Eye shapes can vary, and there are several different types. Knowing your eye shape can help you determine which makeup looks will bring out the best in your eyes. Here are some of the most common eye shapes:

• Round: Round eyes are pretty versatile and can wear liner and shadows in most colors. They are less tapered than almond eyes in the corners.

• Monolid: Monolids have a less defined crease and can appear smaller. They are common in people of Asian descent.

• Hooded: Hooded eyes have a fold of skin that droops over the crease, making the lid appear smaller. They can be challenging to apply makeup to.

• Downturned: Downturned eyes have a slight drop at the outer corners. They can make the eyes appear sad or tired.

• Upturned: Upturned eyes have a slight lift at the outer corners. They can make the eyes appear more alert and awake.

• Almond: Almond eyes are oval with narrow corners and are symmetrical. They are one of the more versatile eye shapes.

Its important to note that people can have a combination of eye shapes, and some may be in between shapes. When it comes to makeup, different eye shapes may require different techniques and products. For example, people with hooded eyes may need to use a lighter shade on the lid and a darker shade above the crease to create the illusion of depth.

Cosmetics can be complex combinations of chemicals, and its important to understand the ingredients in the products you use. Eye creams, for example, are typically very light lotions or gels and are usually very gentle. Some may contain ingredients such as caffeine or Vitamin K to reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. When it comes to labeling cosmetic products, the FDA requires that the type size be not less than 1/16 inch in height. The identification of ingredients by name is also required.
