6 common eye shapes

How to identify the shape of your eyes will be easier with these standard models. Next, we show the 6 most common forms of eye types and its characteristics, in order that you can more easily identify its form:


1. Standard eyes
We identify them when the width between the eyes is similar to the width of a single eye. This type of shape allows you to "play" with the shadows and vary their intensity for a greater or lesser definition.

2. Eyes together
We identify them when the width between the eyes is less than the width of an eye. To help highlight your attributes you can concentrate the most intense colors at the outer corners.

3. Separate eyes
You can identify this type of eye when the width that separates the eyes is greater than the width of an eye. This type of eyes are open and attractive and we will make them look more together using stronger shadows is the inner ends.


4. Sunken eyes
They are shown when the eyebrow bone is more noticeable because the eyes are more "stuffed". You can highlight them by enhancing the visibility of the eyelids avoiding the dark tones in the fold.

5. Fallen eyes
They are easily identified because the fold of the eyes is not easily seen. Fallen eyes are benefited if the line of the eyelashes, both lower and upper, is well defined.

6. Asian eyes
These eyes are characterized because they appear to be the entire eyelid and appear to have a flat surface when closed, due to the lack of natural crease of the eyelid. Here we can add dimension by highlighting the line of the tabs and the outer ends.
