Identifying Your Eye Shape
Eye shapes determine how lashes interact with your features. Common types include:
Round Eyes: Larger, circular with whites visible around the iris.
Almond Eyes: Oval with pointed corners and no visible whites at edges.
Hooded Eyes: Upper lid droops, covering the crease.
Monolid Eyes: Smooth lid without a visible crease or fold.
Downturned Eyes: Outer corners slope downward for a softer look.
Upturned Eyes: Outer corners angle upward, like a natural cat-eye.
Stand in front of a mirror and compare your eyes to these descriptions for the best match.
Tailored Lash Styles for Each Eye Shape
1. Round Eyes
Ideal Styles: Natural, Wispy, or Doll Eye with center emphasis.
Round eyes appear wide and open, so avoid excess drama that widens them further. Go for lashes longer in the center and shorter
at inner/outer corners to elongate and create an "open-eye" effect. Use a C or D curl for soft lift and volume without overwhelming.
Cat-eye flares at the outer corners also balance the shape, adding playfulness.
2. Almond Eyes
Ideal Styles: Dramatic Cat-Eye, Voluminous, or Doll Eye.
The most versatile shape handles nearly any style. Accentuate symmetry with longer lashes at the outer corners for a winged
cat-eye lift using D or L+ curls. For subtlety, taper from short inner to long outer corners. Doll eye (center-focused) brightens, while
natural sets enhance without overpowering.
3. Hooded Eyes
Ideal Styles: Voluminous Russian Volume or Mega Volume.
The drooping lid hides lashes, so bold volume opens the eyes. Dramatic styles add lift and make the lash line visible, creating a
larger, awakened appearance.Wispy variations provide subtle drama if full volume feels intense.
4. Monolid Eyes
Ideal Styles: Natural Wispy, Classic, or Hybrid.
Without a crease, focus on volume and definition. Wispy or hybrid sets add length and texture without bulk, enhancing smoothness
common in East Asian eyes.
5. Downturned Eyes
Ideal Styles: Cat-Eye or Wispy with outer lift.
Counter the downward tilt with longer, curled lashes at the outer corners for an uplifted, energetic vibe. This creates balance and
avoids a "sad" look. Doll eye in the center adds subtle openness.
6. Upturned Eyes
Ideal Styles: Cat-Eye or Voluminous Outer Focus.
Enhance the natural feline upward tilt with added length and volume at outer corners for sophistication. Wispy spikes lift further
without exaggeration.
Lash Mapping Tips for Customization
Cat-Eye: Gradual lengthening to outer corners—ideal for elongating round, almond, or downturned eyes.
Doll Eye: Center peaks for open, youthful round or hooded eyes.
Wispy: Feathery spikes for natural volume across shapes.
Consult a professional lash artist for a custom map based on your features. With the right style, your eyes will shine brighter thanever.
