How To Choose The Right Lash Style For Your Eye Shape?
N
ot all lashes are created equal and here’s how to pick the perfect set for your eyes.
When it comes to lash extensions, it’s not just about going longer or fuller, it’s about creating harmony with your natural features. At Winked Studio, every lash set is custom mapped to suit your eye shape, face symmetry, and personal style.
Whether you want soft and natural or full glam, here’s how to choose the right lash style for your eye shape.
👁️ 1. Almond Eyes
You have: Eyes that are slightly pointed at the outer corners and wider in the center.
Best style: You can rock almost anything!
Almond eyes are naturally balanced, making them the most versatile for lash designs. A Doll Eye or Cat Eye style can both enhance your shape beautifully.
Try:
- Classic or hybrid sets
- Gradual lengthening toward the outer corners
- C curl for an open effect
👁️ 2. Hooded Eyes
You have: A fold of skin that partially covers the eyelid when your eyes are open.
Best style: Open up and lift.
Go for a Doll Eye or Open Eye style to lift and brighten the eyes. Lashes should be longer in the center with a strong curl (like D or L curls) to give a visible lift.
Try:
- Volume lashes to add depth
- Longer lengths at the center
- Avoid very long outer lashes (they can make eyes look heavier)
👁️ 3. Round Eyes
You have: Eyes that appear more circular, often with more white visible around the iris.
Best style: Add length and elongation.
To create balance, opt for a Cat Eye shape that extends the lash line outward. This softens the roundness and adds allure.
Try:
- Hybrid or volume sets
- Gradual length increase toward the outer corners
- Softer curls (C or CC) to avoid exaggerating the roundness
👁️ 4. Monolid Eyes
You have: A flatter lid with little to no visible crease.
Best style: Create depth and lift.
Monolids benefit from dense, layered lashes and bold curls to add definition. A Textured Volume set using shorter inner lashes and wispy outer corners works beautifully.
Try:
- Volume lashes for dimension
- D or L curl for extra lift
- Varying lengths to create texture and movement
