How to Choose the Right Strip Lashes for Your Eye Shape

Just like finding the perfect pair of shoes, discovering lashes that enhance your unique eye shape may take a bit of experimentation. The good news? It’s a skill anyone can master with ease. So, whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner, you’re in for a delightful experience that lets you discover the faux lash meant just for you.

Yep, strip eyelashes might have gotten a bit technical, but trust us — they make all the difference. Give these tips a try and let us know how they work for you!

ALMOND EYES:
Almond eyes are a highly versatile eye shape envied by many. They perfectly blend with a wide range of faux eyelashes that complement their unique, coveted shape. Moreover, if you have almond eyes, you have the best canvas for creating a ‘stunning cat-eye look.’

To identify almond eyes, look for these signs:

  • Almond eyes have a narrow width, giving them an elongated appearance.
  • The outer corners of the almond eyes are slightly pointed.
  • They usually have a broader part in the middle, highlighting their unique shape.
  • The upper and lower eyelids gently frame the iris, hiding any white above or below it.

Now that you know your almond eyes and their features, it’s time to choose the perfect strip eyelashes to bring out their natural beauty. Since almond eyes are so versatile, you can select lashes with any length and depth. Opt for lashes with an even distribution of volume and length all across the band to enhance the natural curve of your almond-shaped eyes.

ROUND EYES:

If you can see the white around your iris, you probably have round eyes. These eye shapes are known for their playful charm and the goal of round eyes is to strike a perfect balance! To accentuate this feature, we recommend opting for curly and uplifting faux lash styles.

How to Identify round eyes:-

  • You have a more extensive set of eyes.
  • Round eyes often reveal more white areas below the iris, creating an open and welcoming gaze.
  • With similar height and width around the iris, it creates a well-balanced, youthful look.

Steer clear of thick, voluminous lashes to avoid diminishing the appearance of your lash line. Highlight the depth of your eyes by going for wispy-shaped lashes. This will create more drama towards the outer corners and give you a more subtle and elongated cat-eye effect.

HOODED EYES:

Hooded eyes are characterized by a fold of skin that covers part or all of the eyelid, making the crease less visible. This can give the eyes a closed or heavy appearance. To make your eyes appear more open, we recommend you opt for shorter, more natural-looking strip lashes instead of long, dramatic ones that can pull your eyes down and make them look smaller. Key characteristics to look out for:

  • When your eyes are fully open, the crease in the eyelid isn’t easily visible.
  • Hooded eyes usually have a noticeable brow bone, giving your gaze more depth.
  • See some extra skin right above your eye crease? That’s a clear sign of hooded eyes, giving them a unique charm.

Fluttery lashes should be your go-to option, as their slightly longer center creates an illusion of depth, making your eyes appear more prominent instead of closed and weighed down.

MONOLID EYES:

Most common among Asian ethnicities, monolid eyes have a unique charm to them. You have monolid eyes if the crease on your upper eyelid isn’t visible. Much like an open canvas, you can opt for many different lash styles.

Here are some telltale signs of monolid eyes:

  • Usually without a noticeable crease, giving ample space for elaborative eye looks.
  • The skin perfectly covers the upper eyelid area.
  • If your natural lashes are straight, you might have stunning monolid eyes.

With monolid eyes, turn down the double-layered, denser lashes. It will make your eyes look heavy and small. Opt for fluttery faux eyelashes with criss-cross layers. Lighter, less dramatic lashes will open the eye. Also, always curl your lashes once they’re on.
