The opening is wider than it is tall, tapering gently at both corners — the shape most eye-makeup tutorials quietly assume you have.

What is my eye shape?
Upload a front-facing photo. We measure two things independently — how the opening is proportioned, and how much your outer corners lift compared with most people’s — then show the makeup placement that follows from each.

Reference
Two measurements, not one label
Most eye-shape quizzes give you a single word. That flattens two independent things: the proportions of the opening, and the tilt of the corners. You can have a round opening with downturned corners, or an elongated one with a typical lift — and the makeup advice for each is different.
The opening
Round
The opening is tall relative to its width, so more of the iris shows and the eye reads open and awake.
Elongated
The opening is notably wider than it is tall, giving a long, horizontal line across the eye.
The corners
One thing worth knowing before you read these: on almost everyone the outer corner already sits a little above the inner one. A typical lift is around four degrees. So these labels are measured against what is normal, not against a flat line — “downturned” means less lift than most people have, which is why a tool that compares you to zero tells nearly everybody their eyes are upturned.
Upturned
Your outer corners sit noticeably higher than the inner ones — more lift than most people have. A wing that follows the existing angle amplifies the lift. Keeping the outer line horizontal calms it down.
Level
Your outer corners sit a little above the inner ones, by the amount most people's do. Almost everyone has some lift; yours is the usual amount. Nothing here is pulling the eye up or down, so the direction of your liner is a free choice rather than a correction.
Downturned
Your outer corners sit lower than most people's. They may still be very slightly above the inner corners — what matters is that there is less lift than average, which is what reads as a downward line. Lifting the outer line upward counteracts the drop. Following the natural corner emphasises it — some people want exactly that.
The honest limit
What about hooded and monolid eyes?
This tool deliberately won’t tell you. Hooded and monolid are descriptions of the eyelid crease, and the face mesh this runs on has no landmark for a crease — there is no point on the model that corresponds to one. A tool that reports them from a photo is inferring, not measuring.
Both are easy to check in a mirror instead. Look straight ahead with your eyes relaxed: if a fold of skin covers part or all of your mobile lid, that’s hooded. If there is no visible crease at all, that’s monolid. Neither changes the measurements above — they sit alongside them.
