LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones!

The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles. Tailor the lash set to complement and harmonize with their unique facial structure.

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles. Tailor the lash set to complement and harmonize with their unique facial structure.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones!

The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

HOW DO YOU MAP WISPY EYELASH EXTENSIONS? Start by identifying high spots, which will be where the spikes will be placed. This way, you'll be able to imagine the appearance you want right from the start. If your client doesn't have any special requests, we don't recommend using the same length lashes for all of the spikey tips. Start with an 11-12mm spike for the first one, then move up to 13-14mm for the second one, and finally 16mm for the final one. The highest point of the eye can be in the middle or near the outer corner. ( We do have a FULL ONLINE course on wispy lashes, where we teach you this in-depth ) If you are interested in our Online Wispy Training Course, please click here. The first will widen the eyes, while the second will give it a feathered appearance. Which one you choose is totally determined by the client's preferences and the form of their eyes. So the wispy lashes / Kim K lashes are applied using specific wispy lashes mapping, which gives that wispy, uneven lash line. This type of styling is great for girls that love to wear a lot of makeup and have a very bright outgoing personality. For exceptional events, we recommend the Kim K style / wispy lashes. This look can definitely be adjusted to fit a more low-key personality or lifestyle, by making it a shorter length or making the contrast between the wisps a little less pronounced. This style can also be reproduced in classic as well as hybrid styles for girls that want a more low-key look.

Lashes, Lash Wisps, Velour Lash Adhesive, Eyelash Extension Ballet Slippers Tape and Hydro-gel Under Eye Patches used in this set. To shop, please click here. Although you already have mapping on your tape, I would highly recommend drawing dots on the eyelids, as well. In fact, when you move the tape or remove the patches in the middle of the lash set, your mapping can easily get lost. When you are done with the lash set and start removing the tapes or patches, the dot will still be there to check if everything is symmetrical and even once the client opens her eyes. The tendency of the tapes and patches to move during the procedure of lash extensions makes them not the most reliable place to put the mapping. Since tape and patches stretch, the mapping can easily be ruined. Having a backup system ( drawn dots indicating the mapping ) this system will allow for a helpful way to stick to the original mapping.

The tip to correct the asymmetry, if for example the left eye is visually lowered than the right eye, you can make the lengths on the left eye used for the wisps 2-3 mm longer than the right eye. This will end up correcting the asymmetry and visually lift up the left eye to the same level as the right eye.

WISPY LASH EXTENSIONS CARE Wispy lash extensions necessitate extra attention and are time-consuming to maintain.

Keep the extensions dry for 4 to 6 hours after the lash appointment. All oil-based products should be kept away from the lashes. The oil will cause the adhesive to break down, which will lead to lash extension loss. No lash perming! No saunas, facials, or swimming in the pool within 4-6 hours of lash application. Avoid poking your head into the oven if you're baking. It's capable of burning your extensions! Turn your head away from the oven when putting something in or taking something out. Instead of trying to remove the wispy lashes on your own, book an appointment with your lash artist. After getting wispy eyelashes, brush your lashes on a daily basis. Brushing takes care of the majority of issues. Brush your lashes gently if you see anything improper with them.

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles. Tailor the lash set to complement and harmonize with their unique facial structure.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones!

The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

HOW DO YOU MAP WISPY EYELASH EXTENSIONS? Start by identifying high spots, which will be where the spikes will be placed. This way, you'll be able to imagine the appearance you want right from the start. If your client doesn't have any special requests, we don't recommend using the same length lashes for all of the spikey tips. Start with an 11-12mm spike for the first one, then move up to 13-14mm for the second one, and finally 16mm for the final one. The highest point of the eye can be in the middle or near the outer corner. ( We do have a FULL ONLINE course on wispy lashes, where we teach you this in-depth ) If you are interested in our Online Wispy Training Course, please click here. The first will widen the eyes, while the second will give it a feathered appearance. Which one you choose is totally determined by the client's preferences and the form of their eyes. So the wispy lashes / Kim K lashes are applied using specific wispy lashes mapping, which gives that wispy, uneven lash line. This type of styling is great for girls that love to wear a lot of makeup and have a very bright outgoing personality. For exceptional events, we recommend the Kim K style / wispy lashes. This look can definitely be adjusted to fit a more low-key personality or lifestyle, by making it a shorter length or making the contrast between the wisps a little less pronounced. This style can also be reproduced in classic as well as hybrid styles for girls that want a more low-key look.

