How to Choose false lashes for upturned eyes

Upturned eyes have that natural "cat-eye" tail that points upward, which is a great base for lashes. But choosing a wrong style can skew the lift downward. Here are the 5 most important checks, and a chart to make it even clearer.

TOP 5 THINGS TO CHECK FOR UPTURNED EYES

Eye length: The lash should mirror your eye's natural almond length. Measure from inner corner to outer corner; a lash that extends more than 2–3 mm beyond the outer corner can make the eye look dragged down.
Curl direction: Choose an upward curl (L or M curl) at the outer corner. Avoid a down curl that flattens the natural lift.
Band flexibility: A rigid, thick band can tilt outward and pull the outer corner down. A soft lash band should follow your lash line curve.
Outer density: The densest part should sit at the outer third of the lash, not the center, to emphasize the upturn.
Weight: Keep the total lash weight below 0.2 grams. Heavy lashes on upturned eyes will press the outer tail downward over time.

FAQ

Do upturned eyes look better with a wing?

Yes, but keep the wing level with or slightly above the outer corner. A low wing can visually tilt the eye down.

Can I wear the same lashes as my friends?

Eye shape changes the fit. For upturned eyes, focus on the outer-corner angle and the flexibility of the band.
