Monolid eyes, also known as hidden or sunken eyes, are characterized by the following features:

A simple and effective trick to make your monolid eyes appear bigger and more rounded is to use eyeliner. When applying eyeliner, look straight ahead and start by drawing the wing at the outer corner. Then, look down and line the rest of your eyelid to prevent the eyeliner from appearing uneven.

Eyeliners with fine tips are ideal for monolid eyes as a thin, precise line will make the eyes look more balanced and rounded.
