Methodology & Editorial Standards
Why We Built an Objective Two-Axis Eye Shape Reference
Almost everyone who searches what type of eyes do I have has experienced the same frustration: one beauty quiz calls your eyes almond, another calls them hooded, and a third insists they are upturned. None of those labels actually contradict one another—they simply describe three separate anatomical dimensions.
Our Three-Part Measurement Model
- 1. Palpebral Opening Ratio: Compares horizontal corner-to-corner span against central open height (<2.6 Round, 2.6–3.3 Almond, >3.3 Elongated).
- 2. Head-Roll-Normalized Canthal Tilt: Levels the medial tear-duct baseline first so minor posture shifts do not skew whether outer corners read downturned, level, or upturned.
- 3. Upper Eyelid Crease & Iris Sampling: Pairs 478-point 3D facial landmarks with computer-vision crease inspection to distinguish double lids, partially hooded folds, hooded lids, and monolids while sampling glare-filtered iris color.
Cosmetic Scope & Privacy First
Every ratio, angle, and seasonal swatch on whattypeofeyesdoihave.com is created strictly for makeup artistry, lash styling, eyebrow grooming, and optical frame selection. We never provide medical, surgical, or ophthalmic diagnosis, and we never retain uploaded portraits in biometric identity databases.
