Round
The visible opening is relatively tall for its width, with fuller upper and lower curves and less corner taper. Read the Round eyes features guide for the contour clues.

The 5 Eye Shapes
Wondering what eye shape you have? This eye shape detector compares the visible opening across five practical types: almond, round, monolid, upturned, and downturned.
Almond
The opening tapers clearly toward both corners, with the greatest visible height near the center. Read the Almond eyes features guide for the contour clues.
Monolid
The visible opening is low and horizontally continuous, with limited exposed lid height in the submitted photo.
Upturned
The outer corners sit visibly higher than the inner corners in the level front-facing photo.
Downturned
The outer corners sit visibly lower than the inner corners in the level front-facing photo.
Corner direction
Corner direction can sit alongside your eye contour
Round, almond, elongated, and oval describe the visible opening contour. Outer-corner direction is a second observation: the same contour can look upturned, downturned, or neutral depending on how the endpoints relate in a level front view.
Upturned
In a relaxed, head-level front view, the outer corner sits visually higher than the inner corner.
Upturned eyes guideDownturned
In the same front view, the outer corner sits visually lower than the inner corner.
Downturned eyes guideNeutral
The inner and outer endpoints sit near the same horizontal line in a level front view.
Contour and direction are two layers
A useful reading can sound like “almond contour with an upturned outer corner.” The first phrase describes the opening; the second describes endpoint direction. Head tilt, camera distance, liner, and expression can still change both observations in a photo.

Eye Shape Measurements That Matter
The eye shape analyzer reads visible opening height and width, contour taper, inner-to-outer corner direction, relative size, spacing, lid boundary, and left-to-right differences. The full face remains useful because spacing and direction need surrounding facial context.
Opening ratio separates rounder contours from more horizontally extended ones. Corner taper helps distinguish almond from oval, while corner direction shows whether the outer endpoint appears higher, level, or lower.
Opening and contour
Compares visible height, width, curve, and taper toward the inner and outer corners.
Corner direction
Tracks the visible relationship between the inner and outer endpoints and distinguishes upturned or downturned results.
Size, spacing, and two sides
Keeps relative eye size, space between the eyes, and left-to-right differences in context.
Comparison
Eye Shapes Compared
Similar eye types often share a rounded center and differ most at the corners or in the height-to-width relationship.
Opening height first distinguishes a monolid or round result. When the opening sits between those ranges, corner direction separates upturned and downturned eyes before the remaining contour is reported as almond.
| Easy to confuse | What they share | The deciding difference |
|---|---|---|
| Round vs. Almond | Both can look open through the center. | Round keeps more height and fuller corners; almond tapers more clearly toward each endpoint. |
| Almond vs. Monolid | Both can extend horizontally. | Monolid has a lower visible opening; almond keeps more central height and taper. |
| Almond vs. Upturned | Both can taper toward the corners. | Upturned is decided by a clearly higher outer endpoint; almond remains closer to level. |
| Upturned vs. Downturned | Both are direction-led results. | The deciding difference is whether the outer endpoint sits above or below the inner endpoint. |
Facial context
Eye Shape, Brow Framing, and Makeup Direction
The same eye contour can look different under a straight, arched, or angled eyebrow shape. Brow-to-eye distance, outer-corner direction, and visible lid space all change the frame around the opening.
Makeup can follow the existing taper, add contrast above the opening, or shift emphasis toward the inner or outer area.
For guidance that combines eye contour, corner direction, spacing, and brow placement, see personalized makeup recommendations based on the same face analysis.

FAQ
What else should you know about Eye Shape Detector?
What eye shape do I have?
Upload a clear front-facing photo and the eye shape test will compare almond, round, monolid, upturned, and downturned patterns. The result is supported by opening, corner direction, size, spacing, and asymmetry evidence.
Can my two eyes receive different shape results?
Yes. Visible contour and opening can differ by side. The report keeps both results and lets you decide whether to preserve or visually balance that difference.
