Spring Lash Trends: Pastel Accent Lashes You'll Love
Spring is the season for fresh starts, and your lash line is the perfect place to try something playful. Pastel accent lashes — tiny pops of lavender, sky blue, or mint — are the most wearable trend to hit the beauty world this year. Here's how to wear them, where to place them, and how to pick a pair that flatters your eye shape.

TAKE THE QUIZ →WHAT ARE PASTEL ACCENT LASHES?
Pastel accent lashes are false lashes that feature a hint of color at the tips, inner corners, or along the lash line. Unlike full-on neon lashes, pastels read as soft and editorial — not costume. You can wear them over a neutral eye and look polished in under five minutes.
THE TOP 5 PASTEL LASH TRENDS THIS SPRING
- Lavender tips. A light purple finish at the ends of black lashes. Pairs beautifully with grey eyeliner for an airy spring day.
- Sky-blue under-lash. Tiny blue flecks placed below the lash line. It adds a surprise pop that catches the light.
- Mint green scattered. The trendiest of the bunch. Mint is fresh, playful, and works for festivals and outdoor birthdays.
- Pastel pink inner-corner accent. Just a few pink lashes at the inner corner. This placement makes your eyes look more awake and even.
- Butter-yellow feather tips. A warm, sunlit frosted tip. Looks stunning on olive and dark skin tones.
HOW TO CHOOSE PASTEL ACCENT LASHES FOR YOUR EYE SHAPE
- Round eyes: Choose accents on the outer corners to elongate the eye.
- Almond eyes: You can pull off any placement. Try inner-corner accents to highlight symmetry.
- Hooded eyes: Keep the accent on the tips of the lashes, not the band, so the color isn't hidden when your eyes are open.
- Deep-set eyes: Curl your natural lashes first, then apply the accent. The lift will make the color visible.

PASTEL ACCENT LASH QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Can you wear pastel lashes to work or school?
Yes. Choose a subtle placement like the inner corner or tips. They look like a soft shimmer until someone gets close.
How do you apply accent lashes?
If you're using lash clusters, apply them exactly where you want the accent. If you're using a full lash, trim the accent portion and layer it over the band.
Are pastel lashes safe for sensitive eyes?
Look for hypoallergenic adhesive and avoid lashes with heavy dyes. I always recommend patch testing the glue behind your ear first.
