How To Pick The Perfect False Lashes For Your Eye Shape

There’s no question that a great set of lashes will get you a tonne of compliments. But if yours are more short and stubby than long and luscious, you might need to help nature out a little with a set of falsies. While they can be a little scary at first, all it takes is a quality product like MODELROCK Lashes, and a little bit of practice. Promise. Read on for our guide to nailing glamorous peepers, no matter your eye shape.

Get to know your eye shape

Is there a crease in your eyelid?

No? Then you have MONOLID eyes. Your celebrity spirit animal is Lindsay Price.

When looking directly in the mirror, can you see your entire iris?

If the answer is yes, you have ROUND eyes. Your celebrity spirit animal is Nicole Richie.

If part of the iris disappears under the upper and lower lids, you have ALMOND eyes. Your celebrity spirit animal is Eva Longoria.

This is where things get tricky.

Other than your overall shape, your eyes may also be UPTURNED, DOWNTURNED, OR HOODED. Me? I have round, hooded, downturned peepers.

If you draw a line across the centre of your eye, does the outer edge slope to the ceiling or the floor?

This is how to determine if you have UPTURNED eyes like Angelina or DOWNTURNED eyes like Camilla Belle.

Finally, when you look in the mirror, is your eyelid crease visible?

If not, and you can’t see much of your upper lid, you have hooded eyes in the style of Blake Lively.

So now you know your eye shape, how do you choose the best false lashes to amplify your look?

You friends at MODELROCK Lashes have a HUGE selection of high-quality false lashes and accessories to suit any eye shape and occasion, whether you’re after just a little boost, or want to give Kim Kardashian a run for her money. Here are our picks from the range.  

MONOLID

Gals with monolid eyes will usually have straight lashes that point downwards, so applying a great set of falsies can be a stunning transformation. Try a full set of fine, flirty lashes, with great curl. This will create the appearance of a crease in the lid.

ROUND

Play up your doll-like peepers with some long, dramatic lashes that splay upwards rather than fanning out. Keep them long and lush but not overly heavy or you’ll make your eyes appear smaller. 

ALMOND

This is generally considered the ideal eye shape, and like oval faces, the almond eye looks killer no matter how you choose to highlight it. Try playing up your gorge feline eyes with some long single lashes in the outer corners only. A stainless steel false eyelash applicator is also a wise investment when you’re starting out.

HOODED

Frame your hooded eyes with a set of lashes with varying lengths, like the gorgeous Luna Luxe double layered lashes from MODELROCK. Individual lashes also work well for hooded ladies, when applied to the outer lower corners for a fluttery, wide-eyed look.

UPTURNED OR DOWNTURNED

Falsies with a spiky look are ideal for giving a lift to downturned eyes.

Upturned eyes look fab with extra volume in the outer corner of their eyes.

So there you have it. The best lash looks for you and your unique eye shape. But remember, rules are made to be broken and experimentation, when it comes to beauty, is always a good idea. Have fun, bellas!
