monolid

Lid without fold

A monolid is an eyelid that lacks a visible crease or fold, giving the eye a smooth, uninterrupted surface from lash to brow.

The term is most common in discussions of Asian facial features and makeup techniques: Monolid makeup tutorials focus on creating dimension without a natural crease.

Also called a single eyelid.
