How to Choose the Right Lash Style for Your Eye Shape?

ecause lashes should be designed to enhance your features, not overpower them.

At Winked Studio, lash extensions aren’t just about adding length or volume. They are about creating balance and enhancing what’s already beautiful. One of the key factors in creating a custom lash look is understanding your eye shape.

Whether you love a natural enhancement or a dramatic transformation, here’s how to choose the right lash style for your unique features.

Almond Eyes

You have: Eyes that taper at both corners with a slightly lifted outer edge and a visible crease.

Best lash style: Almond eyes are the most versatile and suit almost every lash map. Cat Eye and Doll Eye styles look especially flattering by enhancing your natural symmetry.

We recommend:

Classic or hybrid sets
Medium to long lengths
C or D curl for an elegant lift

Hooded Eyes

You have: A fold of skin that droops over the crease, making the eyelid appear smaller when your eyes are open.

Best lash style: The goal is to lift and open the eye. A Doll Eye or Open Eye style with longer lashes in the center creates the illusion of a more lifted, rounded eye.

We recommend:

Hybrid or volume sets
D or L curl for a noticeable lift
Avoid long outer lashes that can drag the eye downward

Round Eyes

You have: Large, wide-open eyes where the whites are visible around most of the iris.

Best lash style: A Cat Eye shape adds elongation and balances the openness of your eyes for a more sultry and defined look.

We recommend:

Hybrid or volume sets
Shorter lashes on the inner corner
Gradual length increase toward the outer corner with a C curl

Monolid Eyes

You have: Eyes with little to no visible crease and a smooth, flat eyelid.

Best lash style: Lift and dimension are key. A textured lash map with layered lengths and a strong curl creates depth and openness.

We recommend:

Volume sets for fullness
L or D curl to help lashes pop
A wispy, airy design with varied lengths
