It seems everywhere you turn, we’re seeing lashes. With the option to roll out of bed and still look wide-eyed and ready for the day, it appears that lashes are here to stay. From wispies, cat-eyes, naturals, to full-on drama, the options are endless…but how do you know which one is best for you? The right lashes are a great way to enhance your unique eye shape.

We’ve narrowed down the best lash options from strips to extensions and found some Black lash experts to help you achieve those perfect, doll eyes. Wink!

Round Eyes - Envious Lashes

Those with rounder eyes have the benefit of appearing more open and wide-eyed than other shapes. A cat-eye look, with longer lashes on the outer corner, elongates the eyes for sexy definition. Envious Lashes is a top contender in the lash industry, with salons in NYC and Miami and an A-list clientele.

Almond Eyes - Lashed Cosmetics 

Almond eyes are the most popular shape and are pretty versatile for styling. Lashed Cosmetics, owned by Blac Chyna, has an array of options for lash strips. With an almond shape, you can opt for different looks depending on your vibe. We love a longer style in the center of the eye for a wide-eyed look.

Hooded Eyes - Lena Lashes 

A more dramatic curl is a great option for hooded eyes, or monolids. A stronger curl will lift the natural lash line and create some stand out eyes. We love the Inu strips from Lena Lashes. They are luxurious, ultra light and comfortable mink lashes.

Deep Set Eyes - OpulenceMD Beauty

Deep set eyes sit further back into the skull. For the most flattering lashes, choose longer lengths and not as much curl. Dr. Amika, board-certified ophthalmologist and founder of OpulenceMD Beauty, has a range of glue-free, magnetic lashes that give all the flare and none of the damage.

Down-turned Eyes - Face Pop Brow & Lash Bar

If your eyes turn downward, you’ll probably notice the outer corners sit lower than the inner corners. For this shape, length focused on the center of the lid will lift the eye. The Face Pop Brow & Lash Bar is full of highly skilled, licensed lash experts. They will customize the perfect set for your preferences.
