Hey! We have one question for you...

Do you know the shape of your eyes?

This may seem like a silly question, but you'd be surprised how many people don't actually know their correct eye shape! If you're reading this and don't know what yours is...don't worry, we're here to help!

But before we get into all of that, let's first understand why it's important to know the shape of your eyes.

Why Does Eye Shape Matter?

We get this question often.

"What are the different types of eye shapes? What shape are my eyes? Why is it important for me to know my eye shape? I have Asian eyes, which lash style is best for me?"

When it comes to applying makeup, knowing your eye shape is very helpful.

Once you know what your natural eye shape is, you can learn the right applications and techniques that are most flattering for you!

What else do you know? ?

It will also help determine which lashes look the most to truly accentuate your natural beauty!

While everyone has lashes, that doesn't always mean every lash is right for every eye shape.

Depending on the shape of your false eyelashes, your makeup can dramatically improve the shape of your eyes, unfortunately...it can also do the opposite.

Just like knowing your waistline when trying on that new dress you just bought, knowing the correct eye shape is important when grooming your eyes with lashes!

So without further ado, let's get started!

The Six Most Common Eye Shapes

We went on to outline the six most common eye shape categories that people fit into.

In case you were wondering, yes, there can be more than one eye shape.

While this can be a little tricky, we assure you that knowing your eye shape will make things a lot easier in the long run…

...and you'll be able to choose from more eyelash styles that will dazzle you!

Eye Shape #1 - Almond Eyes

Almond Eyes

Almond eyes are considered the most ideal eye shape because you can pretty much pull off any eyeshadow look.

And believe me, this is a huge plus!

Almond eyes have an oval shape with a slightly upturned outer corner.

In addition to being able to pull off stunning eyeshadow looks, almond eyes lend themselves perfectly to just about any lash style (lucky you)!

Yep, just about every lash style will be flattering on almond eyes. Your choice of lash style will be decided by what you feel the most confident wearing. ;)

Yes, almost every lash style will be flattering on almond eyes. The lash style you choose will depend on how you are most confident wearing it. ;)

We suggest: SPARKLER and ON POINT

Eye Shape #2 - Prominent Eyes

Prominent Eyes

Prominent eyes give the appearance of protruding eyelids.

Any makeup look with this eye shape will be very noticeable as the lids will appear on top.

This creates more shelves for your lashes.

The prominent eye shape can make even the lightest false eyelashes appear larger or more dramatic than the actual eyelashes.

In the same way, eye-catching lashes look less thick because the eyes and lashes share the spotlight.

We suggest HEARTBEAT

Eye Shape #3 - Hooded Eyes

Hooded Eyes

Hooded eyes tend to have heavier lids.

Heavier lids tend to create the illusion of smaller creases, reducing the makeup look and space for lashes.

But don't worry, no matter the shape of their eyes, everyone has tons of lashes and makeup!

For those with eye patches, it's important to choose lashes that are thicker at the roots. The dense base works against the lid without being covered by the lighter base like the lashes.

These lashes will really enhance your eyes and keep you entertained!

We suggest BOSS

Eye Shape #4 - Monolid Eyes

Monolid Eyes

Monolid eyes tend to have little to no crease.

The eyes are not set back like other eye shapes, so the eyebrows are less prominent. This creates a smooth finish for makeup and lashes.

The popular makeup trend "cut wrinkle" is perfect for this eye shape.

Many times, people with monolids love the creativity that makeup allows them to have with regard to eye space.

More dramatic lashes look best on monolids eyes, as it provides some dimension to the eye without overwhelming the eye's look.

We suggest QUEEN A and LASH GOALS

Eye Shape #5 - Deep Set Eyes

Deep Set Eyes

Deep Set eyes are larger and deeper into the eye sockets, creating the illusion of a more prominent brow bone.

Since the eyes are farther apart, you need to make sure that the lashes you choose have enough volume to be seen, but not so much that they touch the brows.

Thin or medium-density lashes look best on deeply defined eye shapes.

Deep Sets can be a little tricky, so be sure to try different ones and see which ones you like best.

We suggest HONEYMOON and WAVES

Eye Shape #6 - Downturned Eyes

Downturned Eyes

Downturned eyes point towards the outer corners of the eyes.

They usually have a more rounded shape on the bottom lash line.

When applying makeup and eyelashes, our advice is to focus on the eyes and face.

With the outer corners angled down, you need to make sure the lashes are rounded to create the illusion of lift. Otherwise, the eyes will look tired, especially if the eyelashes are too long.

We suggest SPARKLER

So there you have it!

We hope you can identify at least one of these eye shapes and find out which lash style and makeup look best for you!
