EYE SHAPE GUIDE

🌰 Almond Eyes

The classic tapered shape — wider than it is tall, corners level

How to tell you have almond eyes

  • Your iris touches the top and bottom eyelids — no white above or below
  • The eye tapers to a point at both corners
  • A visible crease follows the eye's curve
  • Inner and outer corners sit roughly level

Makeup for almond eyes

Eyeshadow: Almost anything works — a classic crease-blended wash is foolproof; deepen the outer V for drama.

Liner: Any style suits you; a small flick at the outer corner extends the taper beautifully.

Lashes: Even volume across the lash line, or slightly heavier at the outer edge.
