What Are the Main Eye Shapes and How to Know Which One You Have?
Similar to body types, there are a couple of different categories for eye shapes. But only six are considered to be the main ones. The following is a simple guide on each.
| Eye Shape | Description |
| Round | Has visible whiteness under the pupils. |
| Monolid | Has no crease. |
| Hooded | Can’t see the crease when the eyes are open. |
| Downturned | The outer corner is lower than inner corner. |
| Upturned | The outer corner is higher than inner corner. |
| Almond | Has no visible whiteness below the pupils. |
- The rarest eye shape is probably downturned. But there is no sufficient data to back this.
- Upturned could be the most common eye shape since it’s common among Asians.
- While your eye shape doesn’t change over time, aging might affect your crease. So, you might have a hooded-like shape as a result of drooping skin.
Secondary eye shape categories:
Bulging or protruding. Eye shapes that are outward and popped out.
Deep-set. An inward shape with a prominent brow ridge.
Wide-set. An eye shape with a wide pupillary distance.
Close-set. Eyes with narrow pupillary distance.
3 Things That Affect the Eye Shape Quiz Results
You should consider the crease visibility, the whites under the iris, and the pupillary distance when identifying one’s eye shape. So, these factors directly affect the test results. Here’s what to know about each.
The crease above your eyelids.
The line above your eyelids can reveal what your eye shape is. If it’s prominent, you probably have a hooded eye. If it doesn’t exist, you are monolid. So, the test offers specific questions to classify your crease type before revealing your actual eye shape.
The whiteness under your pupils.
If you see the whites under your iris when looking straight into the mirror, then your eye shape is round—you don’t even need to take the quiz. But if you can’t tell if it’s visible or not, you might need the test.
The space between your eyes.
You could simply measure the pupillary distance using your index finger and thumb. But you might not know how to interpret the measurements. What does it mean when the space in-between your tear ducts are narrow? What about when it’s wide? Well, the quiz helps you find the answer to all that.
Do You Have to Have Only One Eye Shape?
Marlena Stell, a well-known makeup artist and YouTuber says, “You can be more than one eye shape. So, don’t feel like you have to be in this tiny box; I have to be just one. You could be one or two shapes or the combination of both.”
So, yes, you can have more than one eye shape. And you don’t have to fit into one specific category. But oftentimes, one category is more prominent.
