HOW TO CHOOSE TAPERED FOR UPTURNED EYES

THE BEAUTY OF THE UPTURNED EYE

Upturned eyes are incredibly elegant—they naturally sweep upward. But sometimes, a lash can look too 'done' or drag the eye down. Understanding how to choose tapered lashes for upturned eyes is about working with your specific geometry to enhance, not overpower.

WHY TAPERED STYLES ARE THE ULTIMATE COMPLEMENT

Styles with heavy outer corners can make an upturned eye look overly stretched or cartoonish. The natural lift doesn't need artificial height. Tapered styles mimic the natural lash line. They are shortest at the inner and outer corners, gradually peaking in the middle or slightly off-center. This softens the intense lift while highlighting it.

YOUR 3-STEP SELECTION GUIDE

  1. Focus on the Outer Corner: Look for styles that have the longest hairs gently tapering at the very end. This prevents a heavy, downward drag.
  2. Match the Curl: Opt for a C or D curl to match the natural upward sweep of your lashes. A flatter curl can fight your natural shape.
  3. Prioritize Midpoint Volume: A style with a subtle peak midpoint creates a balanced, beautiful almond illusion without looking costumey.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a tapered lash style?

A tapered lash consists of varying lengths that are shortest on the inner and outer ends and gradually build to a central peak, mirroring the natural growth pattern of lashes.

Will tapered lashes hide my natural shape?

No, quite the opposite. Tapered styles are designed to highlight your natural eye shape by softening the edges and accentuating the existing lift of upturned eyes.

Can I wear dramatic versions of tapered styles?

Absolutely. You can find tapered designs in dramatic volumes. They simply use the same soft grading to ensure the drama doesn't overwhelm your distinct eye shape.