Lashes, Lash Wisps, Velour Lash Adhesive, Eyelash Extension Ballet Slippers Tape and Hydro-gel Under Eye Patches used in this set. To shop, please click here. Although you already have mapping on your tape, I would highly recommend drawing dots on the eyelids, as well. In fact, when you move the tape or remove the patches in the middle of the lash set, your mapping can easily get lost. When you are done with the lash set and start removing the tapes or patches, the dot will still be there to check if everything is symmetrical and even once the client opens her eyes. The tendency of the tapes and patches to move during the procedure of lash extensions makes them not the most reliable place to put the mapping. Since tape and patches stretch, the mapping can easily be ruined. Having a backup system ( drawn dots indicating the mapping ) this system will allow for a helpful way to stick to the original mapping.

The oil will cause the adhesive to break down, which will lead to lash extension loss. No lash perming! No saunas, facials, or swimming in the pool within 4-6 hours of lash application. Avoid poking your head into the oven if you're baking. It's capable of burning your extensions! Turn your head away from the oven when putting something in or taking something out. Instead of trying to remove the wispy lashes on your own, book an appointment with your lash artist. After getting wispy eyelashes, brush your lashes on a daily basis. Brushing takes care of the majority of issues. Brush your lashes gently if you see anything improper with them.

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set.

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles. Tailor the lash set to complement and harmonize with their unique facial structure.

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles. Tailor the lash set to complement and harmonize with their unique facial structure.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes.

These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones.

If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer!

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones!

The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones!

The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

HOW DO YOU MAP WISPY EYELASH EXTENSIONS? Start by identifying high spots, which will be where the spikes will be placed. This way, you'll be able to imagine the appearance you want right from the start. If your client doesn't have any special requests, we don't recommend using the same length lashes for all of the spikey tips. Start with an 11-12mm spike for the first one, then move up to 13-14mm for the second one, and finally 16mm for the final one. The highest point of the eye can be in the middle or near the outer corner. ( We do have a FULL ONLINE course on wispy lashes, where we teach you this in-depth ) If you are interested in our Online Wispy Training Course, please click here. The first will widen the eyes, while the second will give it a feathered appearance. Which one you choose is totally determined by the client's preferences and the form of their eyes. So the wispy lashes / Kim K lashes are applied using specific wispy lashes mapping, which gives that wispy, uneven lash line. This type of styling is great for girls that love to wear a lot of makeup and have a very bright outgoing personality. For exceptional events, we recommend the Kim K style / wispy lashes. This look can definitely be adjusted to fit a more low-key personality or lifestyle, by making it a shorter length or making the contrast between the wisps a little less pronounced. This style can also be reproduced in classic as well as hybrid styles for girls that want a more low-key look.

Lashes, Lash Wisps, Velour Lash Adhesive, Eyelash Extension Ballet Slippers Tape and Hydro-gel Under Eye Patches used in this set. To shop, please click here. Although you already have mapping on your tape, I would highly recommend drawing dots on the eyelids, as well. In fact, when you move the tape or remove the patches in the middle of the lash set, your mapping can easily get lost. When you are done with the lash set and start removing the tapes or patches, the dot will still be there to check if everything is symmetrical and even once the client opens her eyes. The tendency of the tapes and patches to move during the procedure of lash extensions makes them not the most reliable place to put the mapping. Since tape and patches stretch, the mapping can easily be ruined. Having a backup system ( drawn dots indicating the mapping ) this system will allow for a helpful way to stick to the original mapping.

This will end up correcting the asymmetry and visually lift up the left eye to the same level as the right eye.

WISPY LASH EXTENSIONS CARE Wispy lash extensions necessitate extra attention and are time-consuming to maintain.

