FREE CANTHAL TILT TEST
What's your canthal tilt?
Positive, neutral, or negative — the angle of your outer eye corner decides where a wing should go. One mirror check. No photo.
Look straight ahead in a mirror. Imagine a horizontal line through the inner corners of both eyes.
Where do your outer corners sit?
Canthal tilt is not your eye shape
Tilt is only whether the outer corner sits above, on, or below the inner corner. Hooded eyes, monolids, and round or almond eyes are separate. A hooded eye can have any tilt — which is why the eye shape quiz asks about the crease first and can hide the angle. Use this test when the question is the wing.
Frequently asked questions
What is canthal tilt?
Canthal tilt is the angle between the inner corner and the outer corner of the eye. Positive means the outer corner is higher, neutral means they are level, and negative means the outer corner is lower. It is separate from hooded eyes, monolids, and whether the eye is round or almond.
How do I test my canthal tilt?
Look straight ahead in a mirror. Imagine a horizontal line through the inner corners of both eyes. If the outer corners sit above that line, your tilt is positive. If they sit on it, neutral. If they sit below it, negative. One check is the whole test — do it on both eyes, because they can differ slightly.
Can my eyes have different tilts?
Slightly, yes. Classify the eye that reads more clearly, and use that wing angle on both so the makeup matches. A big difference between the two eyes is unusual; check that your head is level before you decide.
Does canthal tilt change my eye shape?
It is one part of it. Eye shape also includes whether you have a visible crease, a hood, or a monolid, and whether the iris is covered or shows white. Take the eye shape quiz for placement. Use this test when the question is only where the wing should go.
