Not all eyes are created the same — and that’s exactly why most false lashes fall flat for monolid eye shapes.
If you’ve ever applied lashes only to watch them disappear the moment you open your eyes, you’re not doing anything wrong. The problem isn’t your technique — it’s the design.
Let’s break it down.
What Are Monolid Eyes?
Monolid eyes are characterized by a smooth eyelid without a visible crease. The lid appears flat from lash line to brow, creating a beautiful, elongated eye shape — but also a unique challenge when it comes to lashes.
Common monolid features include:
-
Little to no visible eyelid crease
-
Lashes that grow straighter or downward
-
A lid structure that can “push” lashes flat
-
Limited vertical lid space for lift-focused products
Monolids are stunning, sculptural, and bold — but they require precision design, not generic beauty products.
Why Most Lash Products Don’t Work for Monolids
The majority of false lashes on the market are designed for crease-defined, deep-set, or almond eyes. That means they rely on curl types and band shapes that assume natural lift already exists.
For monolid eyes, this creates real problems:
1. Traditional curls disappear
C-curl and D-curl lashes often collapse against the lid, making lashes look straight or invisible from the front.
2. Heavy bands push lashes downward
Thick or rigid lash bands sit too heavy on the lash line, pulling lashes flat instead of lifting them.
3. Glue-based systems add weight
Extra adhesive adds bulk at the base, which can weigh down already-straight natural lashes — exactly the opposite of what monolids need.
4. One-size-fits-all designs ignore eye anatomy
Most brands design lashes to look dramatic on the model — not functional on real eye shapes.
The result?
Lashes that feel uncomfortable, look uneven, and fail to deliver lift.
Why Lift Is the #1 Priority for Monolid Eyes
For monolids, vertical lift matters more than volume.
The goal isn’t thickness — it’s:
-
Opening the eye
-
Creating visible structure
-
Preventing lashes from folding into the lid
-
Maintaining shape throughout the day
That’s where design becomes everything.
How Jetzi’s Major Lift Was Created Specifically for Monolid Eyes
Major Lift wasn’t created to follow trends — it was engineered to solve a real, recurring problem seen on monolid clients.
As a lash artist with over 15 years of experience, Jetzi’s founder saw the same issue again and again:
Beautiful eyes. Wrong lash design.
So Major Lift was built from the band up to work with monolid anatomy — not against it.
What makes Major Lift different?
1. Precision L-Curve Design
The L-curve creates a sharp upward angle at the base, delivering instant lift before volume even begins. This prevents the lash from collapsing into the lid.
2. Lightweight, flexible fiber structure
Major Lift uses weightless fibers that won’t pull the lash line down — critical for monolid eyes that need structure without heaviness.
3. Engineered to sit forward, not flat
Instead of lying horizontally, Major Lift projects upward and outward, making the lashes visible from the front — where monolids shine.
4. No glue = no extra bulk
The pre-glued base eliminates thick adhesive layers that weigh lashes down, keeping lift intact all day.
The Result: Lashes That Actually Show Up on Monolid Eyes
Major Lift doesn’t try to force monolids into a beauty standard they weren’t designed for.
It:
-
Enhances natural eye shape
-
Creates lift without discomfort
-
Stays visible with eyes open
-
Feels light, not heavy
-
Looks intentional — not overdone
This isn’t about “fixing” monolids.
It’s about designing for them.
Who Major Lift Is For
Major Lift is ideal if you:
-
Have monolid or low-crease eyes
-
Struggle with lashes disappearing
-
Want lift without bulk
-
Need a comfortable, all-day wear lash
-
Are tired of lashes that look great in the box but fail on your eyes
Final Thought
If lashes haven’t worked for you before, it’s not because monolid eyes are difficult.
It’s because the industry hasn’t been paying attention.
Major Lift is what happens when design starts with eye shape first.
