About Best Lashes for Deep Set Eyes

Finding the best set of false eyelashes for your deep set eyes is so important, because they are an accessory for the most central and (pardon the pun) eye-catching part of your face! The perfect set of false lashes can completely change your look, tell a story, or let people know what your attitude to life is. Natural and subtle, big and bold, or long and luscious. There's a lot to be gleaned simply by observing the lashes someone opts to wear. 

It’s easy to fall in love with false eyelashes, but have you ever stopped to consider whether or not you're choosing the correct lash style for your eye shape? Having lashes too heavy on the eye can make your eyes look droopy, so it’s important to determine what eye shape you have before buying and applying lashes.

What's your eye shape?

Eyes aren’t a one-size fits all feature, everyone has differences in colour, size, depth, and shape - and it’s these differences that work with your other features to determine your very own uniqueness. When people look at your face, it’s generally your eyes that they see first - and we all express so much of ourselves and our personalities with our eyes, it’s no wonder that people want them to look their absolute best.

Trying to work out what style your eyes are isn’t always an easy job (some shapes are much closer to others, and it can be difficult to really nail down which one is yours). So we’ve popped together some helpful hints and advice, on discovering your eye-shape, what you need to know about having deep set eyes, and even some fashionably forward makeup tips to really add on to your style.

What are Deep Set Eyes?

So what exactly are Deep Set Eyes? Well, the clue's actually in the name.

Deep set eyes are exactly what they sound like, and what you’d expect them to be. When someone who has deep set eyes was formed, their skull was shaped in such a way that the eye sockets were set deeper in.

This makes the brow bone more prominent and can make the eyes look smaller than you think. Because of the additional depth of the socket, shadowing and dark colours are generally avoided, to prevent the eyes from looking really small and sunken.

With the right false lashes and makeup look, if you’ve got deep set eyes, you can bring out your eyes to look twice as big. Just make sure you get the balance right between your brow bone and eyes.

How to Tell if Your Eyes are Deep Set?