Hydro-gel Under Eye Patches, Ultra Crystal Bond, Lashes and Lash Wisps used in this set. To shop, please click here. Take care of your wispy lashes. Avoid rubbing or pulling them. Keep the extensions dry for 4 to 6 hours after the lash appointment. All oil-based products should be kept away from the lashes. The oil will cause the adhesive to break down, which will lead to lash extension loss. No lash perming! No saunas, facials, or swimming in the pool within 4-6 hours of lash application. Avoid poking your head into the oven if you're baking. It's capable of burning your extensions! Turn your head away from the oven when putting something in or taking something out.

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles. Tailor the lash set to complement and harmonize with their unique facial structure.

NATURAL LASH MAPPING As lash artists, we need to understand the importance of natural-looking lash extensions that perfectly complement your client's eye shape.

DOLL EYE LASH MAPPING If you're looking to make your client's eyes appear bigger and correct the appearance of downturned eyes, the Open eye or doll eye lash mapping style is a perfect choice. This technique involves strategically placing longer lash extensions over the iris, following straight lines, and then gracefully dropping down on the inner and outer corners.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones! For more tips like this one be sure to subscribe to our email list, we send very informative and helpful emails every week, please click here. The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

LASH MAPPING (SHORT / MEDIUM / LONG) Lash mapping is the process of drawing a diagram of the areas where you're going to apply lashes.

Pick dolly eye mapping and or a natural mapping to remove the emphasis on the outer corner of the client's eye and improve focus on the inner corner by filling in the inner corners.

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles. Tailor the lash set to complement and harmonize with their unique facial structure.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones.

If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer!

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles. Tailor the lash set to complement and harmonize with their unique facial structure.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones!

The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles. Tailor the lash set to complement and harmonize with their unique facial structure.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones!

The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles. Tailor the lash set to complement and harmonize with their unique facial structure.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones!

The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles. Tailor the lash set to complement and harmonize with their unique facial structure.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones!

The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles. Tailor the lash set to complement and harmonize with their unique facial structure.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones!

The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles. Tailor the lash set to complement and harmonize with their unique facial structure.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones! For more tips like this one be sure to subscribe to our email list, we send very informative and helpful emails every week, please click here. The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

HOW DO YOU MAP WISPY EYELASH EXTENSIONS? Start by identifying high spots, which will be where the spikes will be placed. This way, you'll be able to imagine the appearance you want right from the start. If your client doesn't have any special requests, we don't recommend using the same length lashes for all of the spikey tips. Start with an 11-12mm spike for the first one, then move up to 13-14mm for the second one, and finally 16mm for the final one. The highest point of the eye can be in the middle or near the outer corner. ( We do have a FULL ONLINE course on wispy lashes, where we teach you this in-depth ) If you are interested in our Online Wispy Training Course, please click here. The first will widen the eyes, while the second will give it a feathered appearance. Which one you choose is totally determined by the client's preferences and the form of their eyes. So the wispy lashes / Kim K lashes are applied using specific wispy lashes mapping, which gives that wispy, uneven lash line. This type of styling is great for girls that love to wear a lot of makeup and have a very bright outgoing personality. For exceptional events, we recommend the Kim K style / wispy lashes. This look can definitely be adjusted to fit a more low-key personality or lifestyle, by making it a shorter length or making the contrast between the wisps a little less pronounced. This style can also be reproduced in classic as well as hybrid styles for girls that want a more low-key look.

Lashes, Lash Wisps, Velour Lash Adhesive, Eyelash Extension Ballet Slippers Tape and Hydro-gel Under Eye Patches used in this set. To shop, please click here. Although you already have mapping on your tape, I would highly recommend drawing dots on the eyelids, as well. In fact, when you move the tape or remove the patches in the middle of the lash set, your mapping can easily get lost. When you are done with the lash set and start removing the tapes or patches, the dot will still be there to check if everything is symmetrical and even once the client opens her eyes. The tendency of the tapes and patches to move during the procedure of lash extensions makes them not the most reliable place to put the mapping. Since tape and patches stretch, the mapping can easily be ruined. Having a backup system ( drawn dots indicating the mapping ) this system will allow for a helpful way to stick to the original mapping.

