Which lashes suit your eye shape? TruCosmetics explains

A captivating gaze can transform your entire look. But with the vast array of lash styles available – from fake lashes and extensions to various mascara techniques – it's easy to feel overwhelmed. The crucial question is: Which lashes truly suit you and your individual eye shape? The answer is key to enhancing your natural beauty instead of concealing it.

In this guide, we'll show you how to easily determine your eye shape and find the perfect eyelash look for you – whether you opt for artificial eyelashes or want to take your own natural eyelashes to the next level.

Know your eye shape: The first step to your dream look

Before choosing a lash style, take a close look in the mirror. The shape of your eyes will determine which look is most flattering. Here are the most common eye shapes and their corresponding lash recommendations.

Almond Eyes

Here's how to recognize them: Your eyes are oval and slightly upturned at the outer corners. The iris usually touches both the upper and lower eyelids. Congratulations, you have the most versatile eye shape!

Which lashes suit you: Almost any style suits you! Lashes that emphasize the symmetrical shape look particularly harmonious. A fanned-out look that increases in length and volume towards the outer corners (cat-eye) perfectly accentuates your elegant eye shape.

Round eyes

Here's how you can recognize them: Your eyes appear large and open, the iris is almost completely visible, and often a small part of the white of the eyeball can be seen above or below it.

Which lashes are right for you: The goal is to visually lengthen the eye. The cat-eye effect is ideal for this. Choose lashes that are short at the inner corner and significantly longer towards the outer corner. This elongates the gaze and gives it a seductive almond shape.

Hooded eyes

Here's how to recognize them: When your eyes are open, part of the skin under the eyebrow covers the movable eyelid. This often makes the eyes appear smaller.

Which lashes are right for you: Your goal is to open up your gaze and make your eyes appear larger. The best lashes are those that are longest in the middle, directly above the pupil. This "doll-eye" or "open-eye" look visually lifts the eyelid and creates a wide-awake, radiant expression.

Deep-set eyes

Here's how you can recognize them: Your eyes sit slightly deeper in the eye socket, which makes the brow bone stand out more.

Which lashes are right for you: To visually draw the eyes forward, long, strongly curled lashes are the best choice. The curl ensures that the lash tips don't touch the brow bone, while the length creates a dramatic, wide-open look.

Downturned eyes

Here's how to recognize them: The outer corners of the eyes point slightly downwards, which can sometimes give the gaze a tired or sad expression.

Which lashes are right for you: A lifting effect is key! You'll achieve this best with lashes that are longest and thickest in the outer third of your eyes. A natural cat-eye look can subtly lift the outer corner of the eye and make your eyes appear more awake.

Eyelash extensions or natural beauty? Which suits you best?

The question "Which eyelash extensions are right for me?" can be answered using the same principles. A professional eyelash studio can create a cat-eye, doll-eye, or natural look perfectly tailored to your eye shape. However, extensions require regular refill appointments and can put a strain on your natural lashes over time.

Strengthening your own eyelashes is an increasingly popular alternative. Instead of creating an artificial look, you emphasize what you already have. The advantages are obvious:

• Absolutely authentic: They are your own, real eyelashes – only longer and thicker.
• No appointments, no stress: Applying a serum at home only takes a few seconds.
• Long-term care: You strengthen your eyelash roots and promote healthy growth.
• Full flexibility: You can use mascara at any time, cleanse your face as usual and rub your eyes.

Your personal guide on how to find the right eyelash type

To make the right decision, consider what you want to achieve with your eyelash look:

• For a natural everyday look: If you simply want a little more expressiveness without looking made up, investing in your natural lashes is ideal. For sensitive eyes, we recommend our prostaglandin-free LASH SERUM SOFT , which works with natural boosters like biotin and peptides.
• For special occasions: For a glamorous appearance at a celebration or event, high-quality fake lashes that match your eye shape are a great, temporary solution.
• For a consistently dramatic look: If you want to wake up with perfect lashes every morning, professional eyelash extensions might be the right choice. Remember to condition your natural lashes with a serum to prevent breakage. Our sets, like the Lash & Brow Starter Set , offer everything you need for a perfectly groomed look.

Conclusion: Emphasize your individual beauty

Perfect eyelashes aren't a matter of a universal trend, but rather an individual choice based on your unique eye shape and personal style. Whether you opt for the dramatic cat-eye look, the wide-eyed doll-eye effect, or the authentic beauty of your own well-groomed lashes – the right look is the one you feel most comfortable with.

Instead of striving to achieve an ideal, with the right knowledge you can skillfully showcase your best features. An eyelash serum is more than just a product; it's an investment in your self-confidence and natural radiance – without compromise.
