Which Lashes Suit Your Eye Shape? How to Find Your Perfect Match
Not every lash looks the same on every eye. The art is choosing the shape that flatters your eyes. In this guide you'll first learn how to recognise your eye shape, and then exactly which lash style suits it best.
Step 1 — Discover your eye shape
Grab a mirror and look straight ahead. Use these descriptions to recognise your eye shape:
Almond eyes
Your eye is wider than it is tall, with a slightly lifted outer corner. This is the most common eye shape. Your iris is surrounded by the white of your eye on all sides.
Round eyes
Your eye is almost as tall as it is wide. The white of your eye is visible above and below your iris. Your eyes look naturally big and open.
Monolid eyes
You don't have a clear crease in your eyelid. The eyelid looks flat. This is common in East Asian eye shapes.
Deep-set eyes
Your eyeball sits further back in the eye socket. Your brow bone sticks out more, so your eyes seem to sit in shadow.
Prominent eyes
Your eyeball sits slightly forward. Your eyes are very visible and look bigger in profile.
Close-set eyes
The distance between your eyes is smaller than the width of one eye.
Wide-set eyes
The distance between your eyes is larger than the width of one eye.
Downturned eyes
The outer corner of your eye points slightly downwards, which can make your eyes look sad or tired.
Step 2 — Choose the lash style that suits your eye shape
Almond eyes
Lucky you — almost every lash suits you! For the most beautiful result, choose a cat-eye style with extra volume at the outer corner. This enhances the natural upward line of your eye.
💡 Recommended style: longer clusters at the outer corner, shorter at the inner corner.
Round eyes
To make your eyes look a little more elongated, choose a cat-eye or wispy style with the most length at the outer corner. Avoid very round or uniform lashes — they make round eyes look even rounder.
💡 Recommended style: longer, thinner clusters with a clear flick outwards.
Monolid eyes
Choose dramatic, curled lashes with lots of volume. With a flat eyelid you need a strong curl and length to see the effect. Wispy styles with individual strands also work well here.
💡 Recommended style: maximum curl, fuller clusters along the whole line.
Deep-set eyes
Choose lighter, longer lashes without too much volume at the base. Heavy lashes push deep-set eyes back even further. Think open, airy styles that bring the eye forward.
💡 Recommended style: wispy clusters with length but little weight.
Prominent eyes
Choose full, shorter lashes with lots of volume at the base. This draws attention to the lash line rather than the eyeball. Avoid very long clusters — they emphasise the forward position.
💡 Recommended style: full, shorter clusters spread evenly.
Close-set eyes
Choose lashes with extra length and volume at the outer corner. This visually pulls the eye outwards and creates more space between your eyes. Keep the inner corner light and short.
💡 Recommended style: cat-eye with short clusters inside, long on the outside.
Wide-set eyes
Choose lashes with more volume at the inner corner. This visually brings the eyes closer together for a balanced look. An even, full style also works well.
💡 Recommended style: full clusters from inner corner to the middle, slightly shorter towards the outside.
Downturned eyes
Choose a doll-eye or open style with the most length in the middle of your eye. This visually lifts your gaze. Avoid cat-eye styles — they pull the corner down even further.
💡 Recommended style: longest clusters in the middle, tapering evenly towards both corners.
