Which Lashes Suit Your Eye Shape? How to Find Your Perfect Match
Not every lash looks the same on every eye. The art lies in choosing the right shape that visually enhances 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 upturned outer corner. This is the most common eye shape. You see a clear iris surrounded on all sides by the white of your eye.
Round eyes
Your eye is almost as wide as it is tall. The white of your eye is visible above and below your iris. Your eyes look large and open by nature.
Monolid eyes
You have no clear crease in your eyelid. The eyelid looks flat. This is common with Asian eye shapes.
Deep-set eyes
Your eyeball sits further back in the eye socket. Your brow bone protrudes more, making your eyes appear to lie in shadow.
Protruding eyes
Your eyeball sticks out slightly. Your eyes are clearly visible and look larger in profile.
Close-set eyes
The distance between your two eyes is smaller than the width of one eye.
Wide-set eyes
The distance between your two eyes is larger than the width of one eye.
Downturned outer corner (hooded eyes)
The outer corner of your eye droops slightly downward, which can give your eye a sad or tired expression.
Step 2 — Choose the lash style that suits your eye shape
Almond eyes
You're in luck — almost any lash suits you! For the most beautiful results, 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 longer, choose a cat-eye or wispy style with the most length at the outer corner. Avoid very round or uniform lashes — those make round eyes even rounder.
💡 Recommended style: longer, thinner clusters with a clear flick outward.
Monolid eyes
Choose dramatic, curled lashes with plenty of volume. Because of the flat eyelid, you need a strong curl and length to see an effect. Wispy styles with individual hairs also work well here.
💡 Recommended style: maximum curl, fuller clusters across the whole line.
Deep-set eyes
Choose lighter, longer lashes without too much volume at the base. Lashes that are too heavy 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.
Protruding eyes
Choose full, shorter lashes with plenty of volume at the base. This draws attention to the lash line rather than the eyeball. Avoid very long clusters — those emphasise the protrusion.
💡 Recommended style: full, shorter clusters evenly distributed.
Close-set eyes
Choose lashes with extra length and volume at the outer corner. This visually draws the eye outward and creates more space between your eyes. Keep the inner corner light and short.
💡 Recommended style: cat-eye with short clusters on the inside, long on the outside.
Wide-set eyes
Choose lashes with more volume at the inner corner. This visually draws the eyes closer together for a balanced look. An even, full style also works well here.
💡 Recommended style: full clusters from inner corner to middle, slightly shorter toward the outside.
Downturned outer corner (hooded eyes)
Choose a doll-eye or open style with the most length in the middle of your eye. This visually lifts the gaze. Avoid cat-eye styles — those pull the corner further down.
💡 Recommended style: longest clusters in the middle, tapering evenly toward both corners.
