Understanding Your Eye Shape Result

Your eye shape result tells you more than a label — it reveals the geometry that drives how light hits your eyes, how expressions read, and which accessories frame your face best. This guide helps you interpret the result, get a more accurate scan, and apply the insight beyond makeup.

How to Read Your Confidence Score

The detector returns a shape label along with a confidence percentage. A high score (above 80%) means your eye geometry strongly matches one category. A lower score often means your eyes blend two shapes — for example, 60% hooded and 30% almond. When scores are split, read the tips for both shapes and combine the advice. Both labels are valid and useful.

Taking a Better Photo for Accurate Detection

Face the camera straight on with both eyes fully open. Even, front-facing light works best — overhead light creates shadows that mimic a hooded crease, and side light makes one eye look different from the other. Remove glasses, pull hair back from your forehead, and keep your expression neutral. A slight chin tilt can change how the crease reads, so keep your head level.

What Your Eye Shape Means Beyond Makeup

Eye shape influences which sunglasses sit well on your face, how expressive your resting face appears, and even how certain hairstyles frame your look. Round eyes naturally appear more open and alert, while hooded eyes can read as relaxed or mysterious. Neither is better — they simply give different starting points for how you present yourself.

Tips by Type

Specific recommendations for each eye shape shape result.

Almond

Your proportional shape means most sunglasses and frames suit you. Experiment freely — your geometry won't fight against many styles.

Round

Angular frames balance your curves. Avoid perfectly round sunglasses unless you want to amplify the roundness deliberately.

Hooded

When choosing glasses, look for frames that sit higher on the nose bridge to avoid crowding the visible lid space. Thinner top rims keep the eye area open.

Monolid

Your smooth lid surface catches light beautifully. Browline or cat-eye frames highlight the clean canvas of your lid.

Upturned

Cat-eye sunglasses echo your natural lift. Aviators provide a contrasting straight line that balances the upward pull.

Downturned

Upswept or cat-eye frames counteract the downward angle at the outer corner and create a lifted appearance.

Deep-set

Avoid frames with heavy brow bars — they add shadow over already-recessed eyes. Lighter, thinner frames let more light reach your eyes.

Close-set

Frames wider than your face or with transparent bridges create the illusion of more space between your eyes.

Wide-set

Frames with a strong, dark bridge draw attention inward and visually close the gap between your eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the detector say 'unknown'?
The detector returns 'unknown' when it can't clearly map the eye contours — usually because of glare, closed eyes, heavy frames, or a profile angle. Re-take the photo with both eyes fully open, glasses removed, and even lighting.
Are my two eyes always the same shape?
Mild asymmetry is normal. Most people have one eye slightly more hooded or one outer corner that sits a little higher. The detector reports the dominant shape across both eyes, but you can crop and test each eye separately if you want to see the difference.
Can contact lenses change my detected eye shape?
Regular corrective lenses don't affect shape detection. Colored or circle lenses that change the visible iris size can affect the round vs. almond classification slightly, so use a photo without them for the most accurate result.
