Best Eyelash Extension Styles for Different Eye Shapes | RJ Hair Creations

July 08, 2025

At RJ Hair Creations, we believe that lash extensions should do more than just add volume—they should enhance your natural beauty. One of the secrets to achieving a flawless lash look is choosing a style that complements your unique eye shape.

No two eyes are exactly alike, and that’s what makes each set of lashes we apply so special. Whether your eyes are round, almond, hooded, or deep-set, there’s a lash style that can make them pop.

Here’s a helpful guide to choosing the perfect eyelash extension style for every eye shape:

1. Almond Eyes

Eye Shape Traits: Oval-shaped with slightly upswept outer corners.
Best Lash Styles:

• Doll Eye or Open Eye style to emphasize the center of the eye.
• Cat Eye for a flirty, lifted look.
  Almond eyes are incredibly versatile—they look amazing with almost any lash design!

RJ Hair Creations Tip: This eye shape works well with various curls and lengths. We often recommend mixing lengths for a natural-yet-bold effect.

2. Round Eyes

Eye Shape Traits: Large and open, showing more of the white around the iris.
Best Lash Styles:

• Cat Eye to elongate and balance the eye shape.
• Avoid styles that overly emphasize the center, as this can make eyes look surprised.

Our Lash Artists Suggest: A softer curl and graduated length from inner to outer corner for a graceful, elegant finish.

3. Hooded Eyes

Eye Shape Traits: A fold of skin that partially covers the eyelid crease.
Best Lash Styles:

• Doll Eye to open up the eyes and make them appear larger.
• Use longer lashes toward the center and shorter ones on the outer corners.

RJ Hair Creations Recommends: A strong curl (like D or L curl) helps lashes peek through the lid and creates an instant lifting effect.

4. Monolid Eyes

Eye Shape Traits: No visible crease; smooth, flat eyelid space.
Best Lash Styles:

• Doll Eye or Textured Volume to add dimension.
• Use a mix of curls and lengths to create the illusion of depth.

Pro Tip: Lightweight volume lashes with high curl enhance definition without feeling heavy.

5. Deep-Set Eyes

Eye Shape Traits: Eyes are set deeper into the skull with a prominent brow bone.
Best Lash Styles:

• Wispy Volume or Open Eye styles to bring the eyes forward.
• Use longer lengths and soft curls for a lifted, bright look.

RJ Hair Creations Note: Don’t be afraid of drama here! Deep-set eyes can carry a fuller lash line beautifully.

6. Close-Set Eyes

Eye Shape Traits: Eyes are positioned closer together, with less space in between.
Best Lash Styles:

• Cat Eye to draw attention outward and elongate the look.
• Longer lashes on the outer corners create balance and symmetry.

Stylist Insight: Focus on adding length gradually toward the outer edge to open the face.

7. Wide-Set Eyes

Eye Shape Traits: More space between the eyes than the width of one eye.
Best Lash Styles:

• Doll Eye or Natural Eye style with emphasis on the inner and middle sections.
• Keep outer corners light to avoid stretching the eyes too far apart.

RJ Hair Creations Suggests: Balanced fullness along the lash line helps bring harmony to wide-set eyes.
