I was 34 the first time a makeup artist diagnosed my face. 'Your lashes are making your features look wider,' she said, handing me a pair of Demi lashes. 'Try these, but place them slightly closer together in the center.' The change was immediate and staggering. It was the facial equivalent of a subtle rhinoplasty, achieved in three minutes with a pair of tweezers. The concentrated medium length of a Demi lash creates an artificial anchor point for your face. It tricks the brain into perceiving the inner corners of your eyes as closer together.

Why Demi? The Science of the 33% Rule

Most lash styles are built to elongate. They push the eye outwards. For wide-set eyes, this is a disaster. It pulls your features apart. A Demi lash shifts the volume to the center. This is what we call the 33% Rule in the editorial world: your lash flare should cover the middle third of your eye to create balance. Learn more about our Demi fit here.

3 Lessons I Learned From That Bridal Suite

• Lesson 1: Concentrate the length. The center flare contracts the face. Demi lashes are masters of this.
• Lesson 2: Avoid the outer 'wing'. A standard cat-eye wings outwards, widening the face further. Demi lashes taper gently without veering into 'flying wing' disaster territory.
• Lesson 3: Lift the center. A center-heavy lash naturally lifts the brow and opens the face, counteracting the horizontal stretch of wide-set eyes.
