Picking the Most Fab Eyelashes for Deep Set Eyes

How do you know if your eyes are deep set? Place your index finger upwards over your eye. If you cannot touch it, then you have amazing deep set eyes. The doll look, also recommended for round eyes, and with long and very wispy lashes are a great choice. Any false eyelashes that are very long and very voluminous will give the illusion of less depth. False eyelashes that are very long in the middle will help draw the eye forward as well.

Perfect Fake Lashes for Prominent Eyes

Prominent eyes are expressive, so the natural look is the most fitting both for day or night. For an instant smoldering vibe, add longer lashes at the outer end to create a cat eye. Or try long and curly lashes in the middle for a flirty look. It is best to opt for falsies with separate lashes and not much volume so they don’t overwhelm your eyes.

False Eyelashes for Hooded Eyes (or Heavy Lided)

The secret with hooded eyes is to cover the eyelid. Opt for curlier lashes, lashes that are longer in the outer corner on in the middle. A nice cat eye with long and curled lashes will look divine. Avoid straight lashes at all costs. Go thin with your eyeliner or pick a sparkly one to brighten the look.

A great tip? Apply individual false eyelashes to the outer part of your lash line! Use a tweezer to apply individual false eyelashes for extra precision.

Get Flirty Looks for Round Eyes!

If you have round eyes, avoid voluminous false eyelashes as they round up the eye even more. It is best to opt for long, thin and separate falsies. Or some with a short-long pattern, that gives a bit of a doll-like effect that opens up the eye. You may also choose winged and wispy lashes that go along the lash line well to help create a cat eye shape.

Best False Eyelashes for Monolids

Monolids lack that natural double crease plus the lids cover most of the eyelashes making them look shorter.
Longer lashes definitely help draw attention to your eyes. So, a less dense pair of fake and curly eyelashes can add more volume and create a believable, lush look. Pick some with natural length bur lots or curl, preferably elongated ones for a cat eye effect. Go ahead and flaunt your peepers!
