How to pick the perfect faux lashes

Posted on Mar 16, 2022

When you’re looking to complete your look with a subtle enhancement to your natural lashes, the right mascara can work wonders. For a more dramatic increase in length, thickness and volume—without the time commitment and expense of professional lash extensions—faux lashes are the way to go. If you’re not sure where to start, we’ve got you covered.

Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all false lashes, now there’s a huge selection that ranges from undetectable to unmissable. But before you even decide what style you’re going for, it’s important to determine which lashes work with your eye shape.

How to Identify Your Eye Shape

Take a good look in the mirror and see which of these eye shapes most closely resembles your own.

ALMOND EYES

This eye shape closely resembles an almond and is perfectly symmetrical with slightly upswept outer corners.

FAUX LASHES FOR ALMOND EYES

Choose lash styles that crisscross for a naturally voluminous effect. To further enhance an almond eye shape and play up your faux lashes, try a cateye style to create a seductive and dramatic look.

MONOLID EYES

A single-lid, or monolid eye shape is typically characterized by the lack of a defined crease above the upper lash line.

To elongate and emphasize your eye shape, try a pair of lashes that are longer on the outer edges. Make sure they have plenty of curl and volume. Add more depth and definition to this eye shape by creating a soft smoky eye. Use a color pencil to line eyes then smudge gently with a pointed brush to enlarge the width of eyes.

DOWNTURN EYES

This eye shape is characterized by a slight drop at the corners of the eyes.

FAUX LASHES FOR DOWNTURNED EYES

To lift the corners of the eyes, opt for lashes that appear “spiky” with the longest hairs in the middle of the lash. This provides a lifting effect and an upturned appearance. For balance, line eyes close to the lash line, stopping before you reach the corner of the eye. Create an upward flick or soft wing for an upturned look.

These plush lashes layer on killer length and volume to create a look that’s perfect for a standout look.

HOODED EYES

This shape has a natural crease that appears hidden. The lid is less visible.

FAUX LASHES FOR HOODED EYES

Opt for faux styles that taper at each end and feature the longest lashes at the center of the strip. This will draw attention inwards, creating the illusion of depth. It’s all about that tightline for this eye shape. Thicken the lash line with a black color pencil, while keeping the inner corners bright with a light eyeshadow.
