Free eye shape test for round, almond, or elongated eye openings, plus upturned, level, or downturned corner orientation. See the measured outline and explore optional makeup and brow ideas.
What eye shape do I have? Most eyes can be described on two axes: the visible opening - round, almond, or elongated - and the corner orientation - upturned, level, or downturned. Instead of a quiz, this analyzer measures both from one front photo and draws the scanned outline on your eyes, so you can see exactly which points were used.
For a steadier result: keep the lens at eye level, look straight ahead, and hold a relaxed expression with both eyes naturally open.

Common eye-shape language mixes different traits. Round, almond, and elongated describe the visible opening; upturned and downturned describe corner orientation; hooded and monolid describe upper-lid crease or fold visibility. These traits can overlap, so the detector reports opening shape and orientation separately and does not guess a lid-crease type from brow position.
Read each row independently. An eye can be almond, upturned and hooded at the same time. Opening shape and corner tilt are the two traits this tool measures; lid-fold appearance needs a separate visual check.

Signal: A horizontally tapered opening with width-to-height proportions between the round and elongated bands.
Type: Visible opening shape
An almond opening can also be upturned, level, or downturned. This tool reports that corner orientation separately.
Signal: More vertical openness relative to the inner-to-outer corner width.
Type: Visible opening shape
Expression, squinting, gaze direction, and camera height can change the apparent opening, so use a relaxed front photo.
Signal: More horizontal width relative to the upper-to-lower lid opening.
Type: Visible opening shape
This is a geometric description of the photographed opening, not a statement about attractiveness, ethnicity, or health.
Signal: The outer corner sits higher than the inner corner in the photo.
Type: Corner orientation
Upturned is an orientation qualifier, so a result can be Upturned Almond, Upturned Round, or Upturned Elongated.
Signal: The outer corner sits lower than the inner corner in the photo.
Type: Corner orientation
Head pitch and camera height affect a 2D angle estimate. A level, straight-on retake is the best comparison.
Signal: These terms describe upper-lid fold or crease visibility, not the width-to-height shape of the eye opening.
Type: Lid-crease trait - not auto-classified
The face mesh traces lid margins but not the eyelid crease or overlying skin fold, so this tool does not guess this trait from brow spacing.
Two measurements per eye are computed from points on the visible eye opening in the MediaPipe face mesh:
Width / Height Ratio
Inner-to-outer corner distance divided by upper-to-lower lid distance, averaged across both eyes. This tool uses authored photo-classification bands: under 2.6 is round, over 3.3 is elongated, and the range between is almond. These boundaries are product labels, not clinical norms.
Canthal Tilt
The angle of the inner-to-outer corner line relative to the fitted face-horizontal direction. A typical human tilt is already slightly positive, so the level band is centred on that typical range rather than on zero; upturned or downturned is reported only outside it, as a separate qualifier. See our dedicated canthal tilt calculator for the detailed photo-based angle estimate.
Lid-Crease Scope
Hooded and monolid describe an eyelid crease or overlying fold. The face mesh used here has eye-corner and eyelid-margin points, but no crease or skin-fold landmark. Brow-to-lid spacing is not a substitute, so the detector leaves lid type unclassified. To check that trait, use the mirror self-check in our hooded eyes guide.
Opening shape and corner orientation remain independent in the result - for example, an eye can be Upturned Almond. A result close to a ratio boundary is labeled as such, and the annotated photo shows the exact opening used by the calculation.
Alongside the opening shape, the detector reads the colour of your irises. It samples the ring of pixels between the pupil and the iris edge in both eyes, drops reflections, and classifies the average into dark brown, brown, light brown, amber, hazel, green, blue, blue-gray or gray - all in your browser. When one eye reads light brown or amber and the other green, it reports hazel, which is what hazel means: a mixture whose dominant hue changes with the light.
Treat it as an estimate of the photographed colour. Warm bulbs push everything toward amber and brown, cool daylight and screens push light eyes toward blue and gray, and filters do anything. A photo taken facing a window, without a filter, gives the reading closest to what people see. Brown is the global majority colour (commonly cited estimates put it at seven to eight people in ten), blue is next, then hazel and amber, with green and gray the least common.
