So read on, and let’s introduce you to Downturned Eyes and how to accessorise them successfully.

What are Downturned Eyes?

So let’s start with the basics, and answer the questions, “What are downturned eyes?” and “Do I have downturned eyes?”.

This eye shape is actually very similar to the almond eye shape, but unlike almond eyes, downturned eyes (as the name suggests) have a slight tilt downwards at the outer corners, this is also called a ‘descending eyelid’.

This particular eye shape is commonly seen in people of Asian descent, but can also appear in women and men across the world.

Downturned eyes are perfectly natural, and shouldn’t be confused with Droopy Eyes (which tend to be caused by a medical condition).

How Can You Tell if You Have Downturned Eyes?

Because the shape is very similar to almond eyes, it may be difficult to tell if you have downturned eyes, especially if the curve to the lid isn’t particularly pronounced.

But generally, the fastest (and easiest) way to tell if you have downturned eyes, is to check out your face in the mirror and look at the outermost corner of your eyes to see if they are lifted up, neutral, or pointing downwards.

If the outer corners are pointing downwards with a slight drop towards your cheekbones, then you have downturned eyes.

This unique eye shape makes your upper eyelid appear longer than the lower lid, so you’ll want to keep this in mind when you’re making your lash selection - and decide whether you want to accentuate this curve (and go for a Sleepy Eye look), balance it out for a more ‘wide awake’ approach, or contour and style your makeup to give the illusion of an entirely different eye style.

And let us tell you, eyeliner is your bestie when it comes to creating an eye-popping appearance! Eyeliner can brighten up and enhance the natural appearance of your eyes, especially with a winged liner look.
