What eye shape do I have?
Eye shape includes several separate details. Your upper eyelid has a crease pattern, your eye opening has a contour, and your outer corners have a direction. You can have hooded lids with an almond contour, for example.
This self-check uses a personality-quiz format. Its 15 questions ask you to choose the observations that fit your eyes. The suggested result depends on what you report, so a clear view helps more than a guess.
Get a clear view first
Hold a mirror at eye level in even light. Look straight ahead with your eyebrows relaxed, and avoid widening your eyes. Raising your brows can change how much eyelid you see.
If you use a photo, choose a straight-on shot without a filter. Tilted selfies and camera angles can make corner direction harder to judge. Check each eye separately if they look different.
Several questions compare your open eyes with gently lowered lids or ask what stays visible beneath an imaginary guideline. Pick the detail you can actually see. If you can’t tell, say so instead of choosing the answer that sounds closest.
Separate a hidden crease from an absent crease
A crease is the fold line in your upper eyelid. Monolid describes an upper lid without a clearly defined crease. A crease that’s hidden when your eye is open isn’t the same as an absent crease.
With Hooded lids, skin above the crease covers some or much of the visible lid when your eyes are open. A prominent crease alone doesn’t establish hooding. Comparing open eyes with gently lowered lids can help you notice a fold that was hidden.
Look at contour and corner direction separately
Round describes a more rounded eye opening. Visible white below the iris, the colored part of your eye, can be one clue when you’re looking straight ahead. That clue alone doesn’t settle the result.
An Almond contour is longer across, with narrower ends. The upper and lower lids often meet the edges of the iris without much white visible above or below it.
For corner direction, compare the outer corner with the inner corner of the same eye. Upturned means the outer corner sits higher; Downturned means it sits lower. Eye spacing and how far forward or back your eyes sit are separate details, not rules for these labels.
Understand mixed or unclear results
Mixed Features leaves room for overlapping traits. You don’t need to squeeze your eyelid structure and corner direction into one category.
Insufficient Information means your answers don’t give enough clear detail for a suggestion. A mirror check has limits, and your result is an entertainment-based description, not a medical assessment.
Use makeup ideas as experiments
Your eye shape doesn’t set rules for eyeliner or false lashes. You can try a thin line, a thicker wing, or lashes you like and compare the looks with your eyes relaxed.
If you’re exploring makeup that suits your faceinclude your own preferences. With hooded lids, checking eyeshadow placement while your eyes are open can help you see which color remains visible.
