FaceFitLabWhat is my eye shape?
Add one close, front-facing photo. FaceFitLab maps the eye contours in this browser tab, measures canthal tilt, spacing and openness, names your eye shape, and lists the liner, shadow, brow and frame shapes that work with it.

Both eyes open and looking at the camera, glasses off, hair off your face, even light.
How eye shape is determined
Eye shape is read from three things: the angle of the line between the inner and outer corner (canthal tilt), how much of the eye is open between the upper and lower lid, and how much of the iris the upper lid covers. This tool maps the eye contours and iris on a face mesh in your browser, corrects for head tilt using the line between your eyes, and applies fixed thresholds to those measurements.
Spacing is measured separately: the gap between the inner corners divided by the average width of one eye. About one eye width is average, below 0.90 reads close-set and above 1.35 reads wide-set.

The five eye shapes
Eye shapes are descriptions, not ranks. Many people sit between two of them, and the result card flags when a measurement is close to a boundary.
| Shape | What defines it here | Liner direction |
|---|---|---|
| Almond | Moderate lid gap, near-level corners | Follow the natural curve |
| Round | Lid gap about 40% of eye width or more | Extend outward |
| Hooded | Upper lid covers about 35% of the iris or more | Thin line, shade above the crease |
| Upturned | Outer corner 4 degrees or more above the inner | Follow or flatten the lift |
| Downturned | Outer corner 4 degrees or more below the inner | Angle slightly upward |
Canthal tilt, spacing and openness
Canthal tilt is positive when the outer corner sits higher than the inner corner, neutral within about 2 degrees of level, and negative when it sits lower. It decides which direction a wing or a shadow gradient tends to follow. Spacing decides where the shadow and the start of the brow sit, and openness affects how much lid space is available for liner and colour.
These are the same measurements that appear in the result card, so you can check the number behind each suggestion. For the wider picture, try the face shape tool for haircut and frame suggestions or the color season tool for shadow colours.
Questions
Is my photo uploaded?
Not for this tool. The landmark model runs in your browser, the photo stays in the tab while you look at the result, and the Clear photo button removes it from memory.
Why does my result change between photos?
Canthal tilt is a few degrees, so expression, head angle and how wide your eyes are open all move it. Take two or three photos straight on in even light and compare.
Can it detect a monolid or a hooded eye reliably?
Hooded is inferred from how much of the iris the upper lid covers. A monolid has no visible crease, which a landmark mesh cannot see reliably, so the tool does not label it.
Should I keep my glasses on?
Take them off. Frames and reflections shift the points the measurement relies on.
What does a positive or negative canthal tilt mean?
It only describes the direction of the line from the inner to the outer corner of the eye. It is a feature, and the styling suggestions use it as a starting point for liner and brow direction.
