Wide-set eyes--this type of eye tends to give the face an open, youthful appearance.

Evenly spaced eyes--These are about an eye's distance apart, meaning a third eye would fit comfortable between the two. Now there is an image for you.
Almond shaped eyes--These are the most common eye shape with their upswept lift at the outer corner.

Small eyes--They are proportionately smaller in comparison to the rest of the facial features.

Prominent eyes--These eyes which set far forward in the face tend to dominate the facial features. The eyelids are too pronounced.
Hooded eyes--These eyes are set so the natural crease in the eyelid is not readily seen.

Deep-set eyes--They seem to recede into the face. The eyelid crease is set back so the area from the base of lashes to brow bone seems hidden.
Oriental eyes--These eyes have a distinctive lift at the corner and have very little lid.
Thanks this was super helpful!
ReplyDeleteExcuse me, but I noted that all the examples are females. Does it work the same way when describing the eyes of male characters?
ReplyDeleteYes! I didn't even notice it was all women that popped up on my image search, but it would work the same for men.
Delete@Charity Bradford: Oh, that's excellent! It's just what I need for my writing.
DeleteThank you so much! <3