HOW DO YOU MAP WISPY EYELASH EXTENSIONS? Start by identifying high spots, which will be where the spikes will be placed. This way, you'll be able to imagine the appearance you want right from the start. If your client doesn't have any special requests, we don't recommend using the same length lashes for all of the spikey tips. Start with an 11-12mm spike for the first one, then move up to 13-14mm for the second one, and finally 16mm for the final one. The highest point of the eye can be in the middle or near the outer corner. ( We do have a FULL ONLINE course on wispy lashes, where we teach you this in-depth ) If you are interested in our Online Wispy Training Course, please click here. The first will widen the eyes, while the second will give it a feathered appearance. Which one you choose is totally determined by the client's preferences and the form of their eyes. So the wispy lashes / Kim K lashes are applied using specific wispy lashes mapping, which gives that wispy, uneven lash line. This type of styling is great for girls that love to wear a lot of makeup and have a very bright outgoing personality. For exceptional events, we recommend the Kim K style / wispy lashes. This look can definitely be adjusted to fit a more low-key personality or lifestyle, by making it a shorter length or making the contrast between the wisps a little less pronounced. This style can also be reproduced in classic as well as hybrid styles for girls that want a more low-key look.

Lashes, Lash Wisps, Velour Lash Adhesive, Eyelash Extension Ballet Slippers Tape and Hydro-gel Under Eye Patches used in this set. To shop, please click here. Although you already have mapping on your tape, I would highly recommend drawing dots on the eyelids, as well. In fact, when you move the tape or remove the patches in the middle of the lash set, your mapping can easily get lost. When you are done with the lash set and start removing the tapes or patches, the dot will still be there to check if everything is symmetrical and even once the client opens her eyes. The tendency of the tapes and patches to move during the procedure of lash extensions makes them not the most reliable place to put the mapping. Since tape and patches stretch, the mapping can easily be ruined. Having a backup system ( drawn dots indicating the mapping ) this system will allow for a helpful way to stick to the original mapping.

The tip to correct the asymmetry, if for example the left eye is visually lowered than the right eye, you can make the lengths on the left eye used for the wisps 2-3 mm longer than the right eye. This will end up correcting the asymmetry and visually lift up the left eye to the same level as the right eye.

Click here to learn more! Are you ready to be the best lash artist? Good. Let's get started. The best lash extensions for clients will depend on their lash type, lifestyle, and style. If you understand what's important to your client, you can help enhance their look in the best possible way. When working with clients, you should take your time to discuss the style, length, and density options with them before you begin the process. It is essential to keep in mind that you do not want to make them look fake or overdone. Here are a few of the most trending lash styles: 1. CAT EYELASH EXTENSIONS If you're looking for a new look for your client, consider cat eyelashes. They are on-trend yet timeless at the same time. The application of cat eyelashes is similar to regular eyelash extensions. Only the extensions are placed in a way that they create a cat eye effect at the outer corner of the eye. To give the appearance of wide-set eyes, place the longest extensions on the outside edge of the natural lashes. This is a good option if your client has almond-shaped, close-set eyes. If your client wants something more daring than wispy lashes, cat eye lashes might be what you need! These tapered extensions are longer on the outer corner and shorter in the inner corner to give a cat eye appearance that's all about drama! Cat eyelashes can also be customized with different lash lengths for each section so you can create an even more dramatic effect. Lashes and Ultra Crystal Clear Bond used in this set. To shop, please click here. SUITABLE FOR: The cat eye is perfect for clients who want a more dramatic look since it extends the natural lash line. It's ideal for clients with smaller eyes because it makes them look bigger and brighter. If your client has downturned eyes, cat eyelash extensions may be a good option for them. These styles can help lift the eyes and create a dramatic look. While keeping the beauty of the client's eyes, the cat eye will give length to the eye and help balance it even further towards that ideal Almond shape. It will also open up the eye and make it appear larger. NOT SUITABLE FOR: Cat eyelash style should be avoided if the client wants long lengths because they will attract attention to their eyes.

