Almond
Tapers to a point at both corners, the iris just touching the upper and lower lid, a visible crease. The shape most liner and frame charts treat as the baseline.

The six eye shapes
Every eye-shape chart reduces to the crease, the corners and the lid. The shapes are just the recognisable combinations - no shape ranks above another, and most eyes sit between two.
Round
A visibly circular opening with white showing above or below the iris when relaxed. Reads large and open - liner that extends the outer corner lengthens it.
Monolid
No visible crease - a smooth lid from lash line to brow, often with a flatter brow bone. Definition comes from the lash line and gradient shadow, not a crease.
Hooded
A crease exists, but the brow bone's skin folds over it so the mobile lid is partly hidden when open. Anything placed on the lid disappears - work above the fold.
Upturned
The outer corner sits clearly higher than the inner corner - a natural lift. Usually almond in taper - balance comes from softening the outer edge, not adding more lift.
Downturned
The outer corner sits lower than the inner corner, giving a soft slope. A short upward flick at the outer third and a lifted brow tail counter the slope.
The four traits the analysis reads
Tilt
Upturned, neutral or downturned - the outer corner against the inner corner. Decides which way liner and the brow tail should travel.
Lid exposure
Hooded, partial or visible - how much mobile lid shows with the eye open and relaxed. Decides whether anything placed on the lid will actually be seen.
Set
Deep-set, average or prominent - how far the eye sits under the brow bone. Decides how much shadow depth helps versus closes the eye.
Spacing
Close-set, average or wide-set - the gap between the eyes against the width of one eye. Decides where to concentrate definition and how wide a glasses bridge should be.

FAQ
How do I know what eye shape I have?
Upload one front-facing photo with both eyes open and relaxed and the tool reads the four things every eye-shape chart depends on - whether a crease is visible, how much lid shows, where the outer corner sits against the inner, and how the corners taper - then classifies your eyes as Almond, Round, Monolid, Hooded, Upturned or Downturned. You also get a match percentage and the runner-up shape, because most eyes are a blend (a hooded almond, a wide-set round) and an honest answer says so.
Is the eye shape analyzer free?
Yes. Your eye shape, match percentage, runner-up shape, one-line headline and the four trait reads (tilt, lid exposure, set, spacing) are free with no account or payment. The styling playbook - liner and shadow placements for your shape, the brow shape that frames it, glasses frames that flatter it, your most flattering camera angle and light, and what to avoid - is a one-time promotional unlock shown at checkout. No subscription.
What's the difference between this and the Hunter Eye Test?
The Hunter Eye Test scores the eye area on five structural markers and gives you a number and a tier. This tool doesn't score anything - it names your eye shape, reads the traits that refine it, and tells you how to style around it. Run this one when you want to know what shape you have and what to do with it - run the Hunter Eye Test when you want the measured breakdown.
What is the most attractive eye shape?
There isn't one. Every shape includes striking eyes - what people respond to is clarity, symmetry, freshness and how well the brows and framing suit the eye - traits that cut across every category. Almond gets called 'ideal' mostly because it's the shape makeup tutorials are written for, which is a styling convention, not a beauty ranking. This tool never ranks shapes or scores attractiveness.
Why does eyeliner or shadow seem to disappear on my eyes?
Almost always a hooded or partially hooded lid: the fold covers the mobile lid when your eyes are open, so anything placed there is hidden. The fix is placement, not more product - working above the fold, tightlining, and keeping the outer wing angled up past the hood. The playbook gives the exact placements for your lid.
What photo gives the best result?
Front-facing, at eye level, from arm's length or further, in even light, with both eyes open and relaxed - no squint, no big smile, no sunglasses or heavy glare on glasses, and minimal liner or false lashes if you want the natural shape read. A smile narrows the eyes and heavy makeup redraws the corners, so the tool lowers its confidence and tells you when a photo was hard to read.
Can my eye shape change?
The underlying shape is set by the bone and the lid anatomy, but how it reads changes: brow grooming, lash length, liner placement, glasses, camera angle and light all shift the impression noticeably, and the lid naturally hoods more with age. The playbook works with all of those. This tool never suggests any procedure.
Is my photo kept private?
Yes. Your photo is used in memory to generate your result and then discarded - it's never stored, sold, or used to train models. No signup is needed for the free result or the paid playbook.
