Lash Guide - Selecting the Right Lash

Lash Guide - Selecting the Right Lash

Read below to find out more about selecting a lash for your eye shape and which liner shape to use.

EYE SHAPE: MONOLID/ HOODED

A mono-lid eye has a smaller eyelid with a less defined socket, My Secret Lashes recommends shying away from really dense lashes that could make your eyelids appear to be weighed down. Lashes such as Valentino or Claira that have various different lengths will help you achieve the ultimate look, also trying lashes that intertwine with one another such as the Josie work well to.

What Liner shape should you use?

A small cat-eyed wing that is a super sharp triangle shape on the outer corner of the eye but commences with a rather thick line from the inner corner of the eye!

EYE SHAPE: ALMOND/UPTURNED EYES

Almond and Upturned eyes are typically symmetrical and offer a decent amount of lid space that rarely changes when the eyes are opened which give you lots of choice when it comes to what lashes suit you in saying that to take advantage of the shape My Secret Lashes recommends lashes like Hermes and Emery that are denser and longer towards the outer corner of the eye to create a cat eye effect.

What Liner shape should you use?

To truly accentuate the shape of Almond/Upturned eyes, a liner that begins thin on the inner corner of the eye and thickens towards the outer is absolutely ideal and if you wish to add a wing be sure it follows on in line with your lower lash line. You can also smoke out your wing with a darker eyeshadow for a very alluring effect.

EYE SHAPE: ROUND

Keep it natural girlfriend, My Secret Lashes suggests lashes like Zendaya and any lash from our human hair range for round eyes this will allow you to show your round eyes full potential, trust us even though you’re wearing natural lashes will you will receive plenty of compliments because this particular eye shape make lashes appear a lot thick than they are because of the shape.

What Liner shape should you use?

Round eyes also offer a decent amount of flexibility when it comes to different eyeliner looks, the major purpose of applying liner to round eyes is to elongate the eye shape, commencing your liner from the middle of your eye works best and also adding a slightly longer flick (be sure to keep your wing flatter not necessarily following the lower lash line)