DOLL EYE EYELASH EXTENSIONS Do you have a client who wants to get pretty doll-like eyes without makeup? Then, doll eyelashes are what they need! This lash style will bring out the eyes and enhance them beautifully. Apply the extensions in the same direction as the natural lashes will give fuller, longer-looking lashes while keeping the natural lash style. If your client has almond or upturned eyes, this mapping will work perfectly and look great on them. Shorter lashes are applied to the inner and outer corners, while longer lashes are applied to the center of the eye. This style is perfect for monolid, hooded, and almond-shaped eyes since it opens up the eye area and gives it a perfect look. Doll eye eyelash extensions are the best choice for clients who want to look dramatic but look more natural. Promade Fans, Velour Lash Adhesive, Incredible Retention Primer and Super Bonder used in this set. To shop, please click here. SUITABLE FOR: Doll eye lashes will make almond-shaped eyes appear more prominent, but if the eyes of your clients are close together, avoid this lash type as it may make the eyes appear too large. If your client has a hooded or monolid eye shape, this style is ideal because it will keep their eyes looking lifted and open. If your client has wide-set eyes, doll eye extensions make their eyes appear more prominent. NOT SUITABLE FOR: A doll eye map is meant to create a full dramatic lash look. Before recommending this style, it's essential to consider the client's eye shape and personal preferences. Clients who prefer a more natural look may not like this style, as it can be rather dramatic and is better suited to those who prefer a fuller, more dramatic look, especially with volume and mega volume styles. With this style of lash map, a doll map classic placed in shorter lengths can still seem very natural.

Do not use extensions like .18 mm and .20 mm. You will run into problems with these lashes because the weight of the extensions will pull down on the natural lashes and cause them to break off. D and C curls are not appropriate for a natural lash style. Both lash curls are best for lifting or exaggerating your client's lashes.

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles. Tailor the lash set to complement and harmonize with their unique facial structure.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones!

The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

LASH MAPPING (SHORT / MEDIUM / LONG) Lash mapping is the process of drawing a diagram of the areas where you're going to apply lashes. This helps ensure that the lashes are placed in a way that will look natural, so your clients will love them! COMMON LASH MAPPING MISTAKES AND HOW TO FIX THEM When you want your clients' eyelashes to look really nice, lash mapping is like a special tool you can use. It helps you figure out where to put the lash extensions so their eyes look amazing. But, sometimes, things don't go perfectly. No need to be upset! In this part, we'll discuss mistakes that often happen with lash mapping and teach you how to fix them. DOWNWARD FACING EYES Downward-facing eyes tend to look droopy if they are styled incorrectly. There are some contraindications for clients with this type of eye shape. You want to avoid the squirrel mapping since it will make the eyes look droopy like sad puppy dog eyes. We want to avoid this at all costs. Try this mapping to elevate the client's eye and correct the visual dropping effect. This is great for clients that need an extra lifting effect. LASH EXTENSIONS FOR HOODED EYES Every eye shape demands a tailored approach to lash extensions, and hooded eyes require special attention. With a distinctive fold of skin partially covering the eyelid, lash styling for hooded eyes can be challenging.

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones!

The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones!

The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

LASH MAPPING (SHORT / MEDIUM / LONG) Lash mapping is the process of drawing a diagram of the areas where you're going to apply lashes.

