Lashify is known for its innovation and utilizing the latest technology in lash creation. Becoming a leader in lash development and design. However, at times the technology available is not sufficient to keep up with the creative mind of Sahara Lotti!! Since 2016 Sahara (owner and creator of Lashify) has been in search of technology needed to produce her ideas and inventions. For example, one of the top questions clients ask themselves is, “what eye shape do I have,” “what lash length is best for me”? or, “what is the best lash extension style for my eye shape”? As an e-commerce brand, what if we could scan your facial features, determine your eye shape, and find the most suitable lashes for different eye shapes? Would be amazing, right?! Well, guess what?! Lashify has done it again! Introducing the patent pending: Virtual Eye Shape Calibrator.
Why Eye Shape Matters in Lash Application
When it comes to lashes, it’s not one-size-fits-all. Your eye shape plays a significant role in how certain lash styles look on you. Understanding your eye shape allows you to choose classic lashes or more voluminous styles that highlight your natural beauty, giving you the perfect balance between length, volume, and curl.
Different eye shapes suit different lash styles, and that’s where Lashify comes in. With the Virtual Eye Shape Calibrator, you can now find lashes for different eye shapes that perfectly complement your natural features. Whether you have almond shaped eyes, round, or hooded eyes, this tool ensures your lashes are the star of the show.
When you match the right eyelash extension style to your eye shape, you’ll not only get a more flattering look but also a more comfortable and natural feel. No more guessing games — just lashes tailored to you!
What is the Virtual Eye Shape Calibrator?
Lashify has teamed up with technology that uses the latest advances in 3D AI and graphics to create accurate 3D model faces. This technology was originally developed during the pandemic to make custom fit 3D printed N95 face masks for healthcare workers. Now, this technology can be used by trend setting beauty brands like Lashify to help provide the perfect custom lash maps and the right lash extension products for you! The length and style you choose mainly depends on lid space, and your personal style and preference. The eye shape calibrator will provide your full size range and the average length which is the most flattering for your eye shape.
How does it work?
The eye shape calibrator is advanced when it comes to providing eye shapes. While most eye shape infographics found online keep things pretty simple, and group things together when describing an eye shape, our calibrator is precise. For example, when referring to eye shapes, most of the time you will find monolid eyes and hooded eyes listed as an eye shape. However, these are lid types not eye shapes. Our calibrator not only provides a lid type, but also the proper shape through precise measurements. From there, it provides a full size range based on the spacing between your lash line and brow bone. Along with the most flattering length based on your measurements.
To start, scan the barcode, click “Get Started”, and answer a couple questions to determine your lid type. Your lid type is established by eyelid crease visibility and whether you have a skin fold over your crease.
The next step is to allow access to your camera, and scan your facial features. Ensure you are looking straight into the camera, at arms length from the camera. Avoid getting too close to the camera, or angling the phone. (This feature is currently only available on mobile, and not iPads or desktop) Be as still as possible, place both eyes inside the box, and click begin your analysis.
Then you get your results in a matter of seconds! The calibrator will provide the following:
- Your lid type and eye shape
- Your eye real estate (eye spacing measurements)
- Right and Left eye specific measurements (just toggle the button for specifics)
- Your most flattering lash length
- A full size range from shortest to longest
- 3-5 Recommended lash maps with varied intensity
This information will provide you with the longest length you can wear based on your spacing. The featured length will be your average size and the most flattering on your eye shape. For example if you get an average length of 14mm, your go-to lash map will likely consist of 10 - 14 mm. Shorter lengths will be great if you prefer a more natural lash map, while 16 - 18mm can be for special occasions or if you generally prefer a more dramatic look.
Then based on your eye shape and measurements you will see anywhere from 3-5 suggested lash maps for you to try! Just slide the button to see the different options, to build your lash wardrobe! The possibilities for lash maps are endless! So if you don’t see your favorite lash map, or you have other ideas to try, by all means have fun and adjust the map to your liking!
And this is only the beginning! With the help of precision AI technology, soon our calibrator will be able to provide you with the best styles for your eye shape, shoppable bundles with your lash map, and much more!

Lash Maps for Every Occasion
One of the coolest features of the Virtual Eye Shape Calibrator is the custom lash maps it provides. Lash cluster maps aren’t just about length; they also help you style your lashes based on the look you’re going for — from a natural daytime vibe to full-on glam for a special event. Here’s how you can make the most of your DIY eyelash extensions kit:
- Everyday Natural Look: Keep it simple with shorter lash lengths and subtle volume. The calibrator will suggest a range like 10mm-12mm for a clean, effortless look.
- Office or Day Out: Add a bit more volume and length with a mix of 12mm-14mm lashes. Perfect for a polished, put-together vibe without being over the top.
- Night Out or Special Occasion: Want to make a statement? Go bold with lengths between 14mm-18mm, creating a dramatic look that turns heads.
With the calibrator, switching between looks has never been easier. You can quickly adjust your lash map to match the occasion, ensuring your lashes are always on point.
Lash Styles Based on Eye Shapes and Lid Types
Now that you know your eye shape, let’s match it with the perfect lash style! Lashify’s Gossamer lashes are designed to suit every eye shape, so here’s a guide to help you choose the right one.
- Almond Eyes: Almond eyes can pull off almost any lash style. Try Curl Gossamers for a natural lift or Bold Gossamers for a striking, full-volume look.
- Round Eyes: Balance your naturally wide eyes with cat eye or Hybrid styles. These shapes will elongate your eyes, giving them a sultry, feline effect.
- Hooded Eyes: Create the illusion of more lid space by using wispy lashes or fluffy Gossamers. These styles will add volume and lift without feeling heavy on the lids.
- Downturned Eyes: Brighten up your look with upturned lash styles like cat eye or squirrel eyelash styles. They’ll lift the outer corners and make your eyes appear more open.
- Monolid Eyes: Opt for Amplify or Starburst Gossamers to create depth and dimension. The variety of layers will help add volume and make your eyes pop.
Common Eye Shape and Lash Mistakes
We’ve all been there — trying out a new lash style only to feel like something’s a little off. The truth is, the lashes that look great on your favorite influencer might not work as well for your unique eye shape. Without considering your eye shape, you can easily run into these common mistakes:
- Wrong Lash Length: Choosing lashes that are too long for your eye shape can overpower your natural look or feel uncomfortable. The Virtual Eye Shape Calibrator takes care of that by suggesting the perfect length for your eyes.
- Incorrect Lash Curl: A curl that’s too tight can hide your lid, while a curl that’s too loose may not provide enough lift. Lashify’s calibrator identifies the most flattering curl for your specific eye shape and lid type.
- Ignoring Lid Space: If you don’t consider your lid space, you might end up with lashes that cover too much or too little of your eyelid, disrupting your overall look.
By using the Virtual Eye Shape Calibrator, you’ll avoid these common mistakes and step into the world of perfectly tailored lashes.
