The Best False Lashes for Your Eye Shape
The style that looks incredible on your friend can look heavy on you. Lash shape and length should follow eye shape. Here is the cheat sheet, with a style for each.
Lash shape does more than length. A strip that is longer at the outer corner stretches the eye. One that is longest in the center opens it. Spikes with gaps read wide-eyed, a dense band reads glam. Pick for your eye shape first and the rest is taste.
Hooded eyes
The lid fold sits over the lash line, so very long or very curled lashes hit the hood and disappear. Go for length that shows from the front: a criss-cross wispy pattern with a lifted outer corner, in a shorter total length. Ambitious is short, spiky and high volume, made for exactly this. It Girl gives the wispy Sinful look in a 7 to 12 mm length.
Round eyes
Elongate. A cat eye shape that is longer toward the outer corner pulls the eye out into an almond. Bella is the winged classic, Baddie flares harder, and Kiss It is the subtle version for daytime.
Almond eyes
You can wear most shapes. This is the eye that suits full, even volume without any correcting: Sinful for wispy flutter, Bombshell or Night Out for a night out.
Monolid eyes
Without a crease, a thick band and too much curl can close the eye. Choose a thin band with soft spikes and open gaps so light gets through. Day Light, our manga-inspired spiked style, is built exactly this way, and Essential is the soft everyday option.
Small eyes
Skip anything that adds weight at the inner corner. Length that builds from short at the inner corner to longer at the center and outer corner opens the eye up. Nine to Five and Classic Set keep it natural; Ambitious gives volume without the length.
Wide-set eyes
Bring the focus inward with a style that is fuller through the center and inner half rather than flared at the outer corner. Whisp It and Dreamy both sit evenly across the eye.
Glasses
Not an eye shape, but a question we get every week. Anything under 12 mm clears most lenses: Ambitious, Essential, Classic Set.
