The Best Lash Styles for Your Eye Shape
Ever wondered why some lashes make your eyes pop while others don’t seem to do the trick? The secret lies in choosing the right lash style for your unique eye shape! Just like finding the perfect pair of jeans that flatter your figure, the right lashes can enhance and balance your natural features.
Before diving into lash recommendations, take a quick look in the mirror and identify your eye shape:
✔ Almond Eyes – Slightly elongated with a visible crease, the iris touches both the top and bottom of the white part of your eye.
✔ Round Eyes – More circular and open, with more of the white of your eye showing around the iris.
✔ Hooded Eyes – A prominent brow bone with a less visible eyelid crease, sometimes making the lid appear smaller.
✔ Monolid Eyes – No visible crease, with a smooth lid space extending from the lash line to the brow.
✔ Downturned Eyes – The outer corners of the eyes tilt slightly downward, creating a gentle slope.
✔ Upturned Eyes – Similar to almond eyes but with a slight upward lift at the outer corners.
Now that you’ve identified your shape, let’s talk lashes!
Almond Eyes
Best Lashes: Wispy, cat-eye, or rounded styles.
✔ Accentuates the natural shape while adding subtle lift or dimension.
✔ Can wear almost any lash style depending on the desired effect—lucky you!
💡 Tip: Want to elongate your eye shape even more? Try cat-eye lashes with longer outer corners. Prefer a soft, everyday look? Opt for wispy rounded styles that enhance without overpowering.
Round Eyes
Best Lashes: Demi lashes or crisscross styles.
✔ Adds definition and elongates the eye shape.
✔ Wispy or cat-eye styles help create a more lifted, elongated look.
💡 Tip: If you want a sultry effect, go for flared or winged styles that subtly lift the outer corners. Avoid overly round lashes, as they can make the eyes appear more prominent.
Hooded Eyes
Best Lashes: Medium volume with a natural curl.
✔ Opens up the eye area without looking heavy.
✔ Longer lengths in the center create the illusion of bigger, more open eyes.
💡 Tip: Avoid overly thick or straight lash styles, which can make the eyes look smaller. Instead, go for natural curl lashes that gently lift and define.
Monolid Eyes
Best Lashes: Multi-layered styles or strong curl lashes.
✔ Creates depth and dimension.
✔ Lashes with a more dramatic curl help lift and define the lash line.
💡 Tip: Go for fluffy, multi-dimensional lashes to add more contrast and structure. C-curl or D-curl styles work best for added lift.
Downturned Eyes
Best Lashes: Winged or longer outer-corner lashes.
✔ Lifts and elongates the eye shape.
✔ Cat-eye or flared styles help balance and create a more lifted appearance.
💡 Tip: Choose lashes with longer outer edges to create an uplifting effect and balance the natural droop. Stay away from heavy styles that emphasize the downturn.
Upturned Eyes
Best Lashes: Balanced, fluffy, or soft volume styles.
✔ Maintains the natural lift and enhances eye symmetry.
✔ Rounded or wispy lashes soften the look without overpowering the eye shape.
💡 Tip: If you want a dramatic effect, try flared or doll-eye styles to enhance symmetry and add balance.
Final Tips for Finding Your Perfect Lash Style
Experiment – These are guidelines, but at the end of the day, it’s all about what makes you feel most confident. Try different styles and see what you love!
Consider Length & Volume – If you have smaller eyes, ultra-long lashes may be overpowering, while lighter, fluttery lashes can enhance without overshadowing.
Application Matters – Placement is key! Adjust your lashes slightly to tailor them to your unique eye shape for the best effect.
