Quick answer
Choose Soho for a lifted, dramatic cat-eye effect that adds volume to outer corners. Choose Malibu for a natural, wispy flare that blends seamlessly with your own lashes.
How the designs differ
Both Soho and Malibu use a sheer invisible band, making them ideal for a barely-there lash line. The key difference is in the lash pattern. Soho features a clustered design concentrated on the outer corners, creating a cat-eye lift. Malibu uses a wispy, flared pattern with gradual length and volume throughout, mimicking the look of naturally full lashes.
Which eye shape suits each style
Soho's outer-corner emphasis works well for round or close-set eyes, as it visually lengthens and lifts the eye shape. Malibu's even, wispy distribution flatters almond and hooded eyes by adding balanced definition without overwhelming the natural eye shape.
Soho vs Malibu: The trade-offs
- Soho – dramatic cat-eye lift: Clustered outer-corner design adds length and volume for a lifted, sophisticated effect. Best for creating a more defined, eye-opening look.
- Malibu – natural wispy flare: Gradual length and volume distributed evenly across the band. Blends seamlessly with natural lashes for an effortless, coastal-glam finish.
- Band visibility: Both use a sheer invisible band that sits flush against the lash line. Neither requires heavy liner to conceal the band. Check your natural lash length: Soho works best if you want outer-corner drama; Malibu is better for all-over natural enhancement.