But you don't need to be a master artist to start creating beautiful, eye-catching sets. Here’s a straightforward rundown of the three types of spikes you can use to give your clients that anime look! Lash Wisps, Volume Lashes and Wet Volume Lashes are used here. To shop, please click here. LASH WISPS First off, lash wisps are a godsend for beginners. They’re very easy to use – you apply them just like classic lashes. No special skills or techniques are required. Just pick them up, dip in adhesive, and place them where you want that extra bit of length and volume. Lash Wisps, Volume Lashes, Wet Volume Lashes, and Oblong Tweezer are used here. To shop, please click here. LOOSE VOLUME LASHES When it comes to loose volume lashes, it’s all about the thickness. Skip the ultra-thin 0.03s – they’ll give you fluff but not the definition you want for spikes. Stick with 0.05 or 0.07 diameters for that sweet spot between boldness and manageability. Just remember, if you’re using them for spikes, glue aid will make them stick but won’t keep them spiky after a brush-through. They’ll blend more into a fluffy look than stand out as distinct spikes. Lash Wisps, Volume Lashes, Wet Volume Lashes, and Oblong Tweezer are used here. To shop, please click here. BONDED TIPS/WET LASHES Finally, there are lashes that are pre-bonded at the tips, often referred to as wet lashes because of their sleek appearance. These are great for a fuller, textured look but tread lightly – it’s easy to get carried away. The key is to not overload your client’s natural lashes. You want each spike to stand out without weighing down the natural lash line. Balance is everything; you want the drama without the droop. Lash Wisps, Volume Lashes, Wet Volume Lashes, and Oblong Tweezer are used here. To shop, please click here. LASH MAP FOR ANIME LASHES Lash mapping #1 This is one lash map for an anime set, it simply involves building spikes that are longer and anchoring them with shorter spikes on the side. For example, the longest spike is 10 mm in the inner corners. It is anchored by 2 9 mm spikes on the sides and the 9 mm spikes are anchored with the 8 mm spikes. This creates really intense spikes that are more visible. Optite Low Humidity Adhesive, Lash Wisps Mixed Lengths, Super Bonder, and Incredible Retention Primer are used in this set. To shop, please click here. The main central spike is always supported by at least 4 supportive spikes to make a chunky pyramid. Lash direction is incredibly important when working with anime lashes since the spikes all have a place. The spikes are typically more spaced apart, and there are less of them than in a traditional wispy set, for example, there are 5 spikes in this set, but they are larger and more pronounced.

BREAKING DOWN THE TIMELINE: HOW LONG DO ANIME LASHES LAST? Anime lashes have gained popularity for their unique and eye-catching style. If you have a client considering getting anime lash extensions, it's essential to understand their lifespan and maintenance requirements. Let's explore how long anime lashes typically last, taking into account both the upper and lower lash lines. Promade Organized Fans, Lash Wisps, Bullet Adhesive, Incredible Retention Primer, and Super Bonder are used in this set. To shop, please click here. The Duration of Upper Lash Line Extensions: Similar to other styles of lash extensions, the upper lash line for anime lashes can last for around 4 to 6 weeks. However, it's important to note that this duration can vary based on individual factors such as the growth cycle of your natural lashes and client's aftercare routine. Proper care, including regular cleansing, avoiding excessive rubbing, and refraining from using oil-based products, can contribute to prolonging their lifespan. The Lifespan of Lower Lash Line Extensions: In contrast to the upper lash line extensions, the lower lash line extensions for anime lashes have a shorter duration. Typically, they last for approximately 14 days (depending). The lower lashes tend to be thinner, shorter, and more delicate, making them more prone to falling out sooner. Therefore, it's crucial to be mindful of this shorter lifespan and consider the maintenance required for the lower lash line extensions. Factors Affecting Lash Extension Longevity: Several factors can impact the overall lifespan of anime lashes. These include: Natural lash growth cycle: The growth cycle of the natural lashes plays a significant role in determining how long the lash extensions will last. As the natural lashes shed, the attached extensions will naturally fall out with them. Aftercare routine: Following proper aftercare instructions is essential to maintain the longevity of the anime lash extensions. This includes gentle cleansing, avoiding excessive moisture, and refraining from using oil-based products that can weaken the adhesive bond. Individual habits: Certain habits, such as excessive rubbing of the eyes or sleeping face-down, can cause premature shedding of lash extensions. Being mindful of these habits can help extend the lifespan of the lashes.

