Best Lashes for Monolid Eyes: Top Styles to Add Definition and Lift
Monolid eyes are stunning and unique, often seen in celebrities like Lucy Liu, Awkwafina, and TWICE’s Dahyun. This eye shape doesn’t have a visible crease, which means the eyelid appears flat and smooth. While monolids are a beautiful canvas, certain lash styles can help add definition, depth, and lift.
Choose lash styles that have a variation in lengths, with a light to medium fullness. Avoid very full, one length lash styles as they will give a heavy appearance closing up the eyes.
Best Lash Styles for Monolid Eyes
1. Doll-Eye Lashes (Longer in the Center)
These lashes open up the eyes by drawing attention to the center. Perfect for creating a wide, awake look.

Lifted Cat-Eye Lashes
For a bit more drama, go for a winged modified cat eye look. Styles that are longer on the outer corners give a beautiful lifting effect, elongating the eye shape.

Wide Eye Look
Another variation of the cat-eye is the wide-eye lash map, where the longest lash is placed just before the outer corner. This placement draws attention outward, making the eyes appear both bigger and wider. It combines the openness of a round-eye look with the lift of a cat-eye—for the best of both worlds.

Lash Styles to Avoid
-
Thick bands: These can weigh down the lid and feel uncomfortable on monolids.
-
Overly long lashes: Super long styles can overshadow the eyes and reduce visibility of the lashes when eyes are open.
- Dense lash clusters: with fullness from base to tip
Pro Tip:
Curl your natural lashes and press the false lashes upward after application. This gives a more open, lifted look, especially helpful with monolids.
