almond eye
Oval-shaped eye shape
An almond eye is an eye shape resembling the almond nut—elongated and tapering at the corners, widest in the middle.
The term appears in beauty contexts to describe eyes considered aesthetically balanced: She has natural almond eyes.
When applied to East Asian features, the phrase can carry racial overtones, reducing distinctive eye shapes to a single descriptor.
