Which Types of Lashes are Right for You?

When shopping for lashes online try not to get overwhelmed with the amount of different styles there are on offer. The reason for different lash styles is that there are quite a variety of different eye shapes and personal styles. Start with matching up your eye shape with the chart below then reading what style of lash will most likely suit your eye shape. Lash Lovers- can we also keep in mind while we are talking lashes, that we should be supporting Cruelty Free cosmetic businesses. Stick to Cruelty Free lashes, there is no need to wear little Minks on your face- these animals are truly slaughtered just for the sake of lash sales. That said…. moving on;

For every eye shape there is a lash style to suit and compliment the eye, some females and males are lucky enough to pull off any style which are mostly almond shape eyes, while others have a specific style, we recommend you shop around for.

Here’s a tip;

ALMOND or AVERAGE EYES

Any lash style will suit you from natural/minimum to full and over dramatic thickness

WIDE SET EYES

Eyes that are pulled away from each other. Draw your eyes closer together with a full inner lash

CLOSE SET EYES

Eyes that sit close to each other, close to the nose. To draw your eyes wider apart use lash styles that start off shorter on the inner of the eye and wing out on the outer eye

ROUND / PROMINENT EYES

Round eyes, dolly eyes are usually cute and fresh to make eyes appear more almond go for a full lash style and liner to close the eye in

DEEP SET EYES

These are eyes that can look sunken into the socket. To open your eye, choose a full lash or a dolly lash

HOODED / MONOLID EYES

to give yourself a more open eye do not use anything too heavy- use minimal lashes on hooded eyes

DOWNTURN / DROOPY

Place your outer lash a little higher to give the look of an eye turning up (not down), use lashes that wing out then define with a liner
