You're standing in front of the mirror, looking at yourself and thinking: "Which lashes actually suit me?" You've scrolled through our collection endlessly, but you're just not sure. Sound familiar? We thought so. 👑
The truth is: not every lash suits everyone equally. And that has everything to do with your eye shape. Just as a dress fits better when it's made to measure, the same goes for lashes. The right style can make your eyes look bigger, more open, more sensual or more cat-eye — exactly what you want!
In this article we tell you exactly how to recognise your eye shape and which LuxuryQueenLashes style suits it perfectly.
Step 1: How do you determine your eye shape?
Grab a mirror and look straight ahead. No sideways glance, no squinting — just you, straight into the mirror. Pay attention to the outline of your eye, the corners and what your eyelid looks like.
There are six common eye shapes:
- Almond — narrower at both corners, wider in the middle
- Round — big, open eyes with the iris visible all around
- Hooded — a fold of skin hangs over the eyelid
- Monolid — a smooth eyelid without a visible crease
- Downturned — the outer corner (by your temple) sits lower than the inner corner
- Upturned (cat-eye) — the outer corner lifts upwards for a natural cat-eye effect
Still not sure? No stress! Our free Lash Match Quiz helps you in 2 minutes. You can even upload a photo for our AI eye scan. 🤩
Your eye shape & the perfect lash style
👁️ 1. Almond eyes — the most versatile eye shape
Congratulations — you have the most versatile eye shape! Almost every lash style looks beautiful on you. Your tapered, balanced eye shape is enhanced by volume in the middle of the lash line.
Best styles for you:
- ✨ Natural Wispy press on lashes — accentuates your almond shape in a light, elegant way
- ✨ Balanced Volume lash clusters — full, polished coverage for every occasion
- ✨ Full Glam press on lashes — for nights when you want to steal the show
🔵 2. Round eyes — expressive & open
Round eyes are big, expressive and instantly noticeable. The secret to the most beautiful look? Lashes that elongate your eyes and give a subtle cat-eye effect. That creates a chic, slightly more almond-shaped look.
Best styles for you:
- ✨ Natural Wispy press on lashes — the longer outer clusters create beautiful elongation
- ✨ Full Glam press on lashes — maximum drama that highlights your expressive eyes
Tip: Place the longest clusters (14 mm) at the outer corners — that gives a subtle cat-eye look without looking forced.
🌙 3. Hooded eyes — mysterious & sensual
Hooded eyes mean a fold of skin falls over your eyelid. It might sound like a challenge, but believe us: it's incredibly beautiful and sensual.
The trick? Lashes that visually open up your eye without getting too heavy.
Best styles for you:
- ✨ Natural Wispy press on lashes — light and subtle, perfect for hooded eyes
- ✨ Magnetic lashes — light and comfortable, ideal if your eye is sensitive to weight
Avoid: very heavy or thick lashes — they can make your eyelid look even heavier. Go for volume at the outer corners and curl your natural lashes well.
〰️ 4. Monolid eyes — smooth & powerful
Monolid eyes have no visible crease on the eyelid — it's one smooth surface. This is very common and absolutely beautiful! The right lashes can add depth and dimension for a stunning look.
Best styles for you:
- ✨ Balanced Volume lash clusters — fullness that adds dimension
- ✨ Magnetic Moonilicious lashes — volume that gives monolid eyes beautiful dimension
Tip: Always curl your natural lashes well first — that makes the biggest difference with monolid eyes.
↘️ 5. Downturned eyes — soft & romantic
With downturned eyes, the inner corner (by your nose) sits higher than the outer corner (by your temple). This gives a soft, sometimes "puppy-eyed" look. With the right lashes you can visually lift the outer corners for a fresh, uplifted look.
Best styles for you:
- ✨ Natural Wispy press on lashes — a subtle lifting effect that gives downturned eyes elegance
- ✨ Balanced Volume lash clusters — extra fullness right where you want the lift
Tip: Focus the volume on the outer half of your lash line — that visually lifts the corner.
↗️ 6. Upturned eyes (cat-eye) — feline & powerful
Do you naturally have a cat-eye look? Lucky you! Your outer corner already lifts, giving you a naturally feline, powerful gaze. Almost every lash style suits you — it's just a matter of choosing which effect you want to enhance.
Best styles for you:
- ✨ Natural Wispy press on lashes — enhances your cat-eye in an elegant, airy way
- ✨ Balanced Volume lash clusters — a full, refined look that highlights your natural lift
- ✨ Full Glam press on lashes — for the ultimate royal glam cat-eye look

Tips for applying your press on lashes
- 🌿 Start with clean, oil-free lashes — before your moisturiser or eye cream, so your lashes last longer
- 📏 Long on the outside, short on the inside — 14 mm at the outer corner, 10 mm towards the inner corner
- 👁️ Underneath your own lashes — 1–2 mm from your lash line, never on your skin
- 👉 Start at the outer corner — for the most beautiful, natural placement
- 🔄 Reusable — remove gently and store them in the box; with our lash glue you can wear them again for a shorter time
