About Best Lashes for Close Set Eyes

Choosing the right pair of false eyelashes for your close set eyes can transform your eyes and add a whole new dimension to your look. The good news is, that there are so many lash choices available for close set eyes, that we have a brand and style of lash for everyone.

Your eyes are unique - everyone’s eyes are slightly different in shape, colour, depth, and size, and to find the very best false eyelash accessory, you need to know what eye shape fits yours best.

So, even though there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ solution to the right eyelashes, you can still find the perfect pair to accentuate your features, finish off your look, and highlight your own personal sense of style by determining your best fit.

Close-set eyes sit closer together than average, with less than one eye-width between them. The right lashes can open that gap up visually: long in the middle, tapered towards the outer corner, so the eye reads wider and the two eyes look further apart.

What counts as close-set eyes

Most eyes sit around one eye-length apart, measured from the inner corner of one eye to the inner corner of the other. If the gap between your eyes is noticeably less than the width of one eye, they're close-set.

It's a distinctive look, not a flaw to fix. Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristen Stewart all have close-set eyes, and it's considered a beauty standard in its own right in several Asian countries, including South Korea.

The best lashes for close-set eyes

For close-set eyes, look for styles that build length and volume through the centre and outer corner of the lash, rather than the inner corner. That shifts visual weight outward, which does two things at once: it makes the eye look bigger, and it makes the two eyes look further apart, similar to how contouring reshapes a face with just shading.

For a fuller, more dramatic finish that still lengthens outward:

• Lilly Lashes 3D Faux Mink - Rome - £30.00
• House of Lashes - Noir Fairy Lite - £21.00
• Boldface Lashes - Thrill Seeker - £15.00

For a lighter, more natural look that still does the same job:

• Kiss Lash Couture Naked Drama - Veil - £11.00
• Pinky Goat Lashes - Sahar - £14.00

Makeup that works with close-set eyes

Eyeliner: use a lighter liner on the inner corner and a darker one on the outer corner. The light tone pushes the inner corner back visually, the dark tone adds definition on the outside, and together they create the illusion of more distance between your eyes. A subtle wing on the outer corner reinforces the same effect.

Eyeshadow: the same light-to-dark logic applies. Blend a pale shade into the inner corner and build to a deeper tone at the outer edge - a small cat-eye flick at the end pulls focus outward and away from the centre. Avoid a single dark shade across the whole lid; it tends to make close-set eyes look smaller and more pinched rather than more open.

FAQs

How do I know if I have close-set eyes?
Measure the gap between your eyes against the width of one eye. If the space is noticeably narrower than one eye-width, they're close-set.

Will false lashes make close-set eyes look smaller?
No, not if you choose the right style. Lashes with length concentrated in the centre and outer corner - rather than the inner corner - pull focus outward and make the eyes look further apart, not closer together.

Can I wear these lashes every day, or are they more for special occasions?
Both - we've picked a mix of everyday-wearable styles and more dramatic ones above, so you can go lighter for daily wear and save the fuller options for nights out.
