Best False Eyelashes for Almond Eyes

What are almond eyes? Your eye shape is almond if you have a visible crease in the lid and there is no white above or below the iris. Your eyes are a good shape for lashes because your eye has a subtle curve for them to sit on top of. Because of this, almond eyes will likely suit all lashes, but these are Ardell's fave lashes ever.

For an everyday false eyelash, look to the Natural Lashes 105. Perf' for adding length, these focus on accentuating eyes subtly rather than adding loads of volume.

The cult fave Demi Wispies will also soon become your go-to. Their graduated, mixed lengths will help to accentuate your eye shape, and may be worn both day and night.

To amp it up after hours, opt for the Faux Mink 811s. Gradually flaring towards the outer edge of the eye, these will add hella drama in one simple makeup step.

Best False Eyelashes for Hooded Eyes

What are hooded eyes? These eyes are determined by a deep crease that disappears above and behind the eye. Lashes can be tricky to navigate with hooded eyelids because of the ‘hood’ lid that hangs over the eye, but we know that persevering with learning the technique of lash application will defs pay off.

The classic Ardell Wispies will soon be your number ones. Their elongated centre will give extra length, and help with application. Plus, they're the perfect mid-point between everyday and night out, so you know you'll get your wear out of them.

To open up your eyes, the Wispies 601 will be your go-to. The best false eyelashes for hooded lids thanks to the alternating lash lengths, these will give the illusion of more open eyes, and will look killa' when paired with winged eyeliner.

Best False Eyelashes for Round Eyes

What are round eyes? Similar but markedly different from almond eyes, round eyes have the same crease but you can see the white above and below the iris. They are - obviously - more noticeably round than oval.

Big lashes can be quite busy and overwhelming for your eye type, so delicate styles like the Wispies 113 are the best false eyelashes for round eyes. Thanks to their long length, they'll work to open up your eyes and make them look bigger.

With a feathered effect to the outer edge, the Faux Mink Demi Wispies Lashes will be the best choice for going out out. Drama, without the lash application drama - the dream.

Best False Eyelashes for Mono Lid Eyes

What are mono eye lids? Bit of an odd name, but mono lid is the term used to describe eye shapes where there isn't a crease. The best thing about having mono eye lids is that they lend themselves to false eyelashes, as a sort of blank canvas.

The best false eyelashes for mono lids are ones that you can customise as much as possible. That's why we love the pre-cut Demi Wispies. Place the individual sections exactly where you want them for a look that's as natural or dramatic as you are.

The 701s are here for a good time and a long (length) time. Opening up eyes thanks to their super long length, these will also boost volume and drama.

Finally, the best false lashes for mono lids where you want a load of drama are the Mega Volume 251. Full and voluminous, these are the perfect lashes to complement a statement smokey eyeshadow look.

Now you know the best false eyelashes for your eye shape, it's time to add-to-bag
