Ögonform

Ögonform refers to the overall shape and contour of a person's eye. It is a significant aspect of facial aesthetics and can vary greatly among individuals. Several factors contribute to an eye's shape, including the structure of the eyelid, the prominence of the eyeball, and the surrounding bone structure. Common terms used to describe eye shapes include almond, round, hooded, upturned, and downturned.

Almond-shaped eyes are typically characterized by an elongated, slightly pointed shape, with the outer corners of the eye appearing slightly higher than the inner corners. Round eyes, as the name suggests, have a more circular appearance with visible whites above and below the iris. Hooded eyes have an extra layer of skin that folds down from the brow bone, partially or fully covering the eyelid crease. Upturned eyes have outer corners that are noticeably higher than the inner corners, creating a lifting effect. Conversely, downturned eyes have outer corners that are lower than the inner corners.

The perception of eye shape can also be influenced by makeup techniques, which can be used to enhance or alter the apparent shape of the eyes. Understanding different eye shapes is common in fields such as makeup artistry, fashion, and anthropometry.
