  • Party / Events: Bold Babe - fuller volume with bolder lengths for statement lashes.
  • Bridal: From Classic Chic to Little Minx to Bold Babe, the perfect bridal lash is the one that complements your look - whether you prefer soft elegance or statement glam.

3. How to Choose the Best Lash Style for Your Eye Shape

Not all lashes are one-size fits-all. Choosing the right cluster placement enhances your natural eye shape.

  • Round eyes: Use shorter clusters on the inner eye and gradually longer clusters toward the outer corners. styles like Classic Chic or Little Minx help elongate and balance the eye.
  • Almond eyes:  Naturally versatile - most styles suit. Keep clusters evenly spaced or add slightly longer lengths on the outer corners. Choose Little Minx for soft glam or Bold Babe for drama.
  • Hooded eyes: Apply shorter clusters on the inner and center lash line, with subtle length toward the outer eye. Classic Chic or Little Minx help open the eyes without weighing them down.
  • Downturned eyes: Focus length on the outer corners to create a lifted effect. Little Minx or Bold Babe adds definition and an uplifted finish.

Tip: Start with longer clusters on the outer corners, then work inward using shorter clusters for a seamless, eye-lifting finish. 

DIY lashes let you customise length and placement to suit your eye shape - and adjust your look anytime.
