almond eyes

Narrow, oval-shaped eyes

Almond eyes are eyes with an elongated, tapered shape resembling the nut—wider in the center and tapering toward the inner and outer corners.

The term appears in physical descriptions and beauty contexts: She had striking almond eyes.

It's often applied to East Asian eye shapes, though the shape occurs across ethnicities.
