You may already know which mascara is the best fit for your particular lashes, but how about the natural shape of your eyes? Whether you want to play up cat-like eyes or widen smaller eyes, here are the formulas we recommend for your particular shape – the good news is there is a tube out there for everyone…
The Best Mascara For: Almond Eyes
This eye shape may be the easiest to play with when it comes to make-up. Choose a mascara that has a rubber comb, which will help you get the well-defined dark eyelashes we all dream of. Benefit They’re Real! Mascara also brings staggered bristles that grab even your tiniest baby lashes boosting volume and length, and enhancing your natural shape with just one coat.
The Best Mascara For: Round Eyes
Elongate round eyes with a mascara that combines a triple-ball brush with a thickening formula like Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Supreme Mascara. When applying it, focus on the outer corner of your top lash line to make your round eyes appear more cat-like.
The Best Mascara For: Downturned Eyes
For a subtle lift, opt for a mascara wand that is thicker at the centre, like ModelCo® Fatlash Volumising Black Mascara, which builds dramatic lashes in the centre of your lashline.
The Best Mascara For: Hooded Eyes
Ladies with hooded eyes often worry about mascara getting on their upper lids, which is why we recommend a curling and water-resistant mascara like Benefit Roller Lash. Its long-lasting formula keeps your eyes mess- and flake-free for up to 12 hours while the innovative Hook ‘n’ Roll brush allows you to skip your eyelash curler without any regrets.
The Best Mascara For: Small Eyes
Small eyes will appear larger with the help of a lengthening formula like stila mile high lashes mascara. The special patented brush delicately wraps lashes from roots to tips for a sumptuous, sky-high lift. Don’t forget to curl your lashes for added pop!
The Best Mascara For: Large Eyes
Big eyes are beautiful, so let them shine with simple, well-designed lashes. So Susan Featherlash Mascara has a conical tip to guarantee that you catch every single lash for amazing definition. Put an extra layer on your upper-centre lashes and then, use its defining tip to colour the lower ones – remember to remove the excess of product on the bristles before to avoid ending up with “doll eyes.”
