EYE SHAPE GUIDE

Round Eyes

Open, circular eyes that show white around the iris

How to tell you have round eyes

  • You can see white above or below your iris looking straight ahead
  • The eye looks about as tall as it is wide
  • A visible, deep crease
  • Often reads as bright, awake, doll-like

Makeup for round eyes

Eyeshadow: Blend shadow outward (not upward) past the outer corner to elongate; keep the lid center light.

Liner: A longer horizontal wing stretches the eye; tightline the top waterline instead of ringing the whole eye.

Lashes: Emphasize outer-corner lashes to pull the shape wider.
