A "monolid" refers to an eyelid shape that lacks a visible crease. This feature is commonly found in individuals of East Asian descent, but it can occur in people from various backgrounds. Monolids can give the eyes a unique appearance, often characterized by a smooth eyelid surface. Makeup techniques can vary for those with monolids, as traditional methods may not apply. Many people with monolids use specific styles to enhance their eyes, such as winged eyeliner or eyeshadow techniques that create the illusion of depth. Understanding monolids can promote appreciation for diverse beauty standards across cultures.
