How to Pick Eyelashes That Complement Your Eye Shape

A great pair of lashes can take a whole look to the next level, but what's even better is choosing a set that will enhance the shape of your eyes. The wrong pair can make you look out of proportion, or in some cases, even smaller than your natural features. With this article, you will be taken through selecting the best set for different eye shapes so that, at the end, you correctly enhance the natural beauty within.

Almond Eyes

Almond-shaped eyes are often regarded as the most versatile. Almond eyes will be flattered by almost any style of lash, yet not many of these stand out. However, false lashes with a bit of a curl to them and added volume enhance the natural symmetry of almond-shaped eyes. Just make sure you know how to apply false lashes.

 Ones that flare at the ends lengthen your look even further. Wispy is one of the best styles for almond eyes because it is long with a natural length. These lashes make up a beautiful shape but are not overpowering; it can elongate the eyes. Look for lashes that have a mixture of longer and shorter hairs to get a more open, wide-eyed look.

Round Eyes

Round eyes are large, bright, and pretty expressive on their own, so the idea here is to pick lashes that will lengthen rather than further round out your eyes. Prefer lashes that are longer on the outer corners to help create the illusion of elongated eyes and restore balance. 

A great definition and pulling-outward attention will be achieved with a winged or cat-eye lash. Do avoid very dramatic lashes, which have too much volume in the center, when selecting lashes for round eyes, as that can make your eyes appear even rounder. Instead, go for lashes that will bring out the outer corners, leaving a sultry and elongated appearance of the eyes.

Hooded Eyes

With hooded eyes, there is normally an extra layer of skin that droops over the crease, hence your eyes may look smaller. Apply lashes with a dramatic curl to help lift and open the hooded eyes. A bit longer in the middle, these would help the eyes appear more opened and bright. 

Avoid too much denseness of the lashes. This makes the lids heavier, while light styles add volume to your natural eye shape. A flare at the outer edge will lift and elevate the eyes, creating definition in their shape.

Monolid Eyes

Monolid eyes do not have a prominent crease, and finding lashes that are pretty visible and don't overpower your eyes can be a little challenging. The key for monolid eyes is picking lashes that are long and voluminous with a strong curl; this creates the illusion of some depth and dimension. Look for lashes that are volumized at the base, and your eyes will appear to be more full. 

Don't get anything too heavy that will weigh your lids down; this usually makes your eyes seem smaller or flatter. Go for lightweight styles instead, which would offer lift and an open look without all the weights of excesses on your lids.

Upturned Eyes

Upturned eyes have a natural lift at the outer corners, making them the perfect shape for winged or cat-eye lashes. Lashes longer on the outer corners will work best for you and will add to this shape, making your eyes look even more uplifted and defined. 

Avoid lashes that are very long in the center, as this will detract from the beauty of your upturned eyes. Look instead for styles that enhance your outer corners, making your appearance bolder and more dramatic.

Downturned Eyes

With this kind of eyes, the outer corners tend to angle downwards. So, here, the whole point is: with the correct style of lashes, we need to lift and bring a balance to the eyes. The one that is longer on the outside than the inside, meaning it should angle out to give the lifted, more opened look.

Stay away from heavy straight lashes that can pull your eyes down further. Opt for a winged or flare style that will lift your outer corners. The gentle curl of the lashes can also lift your eyes and make you look more awake and brightened.

Well, with all the lash possibilities, investing a little time to find that perfect match for your eyes would undoubtedly be of difference in how you look.
