The Ultimate Eyelash Extensions Guide for Different Eye Shapes

March 19, 2025

Eyelash extensions can dramatically enhance your natural beauty, but choosing the right style for your eye shape is essential for a flawless look. At Sevenlash, we specialize in high-quality eyelash extensions tailored to different eye shapes. In this guide, we provide detailed lash mapping, thickness, curl, length, and expert tips for each eye shape.

Understanding Your Eye Shape

Before selecting an eyelash extension style, it's important to determine your eye shape. Here are the most common types:

• Almond Eyes – Symmetrical and slightly upturned at the outer corners.
• Round Eyes – Large, open, and more circular in shape.
• Hooded Eyes – Characterized by excess skin folding over the eyelid crease.
• Monolid Eyes – Lacking a visible crease, with a flat eyelid space.
• Downturned Eyes – Outer corners slope slightly downward.
• Upturned Eyes – The outer corners lift higher than the inner corners. 

Now, let's dive into the best lash extension styles for each eye shape.

1. Eyelash Extensions for Almond Eyes

Best Styles: Cat-eye, Doll-eye, Natural

Lash Mapping:

• Inner Corners: 6-8mm (C curl)
• Middle Section: 10-12mm (D curl)
• Outer Corners: 12-14mm (L curl for a fox-eye effect, or D curl for a soft look)

Thickness: 0.07mm for a natural look, 0.10mm for a fuller effect

Curl: D or L curl to enhance the natural symmetry

Tips: Almond eyes are versatile, so most lash styles work well. If you want an elongated effect, opt for a cat-eye map with longer lashes on the outer corners.

2. Eyelash Extensions for Round Eyes

Best Styles: Cat-eye, Natural

Lash Mapping:

• Inner Corners: 6-8mm (B curl)
• Middle Section: 10-12mm (C curl)
• Outer Corners: 12-14mm (L or CC curl for elongation)

Thickness: 0.05mm-0.07mm for a soft, wispy look

Curl: C or CC curl to create a lifting effect

Tips: Avoid lashes that are too curled (D curl), as they can make the eyes look even rounder. Focus on lengthening the outer corners for a more elongated shape.

3. Eyelash Extensions for Hooded Eyes

Best Styles: Open-eye, Wispy, Doll-eye

Lash Mapping:

• Inner Corners: 6-8mm (B curl)
• Middle Section: 10-12mm (C curl for lift)
• Outer Corners: 12-14mm (D or M curl to open the eyes)

Thickness: 0.05mm for a lightweight feel

Curl: D or M curl to counteract the drooping effect

Tips: Hooded eyes need more lift, so opt for stronger curls like M or L curl. Avoid long, heavy lashes that can make the eyes look smaller.

4. Eyelash Extensions for Monolid Eyes

Best Styles: Wispy, Doll-eye

Lash Mapping:

• Inner Corners: 6-8mm (C curl)
• Middle Section: 10-12mm (D curl)
• Outer Corners: 12-14mm (L curl for a lifted effect)

Thickness: 0.07mm for a fuller, voluminous look

Curl: L or L+ curl to add dimension

Tips: Monolid eyes benefit from stronger curls like L and L+. Adding a wispy effect with mixed-length lashes enhances depth and dimension.

5. Eyelash Extensions for Downturned Eyes

Best Styles: Cat-eye, Wispy

Lash Mapping:

• Inner Corners: 6-8mm (C curl)
• Middle Section: 10-12mm (D curl)
• Outer Corners: 12-14mm (L+ curl to lift the corners)

Thickness: 0.05mm-0.07mm for a natural, lightweight finish

Curl: L+ or M curl to counteract the downward slant

Tips: Avoid heavy, straight lashes that can drag the eye downward. Instead, focus on lifting the outer corners with an L+ curl.

6. Eyelash Extensions for Upturned Eyes

Best Styles: Doll-eye, Natural

Lash Mapping:

• Inner Corners: 6-8mm (B curl)
• Middle Section: 10-12mm (C curl)
• Outer Corners: 12-14mm (D curl for a rounded effect)

Thickness: 0.07mm for a soft but noticeable enhancement

Curl: C or D curl for a balanced look

Tips: Since upturned eyes already have a natural lift, focus on creating a balanced look by adding volume to the center and inner corners.
