Selecting the right lashes for different eye shapes

Selecting the right lashes for different eye shapes

THEY say your eyes are the windows to your soul, and what better way to accentuate them than with the perfect pair of lashes? Whether you have almond-shaped, round, hooded or any other unique eye shape, there’s a lash style out there that can enhance your natural beauty.  

In this guide, we’ll explore how to choose the ideal lashes for different eye shapes, helping you achieve a stunning look that highlights your eyes like never before. Each eye shape has its own unique characteristics. Before diving into lash styles, it’s essential to understand and identify your eye shape, to ensure you select lashes that complement your natural features perfectly. Selecting lashes that complement your eye shape and features, will enable you to create stunning looks that captivate and mesmerise. So, let’s get started! 


  Almond-shaped eyes are versatile and can pull off various lash styles. Opt for fluttery and voluminous lashes to enhance the natural shape. Wispy or cat-eye lashes can elongate the eyes and create a captivating look . 

 Round eyes benefit from lashes that add length and lift. Choose lashes with elongated ends or winged styles to create the illusion of an almond shape. Avoid overly voluminous lashes, as they can accentuate the roundness of the eyes.  

 Hooded eyes have a fold of skin that droops over the crease, making the eyelid area appear smaller. Select lashes that are longer in the centre to open up the eyes. Avoid heavy lashes on the outer corners, as they can weigh down hooded eyes further. 

 Mono-lid eyes lack a distinct crease and have a flatter eyelid space. Choose lashes with a natural curl to add dimension and openness to the eyes. Avoid lashes that are too thick or heavy, as they can overpower mono-lid eyes. 

  Deep-set eyes are set deeper into the eye socket, creating a prominent brow bone. Opt for longer lashes with dramatic volume to draw attention to the eyes. Avoid overly long lashes that may brush against the brow bone, creating discomfort. 

  Downturned eyes have a slight droop at the outer corners. Choosing corner lashes or commonly known as a half lash will create that lift to the eye creating more of a foxy eye look and give an elongated effect in the outer corners. Avoid heavy lashes on the outer corners, as they can accentuate the downturned shape.

Global warming may drive higher consumption of sugary drinks and ice cream, study warns

Highlights:

  • Hotter days linked to greater intake of sugary drinks and frozen desserts
  • Lower-income households most affected, research finds
  • Climate change could worsen health risks linked to sugar consumption
  • Study based on 15 years of US household food purchasing data

Sugary consumption rising with heat

People are more likely to consume sugary drinks and ice cream on warmer days, particularly in lower-income households, according to new research. The study warns that climate change could intensify this trend, adding to health risks as global temperatures continue to rise.

Sugar consumption is a major contributor to obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and has surged worldwide in recent decades. The findings, published in Nature Climate Change, suggest that rising heat could be nudging more people towards high-sugar products such as soda, juice and ice cream.

I don’t understand people who don’t talk or see their parents often. Unless they have done something to ruin your lives or you had a traumatic childhood, there is no reason you shouldn’t be checking in with them at least every few days if you don’t live with them.
