False eyelashes can make your eyes look more stunning and bigger in an instant – we all know their magic! Now there are so many different styles of false eyelashes available on the market, and so we have plenty of options to choose from to achieve the perfect eye look that we want. For example, I have almond-shaped eyes and I am more inclined to individual false lashes or a wispy, tapered lash to wear on a daily basis, but I’ll switch it up for a voluminous and fuller lash for nights out.

Sounds good right? However, the truth is that NOT all eyelashes will suit your eye shape. Finding the perfect style for you doesn’t need to be difficult, so here we will break it down and cover how you can determine your eye shape and find the right pair of falsies for you. Read on to discover which false eyelashes will flatter your eye shape and whether you have hooded, round, almond, deep-set, or monolid eyes.

Hooded Eye Shape

If your eyelid crease is not visible while you have your eyes open, then your eye shape is hooded.

Hooded eyes look mysterious and pretty, but hooded eyes can naturally make the eyes appear smaller due to a less visible or hidden crease. If you have a hooded eye shape, then go for falsies that have longer lashes in the center and taper at the end to make your eyes pop. Individual lashes or cluster lashes will also work well for you, as you can build up your lashes to create your desired look.

Round Eye Shape

Round eyes are a versatile eye shape with amazing dimensions. As the name implies, the inner and outer corners of round eyes are rounded and not pointed. Wispy and winged false lashes are ideal for people with a round eye shape. These styles of lashes will elongate your eyes and enhance your depth further. It is best to avoid wearing heavy or thick false lash styles, as these could overwhelm your lash line, weighing your eyes down and making your eyes looks visually smaller.

Almond Eye Shape

Almond-shaped eyes resemble the shape of an almond. These eyes feature a lightly pointed outer end and a wider center. Almond eyes are the most common eye shape, and they are very versatile. There is a wide range of false eyelashes that will look great on you if you have almond-shaped eyes. You can freely choose any length or depth to achieve any look you want to go for. Wear a classic winged style for the perfect cat eye or opt for a fluffier lash for an attention-grabbing-dramatic eye look!

Deep-set Eye Shape

Deep-set eyes are large and tend to be set slightly deeper into the eye socket, creating the illusion of a more prominent brow bone. With deep-set eyes, the ends of the natural lashes are more likely to touch the top of the eyelids. Due to this, a false lash that is longer in the middle with a strong curl looks great on deep-set eyes. Individual or cluster lashes also work really well for deep-set eyes as you can focus on applying lashes to the center for a curly lift.

Monolid Eye Shape

The monolid eye shape has no visible crease and is often described as flat on the surface. The eyelashes of monolids tend to be naturally straight and they may appear shorter, as the eyelid partially covers the bottom of the natural lashes. When it comes to picking flattering false lashes for monolid eyes, we recommend shying away from multi-layered lashes, as denser lashes could make your eyelids look weighed down. Choosing a pair of false lashes that are longer on the outer edges with plenty of curl, or individual fluttery lashes that crisscross will enhance your eyes.
