Do not use lashes on _____ set eyes.

  1. Wide

  2. Downward

  3. Protruding

  4. Deep

The correct answer is: Downward

When considering the application of eyelash extensions, it’s crucial to understand the effects that different eye shapes can have on the final look. Downward set eyes are characterized by a shape where the outer corners of the eyes droop, which can create a heavy or sad appearance if extensions are not applied thoughtfully. Using lashes on downward set eyes may exacerbate this droopiness; the weight and length of the extensions can pull the eye shape down even further, making the eyes appear more closed or heavy. Instead, it is often recommended to use techniques that lift and open the eyes, such as opting for shorter extensions on the outer corners or a more dramatic approach on the inner corners to visually counteract the downward tilt. Regarding the other eye shapes mentioned, they each may benefit from the appropriate style of lash application. Wide-set eyes can handle a variety of lash styles to emphasize their natural shape, protruding eyes can benefit from specific lengths and curls that complement their depth, and deep-set eyes might be enhanced with advanced lash techniques that highlight their unique contours. Each requires careful consideration but does not face the same risk as downward set eyes when it comes to lash application.
