The Best Mascaras For Your Eye Shape

A monolid is an eye shape that does not have a crease, per Healthline. When it comes to mascara, those with a monolid should look for a volumizing formula with a curved wand. Birchbox recommends the ​​Marcelle Xtension Plus Curl Mascara, a lengthening formula that helps spread out the lashes for a wide-eye look. 

Insider also offers a few more affordable options, including Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara, which will give shorter lashes a longer, fuller look, or Urban Decay Perversion Waterproof Mascara, which is a bit pricier but well worth it for the thick and creamy formula. Plus, the waterproof aspect will keep your lashes looking perfect all day long. 

Makeup artist Maria Ortega told Ipsy that those with monolids want to make sure they focus on layering their mascara, rather than applying it in clumps, saying that one should ​​"wiggle the mascara wand from side to side at the base of lashes and extend out." If you want something a bit more than just mascara can offer, she also recommends using falsies — just make sure to stick to a lighter option for a more natural look, as the thicker kinds can weigh your eyes down.
