What Is Eye Shape Detection?

Eye shape is determined by lid structure, crease depth, corner tilt, and spacing, and it's one of the biggest factors in whether a makeup look actually suits you. Our AI analyzes your photo against 10 recognized eye shape categories and returns tailored eyeliner, eyeshadow, and color recommendations for your specific eyes.

Almond

Tapered, pointed corners with visible crease, often considered the most balanced and versatile eye shape.

Round

Visible iris top and bottom with a circular, open appearance and a less elongated horizontal shape.

Monolid

Minimal or no visible crease, with the eyelid skin lying flat from lash line to brow bone.

Hooded

A fold of skin partially covers the crease when eyes are open, making the lid space appear smaller.

Deep-set

Eyes sit further back in the socket, often appearing more shadowed with a prominent brow bone.

Wide-set

More than one eye-width of space between the inner corners, giving a spaced-out, open appearance.

Close-set

Less than one eye-width of space between the inner corners, giving a more centered appearance.

Downturned

Outer corners angle slightly downward compared to the inner corners, giving a softer, gentler look.

Upturned

Outer corners angle slightly upward compared to the inner corners, giving a naturally lifted, feline look.

Protruding

Eyes extend further out from the face with more visible eyelid surface, giving a rounder, more prominent look.

Why Your Eye Shape Matters for Makeup

  • Apply eyeliner where it actually enhances your shape, instead of guessing
  • Choose eyeshadow placement and blending techniques suited to your lid space
  • Avoid techniques that work for influencers but not your specific eye shape
  • Get a starting point, then adjust the tips to your personal style
