Why Your Eye Shape Matters When Choosing Lashes
Faux mink lashes are one of the quickest ways to elevate any look — but the wrong style can actually work against your natural features instead of enhancing them. The secret to a flawless lash look? Choosing a style that complements your unique eye shape. Whether you have almond eyes, hooded lids, monolids, or wide-set eyes, there's a perfect pair waiting for you.
At Franchise Beauty, we believe every woman deserves to feel like the most glamorous version of herself. That starts with the right lashes.
Know Your Eye Shape First
Before you shop, take a moment to identify your eye shape. Here's a quick breakdown:
- Almond eyes — Slightly upswept outer corners, balanced proportions. The most versatile eye shape.
- Round eyes — Large, circular appearance with visible whites above or below the iris.
- Hooded eyes — A fold of skin that partially covers the eyelid, making the lid appear smaller.
- Monolids — Little to no crease visible on the eyelid.
- Wide-set eyes — More space between the eyes than average.
- Close-set eyes — Eyes positioned closer together than average.
- Downturned eyes — Outer corners that angle slightly downward.
The Best Faux Mink Lash Styles for Every Eye Shape
Almond Eyes — You Can Rock Almost Anything
Lucky you! Almond eyes are the most balanced shape, which means most lash styles will complement your features. Go for dramatic volume, wispy styles, or natural everyday lashes depending on your vibe. Try our Her Era lashes for a bold, unapologetic look that matches your energy.
Round Eyes — Elongate with Cat-Eye Styles
To create the illusion of length and a sultry, elongated shape, opt for lashes that are longer at the outer corners. Avoid super full, round lashes — they'll make your eyes appear even rounder. A cat-eye or winged lash style is your best friend.
Hooded Eyes — Go for Lifted, Wispy Lashes
With hooded eyes, the goal is to open up the eye and create the appearance of a lifted lid. Choose lashes with a curl and longer center fibers to draw attention upward. Avoid super thick, heavy bands that can weigh down the lid. Wispy, feathery styles work beautifully here.
Monolids — Volume is Your Power Move
Monolids look stunning with full, voluminous lashes that create depth and dimension. Since there's no crease to work with, lashes do the heavy lifting. Go bold — you can handle it!
Wide-Set Eyes — Focus Volume Toward the Inner Corner
To bring your eyes closer together visually, choose lashes that are fuller and longer toward the inner corners. This creates balance and draws the gaze inward.
Close-Set Eyes — Emphasize the Outer Corners
The opposite approach works here — lashes that are longer and more dramatic at the outer corners will create the illusion of wider-set eyes. Avoid heavy inner corner lashes.
Downturned Eyes — Lift with Flared Outer Lashes
Look for lashes with an upward curl and extra length at the outer corners to counteract the downward angle. This creates a lifted, wide-awake effect that's absolutely stunning.
Pro Tips for Applying Faux Mink Lashes Like a Pro
- Measure before you glue. Hold the lash strip against your eye and trim any excess from the outer edge.
- Wait for the glue to get tacky. Apply lash glue and wait 30–45 seconds before placing. This is the #1 mistake beginners make!
- Apply from the center out. Press the center of the band down first, then secure the inner and outer corners.
- Use tweezers or a lash applicator for precision placement.
- Blend with mascara on your natural lashes to seamlessly marry them with your faux minks.
