How To Find Your Eye Shape & Customise Your Lashes
The ultimate goal in any lash application is to create symmetry where it may be lacking. Lashes are an excellent tool for achieving this. Elizabeth Chandler points out how “lashes can create interest and distract from asymmetry and the wispiness of The Spiky , Soft Volume, and Natural can help balance any discrepancies.” Take a look at Elizabeth Chandler’s advice below on how to achieve a flattering look with your lashes based on your eye shape.
Round - You will be able to see whites below the iris
Advice: Length at the outer corner is a great look and will create balance and drama, avoiding excessive length in the centre.
Protruding - You will be able to see the entire lash from tip to root when looking directly in the mirror; you may even see the wet line when looking head-on.
Advice: Opt for short lashes with The Soft Volume from bonded-products at the base, avoiding length in the middle section.
Deep-set - Place tweezers or a pencil vertically along your brow line and cheek. If you can open and close your eyes without the lashes touching the tweezers, your eyes are deep set.
Advice: Choose longer lashes than you think you need. If your lashes are also straight, go for a curly lash.
Hooded - The mobile lid (where eyeshadow is applied) is not visible, as the skin droops over it. This may apply to one or both eyes.
Advice: A hooded eye will benefit from length placed directly under the most hooded area.
Downturned - If you draw an imaginary line through the centre of the iris the outer corner will turn downward
Advice: Avoid excessive length at the outer corner to prevent a droopy look. Keep the length in the middle, dropping down a millimetre or two at the outer eye.
Upturned - If you draw an imaginary line through the centre of the iris, the outer corner of the eye turns upward.
Advice: If you want a cat eye look then go for it. For a more natural look, focus length on the outer third, climaxing before the last third, and then introduce slightly shorter lashes at the outer edge.
Close-set - The distance between your eyes is shorter than the width of one eye
Advice: Avoid busy lashes at the inner corner; concentrate on the outer corners.
Wide-set - The distance between your eyes is wider than the width of one eye.
Advice: Maintain a steady length throughout, avoiding excessive length at the outer corners.
Almond - Almond eyes have slightly raised outer corners that lift upwards and outwards. The iris touches both the top and bottom of the eyelid, with no white showing at the top or bottom.
Advice: Almond-shaped eyes can work with any style, but understanding the tilt (upturned, downturned, or classic) will guide your choice of length, often reducing or eliminating the need for mascara.
