Give me 40 eye shapes

Here are 40 distinct eye shapes and descriptive variations you can use for drawing, character design, makeup, or description. Short labels first, then brief notes on defining features.

1. Almond — slightly pointed at inner and outer corners, balanced lid crease.
2. Round — clearly circular, visible white around the iris.
3. Hooded — heavy brow bone or skin folding hides the crease.
4. Monolid — little or no visible crease above the lid.
5. Upturned (cat) — outer corner higher than inner corner.
6. Downturned — outer corner tilts downward from the inner corner.
7. Deep-set — eye sits back under the brow, creating a shadowed lid.
8. Protruding (bulging) — eyelid and eyeball project forward.
9. Wide-set — large distance between the inner corners.
10. Close-set — small distance between the inner corners.
11. Droopy (ptotic) — upper eyelid hooding or sagging over the pupil.
12. Heavy-lidded — thick or fatty upper lids that appear weighty.
13. Tapered — narrow inner corner that widens toward the outer edge.
14. Rounded almond — almond base but noticeably softer, more curved.
15. Slanted horizontal — slant runs horizontally with almost parallel lids.
16. Small (narrow) — short vertical height between lids.
17. Large (wide) — generous vertical exposure of the eyeball.
18. Hooded double-fold — a visible crease but overlapped by hooded skin.
19. Double-lid defined — clear, distinct crease above the lid.
20. Triple-fold — multiple creases or skin folds on the lid (seen in some older eyes).
21. Angular — sharply pointed outer corners, strong geometric look.
22. Soft-rounded — overall soft contours with gentle curves.
23. Glassy (watery) — appears moist; reflective highlights, thin lids.
24. Almond-beveled — almond with a slight bevel or eyelid ridge.
25. Wide almond — wider than standard almond, elongated horizontally.
26. Hooded upturned — hooded but with outer corner lifted.
27. Hooded downturned — hooded with outer corner dropping.
28. Inset small — small and tucked into surrounding facial tissue.
29. High-arched Brow Eye — brow sits high above the lid, enlarging the eye area.
30. Low-brow Eye — brow close to the lid, shortening the visible lid space.
31. Childlike (innocent) — large irises relative to sclera, rounder shape.
32. Narrow slit — very thin opening, often relaxed or sleepy expression.
33. Scarred/altered — eyelid shape modified by a scar or healed wound.
34. Hooded asymmetric — one hooded eye, one normal; uneven creases.
35. Swollen/puffy — lids thickened, rounder and softer contours.
36. Sharp-crease lid — very prominent, crisp crease line.
37. Hooded inner-crease — crease visible only near inner half of the lid.
38. Elongated narrow — very long horizontally but thin vertically.
39. Scleral-showing — more white visible above or below the iris (can be intense).
40. Epicanthic fold prominent — inner corner covered by a skin fold (common in many ethnicities and ages).

Tips for using these:

• Combine attributes (e.g., deep-set + almond + upturned) to create unique eyes.
• Note how brow position, lashes, and eyelid crease change perceived shape.
• For drawing, use light and shadow to indicate deep-set or hooded lids; highlight the waterline for glassy eyes.

If you want sketches, simplified reference thumbnails, or categorized sets by ethnicity, expression, age, or how to draw each step-by-step, tell me which direction and I’ll provide them.
