Lashes can enhance your entire makeup look for the day. They make your eyes stand out, and can provide a girly, romantic affect, or showcase your edgy style. But even if you choose to wear fake lashes that are a little more glamorous and noticeable, you still want people to wonder whether they’re actually yours. Here are a few tips for keeping your lashes, full, wispy, and natural-looking.

First, take a good look at the shape of your eyes.  Are they almond-shaped? Does your eyelid resemble a straight line, or is there a curve at the end? Observing these details will help you to choose the lashes that will complement your face and eye shape. For instance, if you have smaller eyes, choose lashes that are are very wispy, instead of the thicker variety. Heavier lashes will make your eyes appear even smaller. Fuller lashes, however, help to balance larger eyes and give them more definition.
