Different Lash Extension Styles For Different Eyes

Eyelash Extensions

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at July 13th, 2022

Audrey Hepburn once said, “For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others.” We love the sentiment here, and there’s much truth to this statement metaphorically. But, when accentuating your eyes, you may be looking for more tangible results!  Enter eyelash extensions; the key to exceptional eyelash extensions is matching the different eyelash styles with the corresponding eye type. 

The Different Lash Extension Styles For Different Eyes 

Wider Eyes

Almond-shaped eyes are the most common eye shape, and they have a width-to-height ratio of two to one, meaning that they’re twice as wide as they are tall. Fortunately, several eyelash styles work with wider or almond-shaped eyes.  Cat eyelash extensions highlight the length of your eyes and are considered one of the top choices for almond-shaped eyes. You could try open-eye or doll-eye eyelash extensions for a more delicate look. With wider eyes, the possibilities are virtually endless. 

Round Eyes

If you have round eyes, you can either choose to highlight the shape of your eyes as they are or select an eyelash extension that makes them seem wider. If you want to emphasize your eyes’ natural shape, you can use open or doll-eye extensions. If you’d prefer to make your eyes appear more almond-shaped, you could also try cat eyelash extensions.  The cat eye style works wonderfully because of its inherent design. The lashes are shortest at the inside corner of the eye and grow incrementally longer towards the outside of the eye; this creates favorable angles in the eyelash and mimics the desirable look of an almond-shaped eye.    

Wide-Set Eyes

People with wide-set eyes have eyes that are farther apart than the average bridge width. You should avoid cat eyelash extensions as they can make your eyes appear wider than they already are.  For wide-set eyes, the doll style is best to close the gap. Working in tandem with the doll style, changing the angle of the extensions provides the illusion that the eyes are closer together.  If you’re looking for fabulous lash tinting or other eyelash services, contact us at Chic Lash Boutique!
