inner corner

Tear duct area

The inner corner is the point where two edges or surfaces meet at an angle facing inward, as opposed to an outer corner that projects outward.

In makeup, the inner corner refers specifically to the area where the upper and lower eyelids meet near the nose: Apply highlighter to the inner corner of your eye to brighten your look.

In architecture and carpentry, inner corners require different techniques than outer ones for trim work or tiling.
