EYE SHAPE GUIDE

Monolid Eyes

A smooth, creaseless lid — one elegant plane

How to tell you have monolid eyes

  • No visible crease at all when eyes are open
  • The lid is a single smooth surface from lash line to brow
  • Lash line often sits close to the brow bone
  • The perfect canvas for gradient and graphic looks

Makeup for monolid eyes

Eyeshadow: Gradient (puppy) shading — deepest at the lash line fading upward — flatters more than a forced crease line.

Liner: Go bold: graphic shapes, smoked-out horizontal liner and soft daily gradients all sit beautifully on an uninterrupted lid.

Lashes: A strong curl at the root opens the eye; straight lashes benefit from a heated curler.
