Eye shapes. How to identify, photo and description, choose arrows, make perfect makeup

Every woman needs to know the shape of the eyes in order to properly apply makeup, buy glasses and choose other accessories, it is important to carefully read the description of each shape and see the photo. An experienced makeup artist can reliably determine the shape of the eyes, but this can be done at home.

Types of eye shapes

There are several eye shapes that differ significantly from each other.

These are:

• eyes with overhanging lids - these include the eyes of the Asian type and the eyes with which almost all European women are born. The Asian type differs in that there is no noticeable relief from eyelashes to eyebrows. Eyes of the European type are similar to age-related changes in the skin, when the eyes are hidden under an overhanging fold of skin;
• eyes that are close-set - the distance between the eyes is less than the volume of the eyes themselves;
• eyes that are set wide apart - the distance between the eyes is much greater than the volume of the eyes themselves;
• eyes with lowered outer corners - the appearance of a kind person;
• eyes that are deeply set - the space under the eyebrows comes out slightly forward, the eyelids are large and mobile, there is a pronounced fold;
• bulging eyes - round, large.

Round cut

The fair sex may have small round eyes and large round eyes. For each eye shape, you must choose the right makeup. But before the procedure for applying cosmetics, you should decide on what exactly needs to be emphasized.

Women with round small eyes need to at least visually enlarge their eyes, slightly expand and lengthen. Girls with large round eyes do not need to enlarge them, but you can make the eyelids a little wider to visually reduce the width of the eye section.

Triangular cut

In women with a triangular cut of the eyes, wide protruding cheekbones and a narrow chin can be observed. It may seem to many that the shape of the face looks like a heart. The transitions from the temples to the chin are very pronounced, therefore, the oval of the face must be correctly corrected with the help of cosmetics.

To do this, the makeup artists indicated what needs to be fixed. It is worth starting with a wide forehead, then moving on to the cheekbones - soften them, visually expand the chin. To do this, you need to correctly apply blush, do eye and lip makeup, eyebrow line.

Narrow cut

Eye shapes (photo and description help determine the type of incision at home) are of several types. Women with narrow eyes have several characteristics. First, they have an excess of fat in the upper and lower eyelids. Secondly, the fair sex does not have a peculiar fold in the upper eyelid, therefore, the effect is created as if the eyelid is hanging.

There is a fold on the inner corners of the eyes, which serves as a cover for the lacrimal tubercle. Stylists recommend using cosmetics to increase the volume of the eyes, to make them more open and clear. Through cosmetics, you can also draw attention to other parts of the face, distracting from the eye area.

Almond cut

Almond-shaped eyes are the most perfect, because women with this type do not have to hide flaws, distracting their eyes and attention to other things. It is only important to remember that it is not recommended to apply more than 2 shades of shadows on the eyelids - it is best to choose exactly 2 types.

For such an eye shape, stylists advise to apply light tones under the eyebrows, and dark tones on the folds. You can't leave a border between two shades. Eyebrows need to be made thin, it is best to paint them with a black pencil. Eyelashes should not be dyed with a greasy layer; it is enough just to run through the hair once to give them visible volume.

How to determine the shape and position of the eyes yourself?

To correctly determine the shape of the eyes and their position, you should be patient and have a large mirror.

It is recommended to follow the following tips:

1. You need to look carefully in the mirror in good lighting (a mirror with an enlarging effect is ideal for this).
2. Look carefully to see if there is a straight fold on the skin on the eyelid (if it is not on the upper eyelid, then the eyes are monolid, if there is a fold, then the viewing needs to be continued).
3. Look at the outer corners of the eyes (visually draw a central line passing through the pupil and the entire eye, see where the corners of the eyes look - up or down). If the corners are directed upwards, the eyes are raised; if downwards, they are lowered.
4. Pay attention to the fold - for this you should open your eyes wide, look closely and see if the fold is visible or hidden. If it is hidden, then the shape of the woman's eyes is "with a hood". If the fold is visible, you need to look at the last point.
5. The protein coatings of the eyes should be examined - if a girl can see the white on the upper and lower parts, then her eyes are round, if not, almond-shaped.

It is recommended to determine the position of the eyes based on the following tips:

• look in a large mirror so that each eye can be seen separately;
• pay attention to the outer corners of the eyes (if the size of the eyes is larger than the distance between them, then the eyes are close-set, if, on the contrary, they are wide-set);

How to determine the depth of the eyes: if the eyes are pressed into the eye socket, then they are deep-set, if there is a feeling as if they are going out - bulging eyes.

Folds on the eyelids

The shape of the eyes (each type has its own photo and description) is directly related to the folds. The shape of the eyes can be determined by the folds on the eyelids. If there are no folds, then the eyes are monolithic, if there are - "with a hood", round or almond-shaped. There is a peculiar Mongolian crease that can be easily found near the corner of the eyes, on the inside.

It covers the lacrimal tubercle. The appearance of a fold depends on the thickness of the lipid layer under the skin of the upper eyelid. It helps fight freezing by helping to prevent freezing of the face and also stores high-calorie nutrients.

Outside corners

The outer corners of the eyes can be raised and lowered. Any type can be easily corrected with the help of cosmetics. You can raise the corners of the eyes if you start using only shadows in dark shades, but for the eyelid that is inside, shadows of lighter colors are suitable.

A woman will always be helped by black eyeliner, with which you can draw beautiful arrows.

The eyebrows should also be directed up, the highest lifting point should be in the same place, the eyelid should be directed down. It is better to abandon the shadows that have glitters, you should not highlight the lower hairs of the eyelashes (especially around the corner of the eyes). Apply cosmetics only to open eyes to do it neatly.

Eyelid

The eyelids also come in different types:

• invisible - such eyelids are almost invisible, they need to be painted only with light shadows to make the eyelids more visible, the folds - to darken;
• heavy (swollen) - eyelids that are too noticeable to the human eye. To get rid of this effect, darken the folds and the entire eyelid. It is recommended to refuse light shades, they can be used only to emphasize the brow part;
• ideal - a woman herself can choose what to do with her eyelids, they are in perfect condition.

Distance

You can measure the distance between the eyeballs on the face using any ruler with millimeter divisions. You should hold the math device between your thumb and forefinger, and everyone else near your face. Look closely at the mark, preferably using a large magnifying mirror.

If the distance between the eyes is greater than the shape of the eyes themselves, then the eyes are wide-set; if, on the contrary, they are close-set.

Depth

The depth of the fundus can be examined by an ophthalmologist. He shines light on the eye and places a lens in front of it. The lens collects the refracted rays, which help to form the image upside down. You can also examine the fundus with the help of biomicro-ophthalmoscopy.

The examination is carried out by an ophthalmologist, he uses a special lens that can collect different rays, its manufacturers produce the best quality. An experienced specialist places the patient's chin on the device support, turns on the lighting and places a lens at a distance of 2 cm from the eyes.

This is how the doctor identifies deep and protruding eyes.
