The Perfect Flutter: Finding Your Ideal Eyelash Style by Eye Shape

Updated: Feb 11, 2023

When it comes to eyelashes, there's no one-size-fits-all solution. The best eyelash style for you will depend on the shape of your eyes; so let's take a look at some of the most popular eyelash styles and which eye shapes they're best suited for.


ALMOND


First, let's talk about almond-shaped eyes. These eyes are characterized by a slightly pointed inner corner and a slightly rounded outer corner. The best eyelash style for almond-shaped eyes is a medium-to-long length with a slight curl. This will help to elongate the eye and create a more dramatic look.

✨Celebrities: Beyoncé, Eva Longoria, and Mila Kunis have almond-shaped eyes.

✨How To Style: Follow the natural shape of the eye for a beautiful, classic look. Choose a doll shape where the lashes are the longest in the middle.

ROUND


Next, let's talk about round eyes. These eyes are characterized by a round shape and a wide iris. The best eyelash style for round eyes is a longer length with a more pronounced curl. This will help to create the illusion of a more almond-shaped eye.

✨Celebrities: Ashley Olsen, Katy Perry, and Zooey Deschanel all have round eyes.

✨How To Style: Wispy lashes will usually flatter more than lashes with uniform length distribution. With round eyes, you can easily get away with more dramatic eyelash styles. Long and voluminous lashes won’t overwhelm your eyes the way they would a more narrow eye shape, so don’t be afraid of length!

HOODED


Hooded eyes are characterized by a drooping upper eyelid that covers the crease. The best eyelash style for hooded eyes is a medium-to-long length with a slight curl. This will help to open up the eye and create a more defined crease.


✨Celebrities: Blake Lively, Jennifer Lawrence, and Emma Stone have hooded eyes.

✨How To Style: Look for lashes that are shorter in the inner corner to prevent exacerbating that effect.


MONOLID


Monolid eyes are characterized by a lack of a crease on the eyelid. The best eyelash style for monolid eyes is a medium-to-long length with a slight curl. This will help create the illusion of a more defined crease and open the eye.

✨Celebrities: Lana Condor, Sandra Oh and Lucy Liu have monolid eyes.

✨How To Style: Always look for lashes that are a little shorter near the inner corner. Along the rest of the lash line, a subtle increase in length from the inside out can look great.

OTHER TERMS WE'VE HEARD


When it comes to choosing the perfect eyelash style, it's common to hear terms like "upturned," "downturned," "protruding," and "deep-set" to describe different eye shapes. However, these terms often cause confusion and misunderstanding among those who are looking to enhance their natural beauty with eyelash extensions.


The truth is that these terms are more about the positioning of your eyes than they are about the actual shape of your eyes. For example, an eye that is considered "upturned" is simply an eye that appears to be angled upwards, while a "downturned" eye is angled downwards. A "protruding" eye is one that sticks out, while a "deep-set" eye is one that appears to be set back into the face.


If you have an upturned eye, you may want to opt for a longer lash style to create a more dramatic look, while if you have a deep-set eye, you may want to choose a style that will bring your lashes forward and open up your eyes.

Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner, and Rihanna all have upturned eyes.


Katie Holmes, Anne Hathaway, and Charlize Theron have downturned eyes.


So, why does this matter when it comes to choosing the best eyelash style for you? Well, understanding your eyes' shape and positioning can help you choose the right eyelash style that will enhance your natural beauty and give you the desired look.
