The Best House of Lashes for Monolids: A Complete Buying Guide

If you have monolids, you know the struggle of finding false lashes that actually flatter your eye shape. Many lash styles are designed for double eyelids, but with the right shape and length, you can achieve a stunning look that enhances your natural beauty. House of Lashes offers a variety of styles that work beautifully for monolids, and in this guide, we'll walk you through the best options.

Monolids are characterized by a lack of a crease, which means the eyelid skin is smooth from brow to lash line. This doesn't mean you can't rock gorgeous lashes—it just means you need to choose styles that add dimension and lift without overwhelming your eyes. We've curated a list of House of Lashes that are perfect for monolids, whether you're going for a subtle everyday look or a bold, dramatic statement.

What to Look for in Lashes for Monolids

When shopping for lashes for monolids, there are a few key factors to consider. First, the lash band should be flexible and comfortable, as it needs to sit close to the lash line without digging into the skin. A clear or dark band can help blend seamlessly, depending on your preference.

Second, the length and curl of the lashes matter. Monolids tend to benefit from lashes that are longer in the center to create the illusion of a lifted, rounder eye. Curled lashes are also essential, as they help open up the eye and prevent the lashes from pointing downward. Finally, consider the density—lighter, more feathery lashes often look more natural on monolids, while heavier styles can be reserved for special occasions.

• Flexible band that conforms to your lash line
• Center-length emphasis to enhance the eye shape
• Curl that lifts and opens the eye
• Density that matches your desired look

Top House of Lashes Styles for Monolids

One of the most flattering styles for monolids is the Emiko. These lashes feature a natural, wispy design with a gentle curl that adds just the right amount of lift. The band is lightweight and comfortable, making them perfect for everyday wear. Whether you're heading to work or out for brunch, Emiko will enhance your eyes without looking overdone.

For a more dramatic look, consider the Frisky. These lashes are longer and more voluminous, with a crisscross pattern that adds depth and dimension. They're ideal for evenings out or special events when you want to make a statement. The key is to apply them slightly above your natural lash line to create the illusion of a crease and lift.

• Emiko: natural, wispy, perfect for daily wear
• Frisky: dramatic, voluminous, great for nights out

How to Apply Lashes on Monolids for Best Results

Applying lashes on monolids takes a bit of practice, but with the right technique, you'll get the hang of it. Start by measuring the lash band against your eye and trimming any excess from the outer corner. Apply a thin layer of lash glue to the band and wait a few seconds for it to become tacky.

Place the lash as close to your natural lash line as possible, but don't press it into the skin—this can cause the lash to lift. Use your fingers or tweezers to gently press the lash down, focusing on the center first, then the corners. For monolids, it's often helpful to apply the lash slightly higher than your natural lash line to create the appearance of a crease and open up the eye.

• Trim the lash to fit your eye shape
• Use a high-quality lash glue for long-lasting hold
• Press the lash down from center to corners
• Apply slightly above the natural lash line for a lifted effect

Pairing Your Lashes with the Right Glue

The right lash glue can make all the difference when it comes to keeping your lashes in place. For monolids, you may need a stronger hold to keep the lash from lifting, especially if you have oily eyelids. House of Lashes offers both clear and dark glues, so you can choose based on your lash style and preference.

Our HOL® Clear Lash Glue is perfect for natural looks, as it dries invisible and won't interfere with your lash design. If you're using darker lashes or want extra hold, the HOL® Dark Lash Glue is a great choice. It dries matte black, which helps blend the band with your lash line for a seamless finish. Both glues are long-wearing and safe for sensitive eyes.

• HOL® Clear Lash Glue: invisible finish, ideal for natural looks
• HOL® Dark Lash Glue: strong hold, matte black finish

Caring for Your Lashes and Eyes

Once you've found your perfect lashes, it's important to care for them properly to ensure they last. After each wear, gently remove any glue residue and store them in a clean, dry place. Our HOL Travel Bag is perfect for keeping your lashes safe and organized, whether you're at home or on the go.

Also, remember to remove your lashes gently at the end of the day. Never pull them off roughly, as this can damage both the lashes and your natural lashes. With proper care, your House of Lashes can be reused multiple times, making them a great investment for your beauty routine.

• Clean lashes after each use
• Store in a lash case or travel bag
• Remove gently to avoid damage
