The Different Eye Shapes – Which is Mine?
When we think about the "type" of eyes that someone has, we usually only consider color. But people’s eye shapes can be surprisingly different and varied too.
When you’re buying false eyelashes, it’s important to know which type of eye shape you have. Just like how a dress might look best on a particular body type, different lash styles look best on certain eye shapes.
Use our lash guide below to find your eye shape, and we'll recommend the best false eyelash styles for you.
Find Your Shape
What's my eye shape?
Monolid Eyes
If you don't have a crease (an indentation at the top of your eyelids), your search ends here – you have monolid eyes.
Almond Eyes
When you look straight ahead at the mirror, if you can't see the whites of your eyes below the iris (the colored part), you have almond shaped eyes.
Hooded Eyes
If your eyelid crease is not visible when your eyes are open, then your eye shape is hooded. You'll look great in lashes that are long in the center and taper at both ends, giving the illusion of added depth.
Upturned Eyes
If you placed a straight line across the center of your eyes, would the outer corners by your temples be above or below the line, or right on it? If your answer is above the line, you have upturned eyes.
Lash Guide
Which false eyelashes suit my eye shape?
Whichever type of eye shape you have, here are our recommendations on eyelashes to choose from that will best enhance and frame those gorgeous eyes of yours!
Round EyesRound eyes have amazing dimension! Enhance this depth further by avoiding very thick false lashes, which could overwhelm your lash line and make your eyes appear smaller. Instead, look for wispy and winged eyelashes. Our Tina and Mandee reusable eyelashes will draw out the length of your lash line perfectly, creating a gorgeous cat’s eye shape that will open your eyes even more.

Hooded EyesHooded eyes are sultry and mysterious. Flaunt that mystique by really emphasizing your natural shape, with faux lashes that are long in the center and taper at both ends. Our Robin and Emma Lashes combine long and short lash lengths in this way, precisely layered to create the illusion of depth. They’re also a subtle blend of black and brown, for a more natural look. We've curated a collection of lash style that are suited for your hooded eye shape here. |

Monolid EyesLucky you – monolids are an open canvas! However, although you could create a crease with any lash style, we would recommend shying away from really dense lashes that could make your eyelids appear weighed down. Instead, get the drama you’re looking for with a lighter, crisscross design such as our Mila and Tina eyelashes, paired with winged eyeliner to subtly emphasize your lash line. Want more choices? Check out our curated lash collection create specifically for monolid eye shapes. |

Almond EyesAlmond eyes are the most universal shape and are blessed with versatility – a wide variety of false eyelashes will work for you. However, the best lashes style is one that takes full advantage of your catlike stare: voluminous lashes with winged ends! Pick the Jenai, Mila or Tina, all reusable eyelashes styles that will create exceptional drama and mystery. Here's a curated collection of styles that will look beautiful on your almond shaped eyes. |

Upturn EyesUpturned eyes are another incredibly versatile eye shape, since they are very similar to almond eyes except with an upward lift at the outermost corner. 3D lashes that gradually increase in length towards the outer edges, in a classic winged shape, will best emphasize this upward flick. Try our Jenai, Mandee or Tina lashes which will all highlight your natural, catlike eye shape, and give them a beautiful extra lift that you didn’t even know you were looking for! Even more lash options are waiting for you in our curated collection for Upturn eyes. |

Downturn EyesDownturned eyes are that captivating, vintage-esque shape you see on all of the movie starlets from the 1920s. False eyelashes that are too dense and heavy will only highlight the downturn, so for a more modern look, stick with lashes that are wispy and natural-looking. To give your outer corners a helpful lift, try our Robin or Jenai vegan silk eyelashes – these are both low-volume, criss-cross lash designs that are best described as ‘spiky’. With the longest lashes at the center of the eye, they provide a subtle all-over lift to your entire eye. Even more options are available in our curated collection specifically made for downturn eye shapes. |
