6 Most Popular Eye Shapes

Even the most minute of characteristics can contain a wide range of eye forms. This is especially true of the tiniest of features. Even the eyes of a single individual might have distinguishing characteristics. As a result, we will explain how to personalize the application of lash extension styles to each eye by taking into account the most prevalent shapes of the eye.

Almond Eyes:

Most people's eyes have this form, which is also the widest. The taper at the inner and outer corners of the eye is the most incredible method to tell if someone has almond eyes. You may not even be able to see the outermost border of the cornea if your client has almond-shaped eyes. 

Styles to consider: 

• Cat-Eye style is the most fantastic option for making the eyes appear more proportionate or aggressive.
• If your client has almond-shaped eyes, a softer, rounder style like Dolly Style will look amazing if the client desires to open more of their eyes. 

Round Eyes:

Round eyes don't taper at the outer or inner corners, making them appear larger than they are. Furthermore, the white of the cornea surrounding this eye form makes it easier to recognize. When using the wrong eyelash style, folks with round eyes can appear continuously bemused! 

Styles to consider: 

• For best results, go with a Natural style, which emphasizes the features of your client's face without making them look shocked.
• The Cat-Eye style is an excellent choice for a dramatic taper since it sharpens the outer corners and elongates the round contour of the eye. 

Close-set Eyes:

If two eyes are placed close together, or if the insides of both eyes are set near to the nose, your client has close-set eyes. To make them appear larger, a set of eyes like this needs longer lash extensions. 

Styles to Consider: 

• Longer volume  eyelash extensions should be used on the outer corners of the eyes if your client has a close set of eyes.
• Flaring lash extension styles on the outside corners of the eyes draw attention away from the inner corner of the eye and place it on the outer corner. 

Deep-set Eyes:

When someone has deep-set eyes, it gives the impression that their brow bone is more prominent because their eyes appear larger and are set more profoundly in the eye socket. People who have eyes placed far apart typically look for ways to make their eyes appear less hollow and smaller and brighter and less gloomy overall. 

Style to consider:

The curling lash that rises towards the outer corner of the eye and signifies a deep-set eye is the best eyelash style. 

Small Eyes:

If your client's eyes look smaller than other characteristics, such as lips or nose, they may have small eyes. It is possible to have small eyes with any of the eye forms that are listed below: a shape like a round, almond, a close-set, or a deep-set. 

Style to Consider:

By choosing the Baby-doll Style, which also helps the eyes appear more rounded, you can make them appear more open and give a more significant impression.

Hooded Eyes or Monolid Eyes:

It's a monolid type of eye if the fold doesn't form a crease but instead occurs right at the lash line. On the other hand, Hooded eyes have the eyelid hidden entirely beneath the brow bone.

Styles to consider:

If your client has hooded or monolid eyes, Baby-doll lash extension styles are a terrific method to open them out and shape them!

What Lash Extension Styles Should I Get For My Client's Eye Shape?

As a lash technician, adjusting the lash extension styles is essential since it enables one to develop a tailored look that is appropriate for the client's characteristics.

When deciding on the most suitable style of eyelash extension, it is essential to consider their eye shape to select the most suitable option. Nevertheless, there are several other considerations to take into account. We'll talk about them in passing down below.

Shapes of the Eyes

This is almost certainly the most crucial aspect to take into account.

In the same way that knowing the shape of the body can help you locate clothes that fit perfectly. Understanding the shape of the face can help you apply cosmetics perfectly; knowing the shape of the eyes may help lay the groundwork for a successful lash extension procedure. In this article, we have looked at some of the most common types of eye shapes, including round eyes, almond eyes, close-set eyes, deep-set eyes, hooded eyes, and small eyes. 

Size of the Eyes

The size of the eyes can be classified as large, medium, or tiny according to the eyeballs' vertical and horizontal dimensions. Large eyes have a horizontal diameter that is greater than or equal to that of an average eye. One other rule that has been established through practice to determine the size of the eyes is to evaluate them with the other aspects of the face.

The proportion of the Eyes

The proportion referred to here is the distance between the eyes or where they are situated. It is considered a balanced eye setup when the distance that separates the eyes is about average. In addition, eyes positioned wide apart or closed together are referred to as being set far or close. 

Natural lashes

There are three primary orientations that natural lashes can grow in: straight up, downward, or upward. Natural lashes can also grow in any combination of these three directions. A lash technician's choice of curls is heavily dependent on the direction in which the lashes are growing. For example, the natural growth of an Asian woman's eyelashes is typically downward, necessitating tighter curls.

The right lash extension curl and length

There is a wide variety of choices regarding eyelash extensions' materials, lengths, Volumes, and curls. To achieve the desired outcomes, it is essential to consider each aspect.

Mink, Silk, and synthetic are the most common materials utilized in the production of eyelash extensions. The eyelash artist should talk to the client about each of these ingredients, and then they should create lashes that are precisely tailored to the client's preferences alone. Before the insertion of lash extensions, there are a few other topics that the client and the lash artist will need to discuss. These topics are as follows: 

1. Eyelash Extension Length:

If you choose eyelash extensions with the improper length for your client's natural lashes, you risk damaging them. In addition to this, they will feel uneasy among themselves, and this may come across as odd. It's also possible that the lashes are overly thick, which prevents the lash follicles from developing healthy lashes and causing the problem. Therefore, the general rule of thumb to follow when selecting eyelash extensions is that the extensions should be at least 3mm-5mm longer than the wearer's natural lashes. 

The diameter of extensions must be thicker than the natural lashes to be as dramatic as possible. In addition, the diameter of extensions should be comparable to the natural lashes or come as near as feasible. Therefore, if you want to create an eye-catching appearance with long eyelash extensions, you should select a narrow diameter. You will be able to lighten the load and regain equilibrium. 

The majority of the curls range from 7mm to 17mm in size, with the occasional 5mm to 6mm curl. In addition, one should consider diameter variations ranging from 0.05 to 0.07 and 0.15 millimeters , with the occasional 0.03 and 0.20 millimeters. 

2. Eyelash Extension Curl Type:

A few distinct curls may be achieved with eyelash extensions, including the B-curl, C-curl, D-curl, and L+ curl. 

• The B-curl is the curl that looks the most like the natural curl. If your client has straight lashes and needs a little bit of lifting, it is an ideal option to choose.
• As a result of its adaptability, the C-curl is the most widely used eyelash curling technique. Choose the C-curl if you are working on naturally sparse lashes, but you want them to look more open and voluminous by curling them in a C shape.
•  When your client wants to make a statement with the lashes, the D-curl is the way to go. In addition, naturally curled lashes are ideal for this style since the curl creates the appearance of a half-circle.
• At last, the L and L+ coil a flat base, followed by an upward lift. If you are working on a single eyelid, hooded eyes, and lashes that point downward and are straight, you should choose this curl.

Even though everyone's eyes are various shapes and have their unique preferences, some generalizations can be made about what looks best with each kind of eye. The purpose of customizing a set of eyelashes for a particular eye shape is to bring attention to the features of the eye that are attractive while concealing any flaws that may be present. Stay confident, beautiful people!
