What are Monolid Eyes?
You’re probably wondering what Monolid Eyes are, right? Well, the eye shape is more commonly seen in people of Asian descent, and it’s estimated that about 50% of Asian people (or people with Asian heritage) have Monolid shaped eyes.
Basically, Monolid eyes are those that have a lack of crease on the eyelid, and the surface of the eyelid is flatter.
How to Tell if You Have Monolid Eyes
Take a look, face on, in the mirror and open your eyes as you would normally. If there isn’t much (or any) crease in the area where the eyelid meets below your brows and your eyelid doesn’t have much of a curve (is flatter), then you most likely have a monolid shaped eye.
Monolids are quite similar in appearance to Hooded eyes - both eyes shapes have lids that aren’t particularly visible when the eye is open, but what makes a monolid different from a hooded eye, is that a monolid sticks out with no crease (hooded eyes tend to have more of a crease and less depth).
If you’re still not sure what shape your eye is, and whether or not you have a monolid eye - we suggested taking a look at some pictures of:
- Lucy Liu
- Jamie Chung
- Sandra Oh
These celebrities all have gorgeous monolid shaped eyes - so if you do too, then you’re in great company!
Monolid eyes have little to no visible crease, so the eyelid appears as one smooth, continuous surface. It's especially common among people of East and Southeast Asian descent, and the right lashes can add dimension without needing a crease to work with.
The best lashes for monolid eyes
Because there's no crease to catch the lash line, monolid eyes generally suit styles with longer outer corners, or multi-layered, criss-crossed lashes that taper outward - both draw the eye toward the outer edge and create shape that a monolid doesn't have naturally.

Makeup that works with monolid eyes
Liquid eyeliner tends to work better than pencil on monolid eyes, since it holds a cleaner line without smudging as you blink. A waterproof formula is worth it here, as the lash line sits closer to where the lid moves.
