Eye Shape Detector
What eye shape do you have? Upload one selfie and the AI reads all four axes — outline, lid, tilt and set — plus how closely your two eyes match.

How to tell your eye shape: the four axes
Most eye-shape lists contradict each other because they mix four separate questions into one label. Real eyes answer all four.
Shape — almond or round
The basic outline. Almond eyes taper at the outer corner with an oval opening; round eyes show a more circular opening with more visible white above and below the iris.
Lid — hooded, monolid or visible crease
What the upper lid does. Hooded eyes have a brow-skin fold covering part of the crease; monolids have no crease line; a standard double lid shows the crease clearly.
Tilt — upturned, neutral or downturned
The canthal tilt: whether the outer corner sits above, level with, or below the inner corner. The single most-discussed eye trait in facial aesthetics.
Set — close, wide, deep or protruding
Where the eyes sit: spacing relative to one eye-width, and depth in the socket. Set changes how every other axis reads.
Why your two eyes might not match
Almost nobody's eyes are identical — one commonly sits slightly higher, opens slightly wider, or hoods slightly more. That's why this detector scores eye symmetry alongside the shape: the label tells you what your eyes are, the score tells you how closely they agree.
Mild differences are normal and mostly invisible to others. Larger ones usually trace to brow-muscle habits (one brow working harder), sleep position, or puffiness — the same habit-driven causes covered in the uneven eyes guide. If your symmetry score comes back low, that's the page to read next.
Your eye area, tracked over time
The Symmetry IQ app scores your eye area as one of 8 facial metrics on every scan — spacing, levelness, symmetry — and tracks how it changes as your habits do.
Eye shape — FAQ
How do I find out what eye shape I have?
Upload one front-facing selfie with both eyes open. The AI reads your eyes along four axes — basic outline (almond or round), lid presentation (hooded, monolid or visible crease), canthal tilt (upturned, neutral or downturned) and set (close, wide, deep or average) — then composes them into your primary eye shape, like 'hooded almond' or 'upturned round.'
Why four axes instead of one eye shape?
Because real eyes are combinations. 'Hooded' describes the lid, not the outline — you can have hooded almond eyes or hooded round eyes. Single-bucket quizzes force you into one label and lose the rest. The four-axis read is also why two people with 'almond eyes' can look completely different.
What are the main eye shapes?
The outline is almond (tapered corners, visible crease, oval shape) or round (more circle, more visible white). On top of that stack the lid type (hooded, monolid, or visible double crease), the tilt (upturned, neutral, downturned), and the set (close-set, wide-set, deep-set, protruding, or average). Most 'eye shape lists' mix these axes together, which is why they contradict each other.
Is the eye shape test free and private?
Yes. The detector is completely free with no sign-up. Your photo is sent securely for a single analysis and is not stored or used to train models.
What is the eye symmetry score?
Alongside the shape, the tool scores how closely your two eyes mirror each other — height on the face, size, openness and crease match — from 0 to 100. Slightly uneven eyes are completely normal; most people land in the 70s and 80s. If yours score lower, the observations tell you what drives the difference.
Can my eye shape change?
The bone and eye structure don't, but the lid presentation does: hooding tends to increase with age as brow skin descends, puffiness can shrink the visible crease day to day, and brow-muscle habits change how open each eye looks. That's why the same eyes can read differently at 20 and 40 — and why re-testing over time is legitimate.
