Have you ever wondered why some lashes make your eyes look like you just stepped off a runway, while others don’t vibe the same way? It’s all about finding the perfect match for your eye shape! Choosing the right lash style can be a total game-changer, taking your look from “cute” to “wow!” Let’s dive into this lash guide so you can find your perfect pair and let your eyes do the talking.

Understanding Your Eye Shape

First things first—what’s your eye shape? Knowing this is key to picking lashes that’ll flatter and enhance your natural beauty. There are a few main eye shapes to consider: almond, round, hooded, monolid, downturned, upturned, close-set, and wide-set. Each of these shapes can totally rock a specific lash style that brings out its best features.

Lash Styles for Almond Eyes

Almond eyes are naturally fierce—think of them as the supermodels of eye shapes. With slightly pointed ends, your eyes already have a sultry vibe.

• Recommended Lashes: PaintLab’s Big Energy Magnetic Eyelashes are perfect for you! They’re flared just enough to add a dash of drama without overpowering your natural shape.
• Application Tips: Place the lashes starting from the middle of your lash line and work outwards to accentuate that almond shape.

Lash Styles for Round Eyes

Round eyes are all about that doe-eyed, innocent look. They’re larger and more open, which is great for pulling off some seriously playful lash styles.

• Recommended Lashes: Go for Lushy Lashes by PaintLab. These wispy lashes will add a subtle lift and elongate your eyes, giving you that perfect balance between wide-eyed and dreamy.
• Application Tips: Apply the lashes slightly toward the outer corner to help elongate and give a more almond-like appearance.

Lash Styles for Hooded Eyes

Hooded eyes have a unique charm, with the crease hidden under the upper lid. The key here is to open up your eyes with the right lashes.

• Recommended Lashes: Our It Girl Magnetic Eyelashes is your new bestie! These curled, big eyelashes will lift your eyes and keep them looking bright and awake.
• Application Tips: Apply the lashes closer to your natural lash line to avoid any droopiness. Keep the length shorter to avoid overshadowing your eyes.

Lash Styles for Monolid Eyes

Monolid eyes have a sleek, smooth surface without a prominent crease, which makes them super versatile for lash styles.

• Recommended Lashes: PaintLab’s Miranda Lashes are fab for you! This dainty pair adds the right amount of volume to give your eyes that sweet and fluttery look.
• Application Tips: Focus on adding lashes with multi-layers to create a more defined shape and make your eyes stand out.

Lash Styles for Downturned Eyes

If your eyes are downturned, meaning the outer corners tilt down slightly, the goal is to lift and brighten.

• Recommended Lashes: Try our Dreamboat Magnetic Lashes. Full and flared, these lashes are perfect for lifting the outer corners of your eyes, giving you a naturally lifted look.
• Application Tips: Apply the lashes slightly upward at the ends to create an uplifting effect, giving your eyes a more balanced look.

Lash Styles for Upturned Eyes

Upturned eyes naturally have a lifted look, with the outer corners higher than the inner ones—lucky you!

• Recommended Lashes: PaintLab’s Frenchie Magnetic Eyelashes will enhance your eye shape by accentuating that natural lift. These balanced lashes will give your eyes a glamorous flair without overdoing it.
• Application Tips: Focus on applying the lashes evenly along your lash line to maintain that stunning upturned effect.

Lash Styles for Close-Set Eyes

If your eyes are close-set, meaning the space between them is less than one eye width apart, you’ll want to create the illusion of more space.

• Recommended Lashes: Our Bae Magnetic Lashes are calling your name! These big eyelashes are longer at the outer corners, perfect for making your eyes appear more spaced out.
• Application Tips: Keep the inner corners light and focus the length and volume on the outer edges to create balance.

Lash Styles for Wide-Set Eyes

Wide-set eyes have a lot of space between them, which gives you room to play with bringing the focus inward.

• Recommended Lashes: Our Lavender Love Lashes will work wonders. These lashes have volume until towards the inner corners, helping to bring your eyes closer together. To switch things up, the lavender set can really open up your eyes and make your look more fun!
• Application Tips: Apply the lashes with more focus on the inner corners to bring balance to your look.

Final Tips for Lash Application

• Trim to Fit: Always trim your lashes to fit your eye size for a perfect, natural fit.
• Adhesive Essentials: Don’t overdo it with the glue. Just a thin line will keep them in place all day.
• Caring for Your Lashes: Reuse your lashes by gently cleaning them after each use to maintain their shape and longevity.

Lashes are like the cherry on top of your makeup look, and choosing the right pair for your eye shape is the ultimate beauty hack.