LASH MAPPING MADE EASY: YOUR STEP-BY-STEP CHECKLIST Lash mapping is an essential step in creating stunning lash extensions that complement your client's unique features. Before you begin, it's crucial to consider various factors such as eye shape, angle, spacing, face shape, and even the direction and curl of the natural lashes. ANGLE OF THE EYES Take note of your client's eye angle, as it determines the positioning and direction of lash extensions. Eyes can be slightly upturned, slightly downturned or straight. Adjusting the lash placement based on the eye angle will create a harmonious and balanced look. SHAPE OF THE EYES Understanding your client's eye shape is fundamental for creating a lash set that enhances their natural features. Recognize whether their eyes are almond, round, hooded, or monolid, as each shape requires different lash placement techniques to achieve the desired effect. SPACING OF THE EYES When it comes to eye spacing, ideally, there should be approximately one eye's width between each eye for a balanced look. If the eyes are closer together than one eye-width, they are considered close-set or narrow-set, while eyes that have more than one eye width between them are classified as wide-set. This assessment helps in determining lash lengths and placement to achieve balance and symmetry. SHAPE OF THE FACE Consider your client's face shape when planning the lash set. For wider faces, more dramatic lash looks can be carried off effectively, while very narrow faces may appear overwhelmed by overly long lashes or wide cat-eye styles. Tailor the lash set to complement and harmonize with their unique facial structure.

First, let's determine their eye shape:Determine if your client's eyelid has a crease. If the upper eyelid is smooth, your client has a monolid, considered a primary eye shape. Look at the outer corners of your client's eyes and imagine a straight, horizontal line extending from the outer corner to your client's pupil. If the line is above their pupil, your client has upturned eyes, and if the line is below their pupil, your client has downturned eyes, both of which are considered basic eye shapes. Once you have determined the eye shape of your client, it's time to consider what type of mapping will compliment their eyes. It's important to know which shape will best suit their eyes. Here are some guidelines: Close set eyes can be enhanced with cat and squirrel lash lashes. These styles give your client a natural look while adding volume and length to their lashes.Wide set eyes work well with dolly and squirrel lashes. This gives them a more dramatic look without being too overpowering.Protruding eyes should be enhanced with squirrel and cat lashes. The drama of these lash styles will balance out the protruding effect of the eye shape.Round eyes are best suited for squirrel and cat lashes. These styles are often more delicate and look best on square faces too!Monolid eyes can work well with either natural, squirrel, or dolly lashes. Both styles will enhance the eye shape, so it's up to you as the lash artist to decide which type of lash looks best with your client's facial features.For almond-shaped eyes, natural, squirrel, and dolly lashes all work well. Depending on how deep your client's eye sockets are, you might want to go with a fuller style like natural or squirrel lashes—or even a thick set of cat eyelashes!If your client has upturned eyes, you'll want to choose a lash style that will bring out the natural beauty of their eyes. Natural lash styles are great for this, as they look very natural and help to highlight the color and shape of the eye. Cat lashes are also a good choice, as they give a more dramatic look than natural ones but retain some of their softness.If you're working with clients with downturned eyes, you'll want to focus more on bringing out the shape of their eyes. Squirrel lashes are great for this, as they help to create a more dramatic appearance and give an illusion of depth in the eye socket—this can be helpful for clients with smaller eyes or dark skin tones. You can also use cat lashes to bring out this effect even further or dolly lashes if your client has larger eyes or lighter skin tones! For more tips like this one be sure to subscribe to our email list, we send very informative and helpful emails every week, please click here. The shape of your client's face can significantly impact what kind of lashes suit them best. Here's how to tell which style will look best on your face: Let's start with the oval. Oval-shaped faces are very natural, so it's important to keep the look that way by going for a natural lash style like a squirrel. Squirrel lashes also add a lot of length and volume to your client's lashes, which is perfect for an oval face shape because it will make the eyes appear bigger and more open. If your client wants something more dramatic-looking, they should go with a dolly!Next up, we have hearts. Your client can choose between natural or squirrel. If they want something subtle but still noticeable, go with a squirrel!Round: Round face shapes are the most common face shape and are best suited for natural lash style. The round shape is wide at the cheekbones and narrows toward the chin. Round faces often have a full or rounded jawline and eyes that are close together. They can look like they have big eyes because the cheeks are so high. Lashes that are too long can make the eyes look smaller.Round faces with short eyelashes should try a more natural style like a dolly or soft curls to balance out their features. They should avoid lash styles that are too dramatic or have a lot of volume because they will make it harder for them to open their eyes wide enough!Square: Square face shapes are angular faces. They tend to be slim but have broad foreheads and narrow chins, making it hard for them to show off their features! Squares can pull off any style of lashes, but they would do well with a more dramatic style like the cat eye or squirrel! Spikes can also work on square faces because they draw attention back toward the eyes!Diamond-shaped faces are perfect for natural lashes. This shape is characterized by its sharp angle at the cheekbones, which means that a dolly lash style would look perfect on a diamond face. The dolly style has a slight curve in the middle, which makes it ideal for those with smaller eyes.Long faces are perfect for cat and squirrel lash styles. This face shape is characterized by having a longer length than width, so they should avoid styles with an elongated curl or length—this will make their eyes appear even longer! Instead, they should choose styles with more volume, or like cat or squirrel.

