Best Lashes For Round Eyes

Are you a proud owner of beautiful round eyes in search of the best lashes for your eye shape? In this article, we will discuss the best lash shapes for round eyes that create exceptional looks, ranging from natural finishes to cat-eye styles and more.

But first things first: most people we talked to don’t even know for sure what eye shape they have. So, let’s define what round eyes are in the first place.

You likely have round eyes if you can see the whites of your eyes both above and below the iris when your face is relaxed. Round eyes are typically larger, more circular, and have a youthful, doll-like appearance. To help you visualize, think of celebrities like Katy Perry, Mila Kunis, and Ashley Olsen, who all have round eyes.

Round eyes benefit significantly from a flared or winged lash style, which helps to balance the eyes and create the illusion of elongation, making them appear slightly smaller and more defined. But, guess what! There are a variety of lash styles available that can transform your round eyes into any shape or look you want to achieve.

How to Choose Lashes For Round Eyes

When selecting false lashes for round eyes, these are the basic features and shapes you need to look out for.

  • Always look for a veryflexible or rounded lash band, as that will make it easier to fit the false lashes over your rounded lash line. An overly straight lash strip won’t feel as comfortable, and it’ll be more likely to lift at the corners, ruining your look.
  • Spiky or wispy lashes will usually flatter more than lashes with uniform length distribution. For a more balanced, elongated look, choose a gradual flare that will lengthen your eyes.
  • To make your eyes look even larger, try rounded lashes that are longer above the center of your eye. Depending on the lash style, this can create a cartoon-like look in the best way possible.
  • With round eyes, you can easily get away with more dramatic eyelash styles. Long and voluminous lashes won’t overwhelm your eyes the way they would a more narrow eye shape, so don’t be afraid of length!

Eyelash Application Tips for Round Eyes

It’s important to choose appropriate lashes for your eye shape, but it’s also key that you apply them correctly. Here are our tips specifically to help those with round eyes.

  • Take your time curving and manipulating the lash band, to ensure that it’s comfortable on your rounded lash line.
  • You can just bend it with your hands, but if you have a band that feels especially stiff, curve it over a pencil, and let it sit like that for 5-10 minutes.
  • With a rounded lash line, you’re at risk of giving your eyes a downturned appearance. To avoid this, be careful and don’t apply the lashes too far along your outer corner
