Which lashes suit you?

Which false lashes suit my eye shape?

Choose lashes for your eye shape and the effect you want. You can emphasise your natural shape or try a different look. These suggestions are starting points, not fixed rules.

• Almond eyes: lashes that gradually lengthen towards the outer corner emphasise the elongated shape.
• Round eyes: extra length in the centre highlights the round shape; more length at the outer corner creates an elongated effect.
• Hooded eyes: try extra length in the centre. With your eyes relaxed and open, check how much of the lashes remains visible.
• Deep-set eyes: an airy style with medium volume can help lashes stand out. Check the length so the tips do not touch the skin above your eyes.
• Monolid eyes: varied lengths or criss-cross fibres can add dimension. Choose the volume that suits your look.

How can I recognise my eye shape if I am unsure?

Look straight ahead in a mirror with relaxed eyes, without raising your eyebrows.

• Almond: an elongated shape, with the iris usually touching both the upper and lower eyelid.
• Round: a rounder opening, often with some white visible above or below the iris.
• Hooded: skin above the crease covers part of the mobile eyelid.
• Deep-set: the eyes sit further back relative to the brow bone.
• Monolid: the upper eyelid has no clearly visible crease.

These features can overlap: your eyes can be both almond-shaped and hooded, for example. Choose the closest match in the quiz and consider your preferred style too.

Which lashes create a natural look?

Start with light volume, fine fibres and a modest amount of extra length. Compare product photos and the stated glamour level. Want to accentuate mainly the outer corner? Explore our half lashes. For a band across the full lash line, compare our full-strip lashes.

Which false lashes are suitable for beginners?

Half lashes can be a useful starting point: you place a shorter band at the outer corner. Check the fit without glue first, then follow your lash glue instructions. Want to choose your essentials together? Explore our lash starter kits and check which lashes, glue and applicator each set includes.

How does the Lash Quiz work?

Answer four questions, then enter your first name and email address in the form to view your results. The quiz uses your answers to recommend lashes from the By Dash Beauty collection.

What does the quiz ask?

• How often you wear lashes: from never tried to every day.
• Your eye shape: almond, deep-set, round, hooded or monolid.
• The length of your natural lashes: short, medium or long.
• Your preferred look: natural, elegant, glamour or over the top.

Prefer to compare lashes yourself?
