Eye Shape Guide

Find your perfect lash style based on your eye shape
  • Almond Eyes

    Almond eyes are characterized by a naturally elongated shape with a tapered inner and outer corner, resembling the shape of an almond. The iris is typically slightly covered by the upper and lower eyelids, creating a balanced and symmetrical appearance. This eye shape is considered versatile and can complement a variety of lash designs.

  • Round Eyes

    Round eyes have a more open appearance, with more visible white space around the iris compared to other eye shapes. The eyes often appear larger and more prominent due to the rounded curvature of the eyelid.

  • Monolid Eyes

    Monolid eyes have little to no visible eyelid crease, creating a smooth eyelid surface between the lash line and brow bone. Some individuals with monolid eyes may have an epicanthic fold, which is a natural fold of skin that partially covers the inner corner of the eye.

  • Hooded Eyes

    Hooded eyes have an extra fold of skin from the brow bone that partially covers the eyelid crease, resulting in less visible lid space when the eyes are open. Some clients with hooded eyes may also have an epicanthic fold.

  • Upturned Eyes

    Upturned eyes have outer corners that naturally angle slightly upward compared to the inner corners, creating a lifted appearance. This eye shape often gives the eyes a naturally elongated and balanced look, with the outer portion of the eye sitting slightly higher than the inner corner.

  • Downturned Eyes

    Downturned eyes have outer corners that naturally angle slightly downward compared to the inner corners. This creates a softer, more relaxed eye appearance. The degree of downward tilt can vary, and some individuals may have a combination of downturned features with other eye shapes.

  • Deep-Set Eyes

    Deep-set eyes are positioned further back beneath the brow bone, creating a more pronounced brow area and a naturally deeper eye appearance. The eyelid space may appear less visible due to the placement of the eyes within the eye socket.

  • Protruding Eyes

    Protruding eyes, also known as prominent eyes, sit further forward within the eye socket, creating a more noticeable and open appearance. The eyes may appear larger due to their forward positioning, with a more visible eyelid area compared to deep-set eyes.

Beauty Advice

Your lash questions answered

Choose lashes based on your eye shape and desired look. Natural styles work for everyday wear, while wispy or dramatic styles are perfect for special occasions.

Natural lashes have a uniform length for a subtle enhancement, while wispy lashes feature varying lengths that create a fluttery, textured appearance.

DIY lashes offer individual cluster application for a customized look, while strip lashes provide quick, full-band application. Choose based on your skill level and time available.

Avoid oil-based products, gently remove makeup, store lashes properly in their case, and clean them after each use to extend their lifespan.

Yes! Choose shorter, natural styles that won't brush against your lenses. Avoid overly long or dramatic lashes that may interfere with your frames.

Start with strip lashes, measure and trim to fit your eye, apply a thin layer of adhesive, wait 30 seconds, then place from the center outward using tweezers or an applicator.

Use latex-free adhesive if you have sensitive skin. Clear adhesive is great for natural looks, while black adhesive creates an eyeliner effect.

With proper care, quality lashes can be worn 15-20 times. Clean them gently after each use and store them in their original case to maintain their shape.

It's not recommended to sleep in false lashes as it can damage both the lashes and your natural lashes. Always remove them before bed.

Gently soak a cotton pad with oil-free makeup remover, hold it on your lash line for 30 seconds, then carefully peel the lash from the outer corner inward.

Apply mascara to your natural lashes before applying false lashes. This helps them blend together. Avoid applying mascara directly to false lashes to preserve them.

Trim the lash band from the outer edge to fit your eye width. You can also trim individual lash fibers if they're too long for your preference.

Yes! Choose hypoallergenic, latex-free adhesive and high-quality lashes. Do a patch test first and avoid lashes with heavy bands or irritating materials.

Gently remove adhesive residue with tweezers, soak in micellar water for a few minutes, pat dry with a clean towel, and reshape before storing in the case.

Mink lashes are made from real fur and offer a natural, lightweight feel. Synthetic lashes are vegan-friendly, more affordable, and hold their curl better.

Lash Troubleshooting Guide

Find solutions to common issues with your lashes

Clusters won't stick

Make sure your natural lashes are clean and oil-free. Apply a thin layer of lash bond and wait 30 seconds before applying clusters.

Clusters falling off too quickly

Avoid getting lashes wet for the first 24 hours. Use oil-free makeup remover and apply lash sealant for longer wear.

Lash band too long for my eye

Measure the lash against your eye and trim from the outer edge. Always cut small amounts at a time.

Band won't stay down at corners

Flex the lash band back and forth before applying. Apply extra glue to the corners and hold for 30 seconds.

Lashes losing their curl

Avoid getting mink lashes wet. Store them properly in their case. You can gently re-curl them using a heated lash curler on low setting.

Lashes look dirty or clumpy

Clean your mink lashes after each use with a gentle oil-free cleanser. Use a clean spoolie to brush through and reshape.

Wispy effect looks too sparse

Layer multiple wispies for fuller coverage. Start from the outer corner and work inward. Mix different lengths for dimension.

Lashes poking or irritating eyes

Trim the inner corner lashes shorter. Make sure the band is properly adhered and not lifting.