LASH MAPPING (SHORT / MEDIUM / LONG) Lash mapping is the process of drawing a diagram of the areas where you're going to apply lashes.

Pick dolly eye mapping and or a natural mapping to remove the emphasis on the outer corner of the client's eye and improve focus on the inner corner by filling in the inner corners.

HOW DO YOU MAP WISPY EYELASH EXTENSIONS? Start by identifying high spots, which will be where the spikes will be placed. This way, you'll be able to imagine the appearance you want right from the start. If your client doesn't have any special requests, we don't recommend using the same length lashes for all of the spikey tips. Start with an 11-12mm spike for the first one, then move up to 13-14mm for the second one, and finally 16mm for the final one. The highest point of the eye can be in the middle or near the outer corner. ( We do have a FULL ONLINE course on wispy lashes, where we teach you this in-depth ) If you are interested in our Online Wispy Training Course, please click here. The first will widen the eyes, while the second will give it a feathered appearance. Which one you choose is totally determined by the client's preferences and the form of their eyes. So the wispy lashes / Kim K lashes are applied using specific wispy lashes mapping, which gives that wispy, uneven lash line. This type of styling is great for girls that love to wear a lot of makeup and have a very bright outgoing personality. For exceptional events, we recommend the Kim K style / wispy lashes. This look can definitely be adjusted to fit a more low-key personality or lifestyle, by making it a shorter length or making the contrast between the wisps a little less pronounced. This style can also be reproduced in classic as well as hybrid styles for girls that want a more low-key look.

Lashes, Lash Wisps, Velour Lash Adhesive, Eyelash Extension Ballet Slippers Tape and Hydro-gel Under Eye Patches used in this set. To shop, please click here. Although you already have mapping on your tape, I would highly recommend drawing dots on the eyelids, as well. In fact, when you move the tape or remove the patches in the middle of the lash set, your mapping can easily get lost. When you are done with the lash set and start removing the tapes or patches, the dot will still be there to check if everything is symmetrical and even once the client opens her eyes. The tendency of the tapes and patches to move during the procedure of lash extensions makes them not the most reliable place to put the mapping. Since tape and patches stretch, the mapping can easily be ruined. Having a backup system ( drawn dots indicating the mapping ) this system will allow for a helpful way to stick to the original mapping.

The tip to correct the asymmetry, if for example the left eye is visually lowered than the right eye, you can make the lengths on the left eye used for the wisps 2-3 mm longer than the right eye. This will end up correcting the asymmetry and visually lift up the left eye to the same level as the right eye.

WISPY LASH EXTENSIONS CARE Wispy lash extensions necessitate extra attention and are time-consuming to maintain. To ensure that the lashes last longer and are in good condition, gentle care is required. Client retention and lash artist reputation are both dependent on effective aftercare. Hydro-gel Under Eye Patches, Ultra Crystal Bond, Lashes and Lash Wisps used in this set. To shop, please click here. Take care of your wispy lashes. Avoid rubbing or pulling them. Keep the extensions dry for 4 to 6 hours after the lash appointment. All oil-based products should be kept away from the lashes. The oil will cause the adhesive to break down, which will lead to lash extension loss. No lash perming! No saunas, facials, or swimming in the pool within 4-6 hours of lash application. Avoid poking your head into the oven if you're baking. It's capable of burning your extensions! Turn your head away from the oven when putting something in or taking something out. Instead of trying to remove the wispy lashes on your own, book an appointment with your lash artist. After getting wispy eyelashes, brush your lashes on a daily basis. Brushing takes care of the majority of issues. Brush your lashes gently if you see anything improper with them.
