The Best False Eyelashes For Your Eye Shape
Emma Terry
As explained by Elle, naturally mysterious hooded eyes are defined by a near-invisible upper lid when the eye is open (think Jennifer Lawrence). For this eye shape, the aim is to make eyes look bigger and more open in the center, so a combination of different lengths will work great here. Using individual false eyelashes, place longer pieces at the center of the eye, with shorter lashes at the end to create more of an almond shape (via Mademoiselle Lash). According to Glamour, strip lashes can work also as long as they don't pull the top lid down.
Monolid eyes are another fantastic, open canvas, often seen on people of East Asian descent. This eye shape has no visible crease on the eyelid. You can get away with fluttery, multi-layered false eyelashes to add dimension. Opt for a pair of falsies that have crisscross layers for a bit of drama, and curl the lashes afterward to draw attention in (via Huda Beauty) .
For upturned cat-eyes, seen on none other than Taylor Swift, go for a flared half-lash in the outer corners to emphasize the shape (via Elle). Similarly, create this same look on downturned eyes with wispy, low-volume lashes that are longest in the center and taper out to create a lift (via Mademoiselle Lash). Moreover, those with deep-set eyes like Natalie Portman's should go for long, curled lashes that have more length at the center to accentuate their size.
