Best Lashes for Prominent Eyes

What Are Prominent Eyes?

Prominent eyes, sometimes also referred to as protruding eyes, sit slightly more forward in the eye socket. You may notice that your eyelid or the skin directly below your lower lash line bulges forward a little. 

It’s pretty easy to tell if you have prominent eyes. Look at your side profile in the mirror or take a picture - you might need a friend to help. The main sign is that your eyes stick out past the crease of your eye and the lower hollow of your eye socket. They might align with protruding facial features, like your brows and cheekbones. 

If your eyes stick out significantly, consider speaking to your doctor or an ophthalmologist. Bulging eyes can be a sign of underlying health issues. 

Remember that your prominent eyes can also have features of other eye shapes. Contrary to some sources, prominent eyes can be round or almond, upturned or downturned, and close-set or wide-set.

Lashes For Prominent Eyes

There are many excellent lashes for prominent eyes. Your eye shape can handle many different lash styles and distribution patterns. From wispy doll eyelashes to sultry cat eyes, you can let your aesthetic guide many of your lash choices! 

That said, there are a couple of major pitfalls to avoid. First, avoid lashes with a strong curve, commonly known as a U-curl, in lash extensions, as they can make your eyes seem puffy. All Lilac St. extensions are between a C and D curl, which is universally flattering.

Second, avoid very large lashes, as the added heft could make your eyes seem too protruding. Exactly what counts as too large depends on your eyes' size, but generally, small-to-medium length and volume levels are a safe choice. 

Another tip we have is to keep the type of drama separate. That means that if you want voluminous lashes, keep them short. If you want long lashes, opt for wispy and delicate styles. 

Finally, consider other aspects of your eye shape and whether they’ll also play a part in your choice of lashes. For example, if your eyes are rounded and protruding, you may want more length on the outer corner of your lash line, whereas you might prefer a more rounded lash map if your eyes are almond-shaped.

Because our DIY lashes are available in several lengths, you can select the exact lengths that’ll look most balanced with your eyes. Here are our favorite Lilac St. lashes for prominent eyes.

Prism

Inspired by their namesake, our Prism lashes feature thin fibers in a crisscrossing pattern that creates maximum movement and dimension. The result is a soft, wispy, and eye-catching lash. The delicate nature of these lashes means you can even experiment with longer lashes than normal. 

Feather

Our delicate Feather lashes are a soft and wispy option that effortlessly flatters prominent eyes. The design features two criss-crossing, flared-out clusters on each lash segment, creating a defined, staggered effect for a bold yet soft look. 

Dawn

Soft, wispy, and natural, Dawn are our most subtle lashes for prominent eyes. You might appreciate their air-light vibe if you have very large, prominent eyes. They add softness to your look and enhance your eyes delicately without ever overwhelming them. 

Hollywood

If you want a little more glamor, the Hollywood lashes will help you achieve it in a very balanced way. They have a design that marries a spiky lash distribution with the softness of wispy criss-crossing at the base. They create a noticeable eyeliner effect, helping push the fullest part of your lid back slightly while allowing your eyes to stand out. 

Volume

Our lush and fluttery Volume lashes are a sumptuous option. They’re quite dense at the base but still have some lightness, thanks to flaring at the top. This also results in an eyeliner effect that beautifully enhances and emphasizes prominent eyes. Since these lashes are quite full, stick to the medium or shorter lengths to ensure a balanced look.

Eyelash Application Tips For Prominent Eyes

These quick tips will help you easily apply your lashes to achieve a more flattering look! 

• If you are wearing strip lashes, curve the base to ensure the band is flexible. This way, it will fit easily against your prominent eyelid and be less likely to lift at the corners. 
• When wearing DIY extensions, you can experiment by combining different extension styles and lengths in one lash map. 
• With the rest of your makeup, opt for medium-tone or matte colors on your lid. Smoky eyes are often a safe bet for protruding eye shapes! 

Final Thoughts

The best lashes for prominent eyes will add the perfect enhancement level without making your eyes seem puffy or bulging. You can’t go wrong with natural lashes, but you might need to choose between length and volume when you want more drama. Opt for wispy or staggered designs that maintain a light, airy look when in doubt. 

DIY lash extensions are always a safe bet. They allow you to be your lash stylist and to enjoy your lash look for days at a time with minimal maintenance.
