Your Eye Shape
There are six common eye shapes to consider
when determining what your eye shape is: monolid, prominent, almond, downturned, hooded, and deep set. See our examples and descriptions below to see what best resembles your eyes.
ALMOND
Almond eyes typically have an oval shape pointed in one or both corners. A visible crease on the eyelid and the iris touches both the top and bottom of your eyelid.
HOODED
Hooded eyes feature a natural crease that makes your eyelids not as easily seen. If you have a hard time seeing your eyelid, then you most likely have hooded eyes.
DEEP SET
Deep set eyes are larger and deeper set into the eye socket, creating the illusion of a more prominent brow bone.
MONOLID
Monolid eyes have no crease. The eye doesn’t sit as far back as other eye shapes, so the brow is less prominent.
DOWNTURNED
Downturned eyes tend to point down in the outer corners of the eye. They typically have a more rounded shape on the bottom lid.
PROMINENT
Prominent eyes give the look of projected lids. They sit more on the outside of the eye socket area.
Almond
Almond eyes are exactly that, shaped like almonds with either one or both sides having a slight point to them. Along with the overall shape, if you are still wondering if you have almond eyes, take a look directly in the mirror; if part of your iris is hidden then you in fact have almond shaped eyes.
OUR top picks for you
Just about every lash style will be flattering on almond eyes. The lash shape is more about what you feel the most confident wearing.
Hooded
Hooded eyes feature a natural crease that makes your eyelids not as easily seen. If you have a harder time seeing your eyelid than you most likely have hooded eyes.
OUR top picks for you
For hooded eyes it’s important to pick a lash that has a dense base. This way, it combats the lid that tends to cover lighter lashes. Your lashes are able to be seen and admired this way!
Deep Set
Set deeper into the facial structure, deep set eyes create a more pronounced brow bone and eyelid with their placement.
OUR top picks for you
Because the eyes sit further back in the socket, you want to make sure that lashes have enough volume to be seen but not too much to where it touches your brows. A wispy or medium density lash will look best on the deep set eye shape.
Monolid
Monolid eyes feature little to no crease and appear to have a flatter overall eyelid surface.
OUR top picks for you
More dramatic lashes look best on monolids because they give the eye some dimension without overpowering the eye’s appearance.
Downturned
Downturned eyes feature a natural downward slant towards the outer corner of the eyes.
OUR top picks for you
We recommend keeping the attention higher on the eyes. The outer corners are downturned, so you want to make sure that the lashes have a round shape to give the illusion of a lift.
Prominent
Prominent eyes feature a larger and more defined eye shape. A prominent eye tends to outshine other features of the face bringing attention to the eyes.
