eyelash extensions for different eye shapes

Once you’ve figured out the kind of eyes you’re working with, it’s time to get mapping. The best way to lift these outer corners is by creating a cat-eye effect, with longer extensions at the outer corners and more tapered extensions at the inner corners. You can tell if a client has downturned eyes, by looking at the outer corner of their eyes, which will be angled downwards. Sometimes, clients with downturned eyes can appear sad or tired, even when they are not.

In this case, it’s your job to open those eyes up and take some weight off of that lash line! Using super curly extensions, with the longest placed at the mid to outer part of the eye, you’ll create the illusion that the eyes are fuller and wider. As a result, the lash line can look quite heavy. If a client’s eyes are open, they don’t have a visible eyelid, and they have hooded eyes. From there, you can gradually shorten the eyelashes towards the outer corners of the eye. If your client has almond eyes, avoid applying longer lashes to the outer corner and instead focus on keeping them to about two-thirds of the way along the eye. You can tell if a client has almond eyes if the eyes are longer in width than they are round and if the corners of the eyes taper into a point. Almond-shaped eyesĪlmond-shaped eyes, like Kim Kardashian’s, can really shine with expertly applied eyelash extensions. Using a softer curl will also prevent the eyes from popping too crazily. To soften the eye, by creating a more almond shape, you should apply the longest lash extensions to the outer eye. Clients with rounded eyes will usually appear bright and alert, but a few lash extensions in the wrong places can make them look in a constant state of shock or surprise. Rounded eyesĮyes that are as wide as they are round, or there abouts, are known as rounded eyes. To add shape, you can also apply longer extensions (but not too long) to the outer corners, which will create a cat eye effect and give the client more definition. They are often a ‘feature’ of the face and attract attention because of their boldness.Īs clients with protruding eyes are already gifted with big, wide eyes, the goal of the lash extensions here is to add softness, by working with shorter, straighter extensions. Protruding eyesĪs eye-shapes go, protruding eyes are usually round and on the larger side. For example, if they are growing downwards, CC or D curls will give them the lift they need.

When selecting a curl for close-set eyes, pay special attention to which direction the natural lashes are growing.

This creates a cat-eye effect, which will ‘pull’ the eyes outwards, giving the illusion that they are wider. When working on a client with close-set eyes, you’ll need to place the extensions with the greatest length at the outer corners, or where the eyebrows arch. If the gap between a client’s eyes, is smaller than the width of one eye, then they have, what is known as, close-set eyes. This will create the vision of bigger, open eyes. If you’re working on a client with deep-set eyes, you’ll want to create length right across the eyeline, placing the longest extensions right at the centre. Eyelash extensions are brilliant for drawing deep-set eyes out of the face, giving them the prominence that they may not have had before. Deep-set eyesĭeep-set eyes sit back further within the eye socket. If you decide that your client has wide-set eyes, you’ll want to place longer lash extensions at the centre and fan out gradually in both directions, dropping the length of the lash, as you reach the outer and inner corners. Clients with wide-set eyes have a gap between the eyes that is larger than a single eye’s width.
