Let’s explore how to match eyelash extensions to your eye shape for that flawless, natural beauty enhancement. 

Eye shapes and their ideal lash styles 

  1. Almond eyes 

Description: These eyes resemble the shape of an almond, being wider in the middle and tapering at the ends. 

Recommended lash style & curl: Almond eyes are versatile and suit most styles. The doll-eye or hybrid looks with a mix of C and D curls will accentuate their natural symmetry beautifully. 

  1. Downturned eyes 

Description: The outer corners of these eyes tend to draw downwards. 

Recommended lash style & curl: Opt for cat-eye or squirrel styles with a D curl to lift and balance the downturn, creating a captivating look. 

  1. Upturned eyes 

Description: These eyes have outer corners that lift upwards. 

Recommended lash style & curl: The cat-eye or hybrid look with a C curl will perfectly accentuate the natural lift of upturned eyes. 

  1. Round eyes  

Description: These eyes are noticeably round and more circular in shape. 

Recommended lash style & curl: A doll-eye look with J or C curls will open up round eyes even more, adding depth and allure. 

Eye spacing and suitable lash styles 

  1. Close-set eyes 

Description: Eyes that are closer to the nose, with less space between (usually smaller than the size of your eye). 

Recommended lash style & curl: A squirrel style or cat-eye with a C or D curl will draw the gaze outward, creating a balanced and harmonious appearance. 

  1. Deep-set eyes 

Description: Eyes set deeper into the skull, often accentuating the brow bone. 

Recommended lash style & curl: Staggered or hybrid lash looks with D curls are ideal for making the lashes visible and prominent under the brow bone. 

  1. Protruding eyes 

Description: Eyes that appear to project outward in the eye socket. 

Recommended lash style & curl: A Natural or doll-eye with J or C curls offers a subtle yet stunning enhancement. 

  1. Wide-set eyes 

Description: A bigger space between the eyes (usually bigger than the size of your eye). 

Recommended lash style & curl: A doll-eye or Hybrid lash look with C curls can bring attention towards the centre, creating a beautifully balanced look. 

Eyelids and lash extension choices 

  1. Hooded eyelids 

Description: Excess skin folding down from the brow bone to the lash line. 

Recommended lash style & curl: A cat-eye or squirrel style with D curls will lift and open up hooded eyes, offering a stunning transformation. 

  1. Monolid/single lid 

Description: An eyelid without a visible crease. 

Recommended lash style & curl: A staggered or doll-eye look with C or D curls adds depth and dimension, perfect for monolids. 

Matching lash styles to your natural lash curl 

  1. Downward growing lashes 

Recommended lash style & curl: A doll-eye or cat-eye with a D curl are excellent for countering the downward slope, giving a lifted and lively look. 

  1. Upward growing lashes 

Recommended lash style & curl: These lashes are flexible in terms of style; natural, hybrid, or squirrel styles with J or C curls can create a more dramatic and expressive effect.
