying to find a single word to describe a facial feature.

here's what I want to say:

the eyes are pushed inwards and the forehead is pushed out in front of them, creating (to be brutally non P.C. , mild east asian eyes).

I'm sure a short phrase or even a single adjective exists for this, but I can't think of it. do you guys know?

Update:

Deep set is a perfect description. thank you

Update 2:

doesn't sound very nice in french though, i'll try and find what i'm looking for

    Hm... I suppose... deep set eyes?

    But I'm not sure. ^-^'''

    You can Google it up, though, I think.
