What Is Eye Shape Detection?
Eye shape is determined by lid structure, crease depth, corner tilt, and spacing, and it is one of the biggest factors in whether a makeup look actually suits you. Our AI analyzes your photo against the full eye type chart with 10 recognized categories and returns tailored eyeliner, eyeshadow, and color recommendations. Whether you want to find your eye shape from a photo or just understand different eye styles, the results are matched to your specific eyes.
Eye Shape Chart: All Eye Types Explained
Use this eye shape chart as a reference before or after running the detector. Each entry describes the defining characteristics of that eye shape, which you can compare to the look of your eyes in a mirror or photo.
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 Knowing Your Eye Shape Matters for Makeup
Different eye styles call for different approaches. What flatters almond eyes may close off round eyes, and techniques designed for monolids often look heavy on hooded lids. Knowing your shape is the starting point for makeup that actually works with the natural look of your eyes, not against them.
- 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 eye models but not your specific eye shape
- Get a starting point, then adjust the tips to your personal style

How do I find my eye shape?
The easiest way to find your eye shape is to upload a clear, well-lit face photo to the detector above. Alternatively, look straight into a mirror and check whether the outer corners point up or down, whether you have a visible crease, and how much white shows above and below your iris.
Can I change my eye shape?
Your underlying eye shape is anatomical and stays fixed, but makeup techniques like eyeliner placement and eyeshadow blending can visually enhance or soften how the look of your eyes appears.
What's the most common eye shape?
Almond eyes are generally considered the most common eye shape, though most people have a unique combination of traits like hooding, tilt, and spacing.
Does eye shape affect makeup?