Eye-level camera
Looking up or down changes the photographed lid opening and corner angle. Hold the camera at eye level and keep your chin neutral.
Eyes naturally open
Squinting, smiling, widening the eyes, or looking away changes the opening. Use a relaxed expression and look straight at the lens.
Clear eye area
Hair, heavy glare, shadows, or anything crossing the eyelid margins can shift landmark placement. Keep both eyes fully visible.
No glasses
Frames can cover eye corners and lenses can alter the apparent geometry. Remove glasses for the cleanest comparison.
Start with two separate observations: the visible opening can be round, almond, or elongated, while the inner-to-outer corner line can be upturned, level, or downturned. This tool estimates both from the eyelid-margin and eye-corner landmarks in a front photo. Hooded and monolid describe lid-crease traits and need a separate visual assessment; they are not inferred by this face mesh.
There is no objective most-attractive eye shape. Eye appearance combines opening proportions, corner orientation, lid and brow anatomy, expression, lighting, and individual preference. The result here is a geometry description for styling exploration, not an attractiveness ranking.
Your result can change across photos because gaze, squinting, expression, head pitch, camera height, and lens perspective change the visible opening. Eyelid appearance can also change over time. For before-and-after comparisons, match camera position, lighting, gaze, and expression.
Monolid refers to an upper eyelid without a clearly visible crease. The landmark mesh used here traces the eyelid margins and corners, but it does not locate the crease or skin fold. A monolid eye can still have a round, almond, or elongated opening and any corner orientation, so the tool reports those measurable axes without assigning a monolid label.
Some left-right difference is common, and a small head turn, uneven expression, hair, glare, or lens perspective can magnify it in a photo. This classifier averages both eye openings for its main label. Retake the photo straight on if one outline looks visibly misaligned.
Face shape describes the overall facial outline, such as oval, round, square, heart, oblong, or diamond. Eye shape here describes the visible eye opening and the corner orientation. Any face shape can appear with any eye-opening shape.
Makeup does not change the measured anatomy, but placement can change the visual effect. Outer-corner liner can emphasize or counter the measured orientation; centered or outer-weighted shadow and mascara can make the opening appear taller or longer. The result suggestions are optional effects, not corrections.
No eye or lid type is inherently attractive or unattractive. Hooded describes how upper-lid skin overlaps the crease or visible lid space. It is also separate from opening shape and corner orientation, and this photo tool does not diagnose or score it.
Diamond is usually a face-shape label rather than an eye-shape category. When people apply it to eyes, they generally mean an almond-type opening with more angular taper toward both corners. This detector does not use a diamond label; it reports the measurable axes instead - opening shape (round, almond, elongated) and corner orientation (upturned, level, downturned).
There is no reliable population data behind the rarity rankings that circulate online. Eye-shape labels describe overlapping traits rather than exclusive categories, and studies do not count them with consistent definitions, so any claim that a particular shape is rarest is marketing language. This tool reports what is measurable in your photo without assigning rarity.
That pattern is hazel. Hazel irises carry brown pigment near the pupil and less toward the edge, and the colour that dominates depends on the light source, the distance of the camera and even the colour of your clothing. The detector reports hazel when the iris colour sits between brown and green, or when one eye reads light brown or amber and the other hazel or green in the same photo, rather than picking one.
It can tell the colour your camera recorded, which is close to what people see when the light is neutral daylight and no filter is applied. Warm indoor light shifts light eyes toward brown or amber; cool light and screen glow shift them toward blue and gray. If the reading surprises you, retake facing a window in daylight - the colour that persists across lighting is your eye colour.
Among the common categories, green and gray are the least frequent - commonly cited estimates put green near two percent of people worldwide and gray below that - while brown is the majority colour. Claims about red, violet or truly black eyes describe lighting, albinism or very dark brown irises rather than distinct colours, and no reliable global census of eye colour exists, so treat exact percentages as approximate.
