Regardless of the shape and features of your eyes, strand-by-strand eyelash extensions can be a great way to accentuate your natural beauty and achieve a spectacular look. Whether you have small, large, almond-shaped or droopy eyes, if you follow your technician's personalized advice and recommendations, you'll enjoy impressive results. Find out more about the main eye types and discover some practical tips for choosing and applying eyelash extensions strand by strand accordingly!

Small or narrow eyes

When it comes to applying eyelash extensions for small or narrow eyes, there are a few tips and recommendations that can help you achieve a brighter look that balances proportions. Here's what to keep in mind:

  • Opt for lashes with a medium length and a natural curl - lashes that are too long can make your eyes look even smaller, so it's best to go for medium-length options to avoid this effect. Also, a natural curl will add definition to the eyes without highlighting the small size;
  • Use strategic application techniques - ask your technician to apply eyelash extensions in a way that creates the illusion of width and openness. By placing the lashes in a more concentrated way in the centre of the eye and choosing longer lengths in the outer corner, an opening effect can be created. For example, you can opt for 1D extensions along the eyelid and more voluminous variants, such as 3D lash curls at the corners, for a perfect balance;
  • Avoid extensions positioned too often - too much density can create a clumpy feel, which would make the eyes look even smaller. Instead, opt for lash extensions that offer subtle, natural volume.

Almond eyes

 

If you have almond-shaped eyes, here's how to achieve a seductive look:

  • Maintain a natural look - almond-shaped eyes already have a distinctive beauty, so you can opt for eyelash extensions that follow the natural shape and line of your eyes to create an authentic and alluring look;
  • Experiment with different lengths and curves - almond eyes are very versatile, so they go with a variety of eyelash extension styles. You can successfully choose C-curve eyelash extensions or even more dramatic curves, such as CC or D, for a glamorous look suitable for special events;
  • Combine multiple lengths or colours - adding slightly longer lashes to the outer corner of the eyes can intensify the almond shape and create an elongated, elegant effect. Also, if you prefer bold looks, you can opt for vibrant shades along the entire lid or just in the outer corner, and you'll quickly stand out;
  • Avoid lashes that are too long in the inner corner - too long extensions applied to the inner corner can close the look of almond eyes. Opt for medium or short lashes in this area to keep your eyes open.

Big eyes

For large eyes, wire lash extensions can add a dramatic and eye-catching touch. If you want to achieve a dramatic look:

  • Choose long, voluminous lashes - large eyes can easily support more pronounced extensions. Opt for variants that add both length and volume, such as 5D eyelash extensions, which can create an impressive look;
  • Use C or D curves - to emphasise the beauty of large eyes, you can choose extensions with a pronounced curve, which will create a lifting and eye-opening effect;
  • Experiment with longer extensions in the outer corner - adding slightly longer lashes to the outer corner of the eyes can intensify the dramatic look and will highlight large eyes. The cat-eye style is a popular option that can provide an intense and dramatic look;
  • Keep the balance - even if large eyes allow the use of longer extensions, make sure the lashes on the lower lid are in a proportion that matches those on the upper lid. This will give you a balanced and harmonious look.

Droopy eyes

 

In the case of droopy or Asian eyes, extensions can create an attractive lifting effect. Here are our tips:

  • Opt for longer, fuller lashes in the outer corner - these will give a more lifted and youthful look in a subtle but effective way;
  • Choose extensions with a pronounced curve - to counteract the droopy look of your eyes, opt for eyelash extensions with a C or D curve, which help open up the look. You can also successfully opt for extensions with an L or M curve, which provide a visible lifting effect;
  • Contour and accentuate eyebrows - droopy eyes can be highlighted by arched, well-defined brows. A beautiful shape will draw attention to the upper part of the face and balance the droopy appearance of the eyes.

In conclusion, eyelash extensions strand by strand can be a great solution to accentuate the natural beauty of different eye types. Whether you have small or narrow, large, almond-shaped or droopy eyes, you can achieve a seductive and feminine look with the right extensions.
