The Ultimate Eye Mapping Guide: How to Choose the Perfect Lash Style for Your Eye Shape
Choosing the right lash style can completely transform your look — but the secret isn’t just the lashes. It’s how you map them to your unique eye shape.
At Whip Lashes, we’ve created an easy lash map using our 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm clusters so you can customise your lash look like a total pro. Whether you want soft everyday ICON vibes or fuller GLAM impact, this guide will help you place each cluster exactly where it flatters you most.
Let’s break it down eye shape by eye shape, using the same mapping shown in our Lash Guide.
Almond Eyes
Goal: Enhance natural shape
Almond eyes suit almost every lash style — lucky you.
Use a classic gradient to enhance your natural lift:
-
Inner: 10mm
-
Centre: 12mm
-
Outer: 14mm
This softly opens the eye while adding length where it counts.
✨ Perfect for both ICON and GLAM.
Downward Tilting Eyes
Goal: Lift the outer corners
When the outer corner dips slightly, the trick is to create lift by placing your longest clusters slightly higher up.
-
Inner: Skip or use a tiny 10mm
-
Centre: 12mm + 12mm
-
Outer: 14mm
Apply your outer cluster at a slightly upward angle for a natural “mini fox-eye” effect.
Narrow-Set Eyes
Goal: Bring focus toward the centre + outer corners
If your eyes sit closer together, you want to visually widen the look.
-
Inner: 10mm
-
Centre: 10mm + 12mm
-
Outer: 14mm + 14mm
Start your first cluster a tiny bit away from the inner corner to open the space.
Hooded Eyes
Goal: Lift the lid + avoid heaviness
Hooded eyes can handle length, but not too much right in the centre where the lid sits closest to the lash line.
-
Inner: 10mm
-
Centre: 12mm + 12mm
-
Outer: 12mm (placed slightly higher)
Focus your longest lengths from the mid-point outward to give the lid a lighter, more lifted look.
Round Eyes
Goal: Elongate + avoid heaviness in the centre
Round eyes are gorgeous but can look “doll-like” if the centre is too full. Instead, pull the shape outwards.
-
Inner: 10mm
-
Centre: 10mm
-
Outer: 14mm + 14mm
This creates that sleek, elongated cat-eye effect while balancing the natural openness of your eyes.
Low-Crease Lids
Goal: Add definition without heaviness
If you have smooth, minimal-crease lids, you want lashes that add shape but don’t overpower the eye.
-
Inner: 10mm
-
Centre: 12mm
-
Outer: 12mm + 12mm
A consistent mid-length across the centre and outer corners gives definition while keeping the look soft and flattering.
Which Lash Style Should You Choose?
-
ICON → soft, natural, everyday wear
-
GLAM → fuller, more dramatic volume
Your eye shape decides the placement, but your vibe decides the style.
Remember: Every eye is unique
Your lash map is a guide, not a rulebook.
Have fun experimenting, adjusting lengths, and playing with what feels most flattering for your eyes.
✨ Your perfect lash look is the one that makes you feel confident.
