The Different Eye Shapes – Which is Mine?

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.

Round Eyes

Round 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. To find more styles that are perfect for your eyes, check out our curated collection of lashes for round eye shapes.

Woman With Upturn Eye Shape - Mademoiselle Lash - eye shape quiz

Upturn Eyes

Upturned 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

Woman With Downturn Eye Shape - Mademoiselle Lash - eye shape quiz

Downturn Eyes

Downturned 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
