Almond Eyes
This eye shape resembles an almond, as the name suggests! Being symmetrical, longer than the height and slightly upturned. If this sounds like you, you're lucky to have the most universal eye shape! Almond eyes suit pretty much all varieties of lengths and styles. Take advantage of your eye shape and play around with different lengths, thickness and shape. Our favourite lashes for the almond eye shape would definitely be THE FAIRYTALE LASH.

Round Eyes
Unlike the almond eye shape, the characteristic of a round eyes is almost equal height and width. Although the round eye shape is perfect for doll-eyed look, if you prefer to achieve a more sultry look go for a lash that will elongate the eye. False lashes that are longer at the outer corner are perfect for this! We especially love the WINGWOMAN LASH for those wanted to create a more cat-eye shape!
Hooded Eyes
Hooded eyes are those in which the skin 'droops' over the crease of the eye. This makes the mobile lid appear small and is often occurs with age, or genetics. To open up the eye, opt for a lash of medium length and slightly tapered. The BONDI LASH is perfect for hooded lids to frame this eyeshape and create an instant enlarging effect.

Monolid
Do you have a prominent brow bone with very little to no crease of the eyelid? This is called a monolid and is most commonly present with Asian genetics. The monolid creates a very soft and youthful looking eye. Surprisingly, monolids work well with lots of styles! However, if you want to create the illusion of a crease, short to medium lashes with a criss cross effect are perfect.

Close Set Eyes
Close set eyes are those that are less than one eye-ball width apart. To expand close set eyes, lashes that are winged or tapered are ideal, like the AMICI LASH. By adding the most length to the outer part of the eye, it will create the illusion of wider-set eyes. Half lashes will also be your perfect lash match if you have close set eyes! These are lashes that are half the length of your typical lash band. You can always customise your favourite style of lashes by cutting to create your own half lashes!

Wide Set Eyes
As you might of guessed, wide set eyes are MORE than one eyeballs width apart. Wide set eyes are very striking, however it is important to prevent over-exaggerating this eyeshape. For you wide set eye shapes, go for fluffy lashes that are the longest in the centre like the FEARLESS LASH. This will drawn attention to the centre of your eye and create the illusion of closer set eyes.

Small Eyes
Distinguished by being smaller than all other facial features, smaller eye shapes have to be careful of not overpowering the area. To do so, small to medium length lashes are ideal like our VALENTINES LASH. False eyelashes with a tapered or winged shape are perfect for creating a big eyed look. It's important to avoid very heavy, thick lashes as this can make the eye area appear smaller.

Large Eyes
Lastly, big eyes! Like the almond eye shape, large eyes suite a variety of styles. Again, you're lucky to have a very versatile eye shape. Given the larger area, big eyes can flaunt super bold, thick lashes! When wanting to choose the perfect false lashes for your eye shape, winged styles will look super pretty. But at ZALA, we love the BAD BLOOD LASH lashes on large eyed beauties for an ultra striking look!
