Every lash business needs something to attract its audience’s attention faster, so that they can engage with them. This “something” must contain the same effect has the written word, it must be informative and respond to people’s needs, it also should help people relate to a product or service. This is when high-quality images come in and becomes a compelling option. Photos, unlike the written content, are easier to understand, appreciate and share. They’re straightforward and appealing to look at. Nowadays clients can judge your posts after only 2 milliseconds. If a post has long texts everywhere, it will surely not get the views it wants. Your business needs to form the message into a high-quality photo, this way it has a higher chance of being read. If the photo is pleasing to the eye and easy to understand, the audience will read the entire content and eventually purchase your products or book an appointment with you. If you'd like to use high quality images within your business ( created and retouched by a pro photographer ) than you should definitely check these out 👇🏼

Since baby lashes ( anagen ) are still in the growing stage they are shorter and weaker than the fully grown lashes, therefore if you apply too long and thick or extensions to them they won’t be able to handle the weight. Imagine you have your mapping drawn on the eyepatches, you get to the part where you draw the 11mm section but there are a few baby lashes growing from this section.

I know there are a lot of new things to look out for when you just starting out as a new lash artist ( these things will come naturally after a little while trust me ) One of the most important thing when it comes to lashes is 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! The eye is an extremely delicate area and we are holding two super sharp tweezers while trying to attach tiny little extension to the natural lashes.. the last thing we wanna do is to cause any damage to the eye 😣 𝗦𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘆𝗲 𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. An irritation or chemical burn can mirror many of the same symptoms of an allergy. Irritations usually stem from the fumes given off by the adhesive as it solidifies or dries. Individual gas molecules of cyanoacrylate leave the adhesive and can cause red puffy eyes and make the sclera (the white part of your eye) red and itchy. The difference is that irritations usually don’t last longer than 24 hours and should get significantly better as time passes. Here are some quick tips 👉🏼 When you tape your client's lower lashes, make sure not to put the tape too high as this will cause irritation! The same applies to under eye patches, don't place them so high that they stop the eyelid from closing. - Relax your client. Explain the procedure fully and the importance of keeping their eyes closed. Ask them not to have caffeinated drinks; Coffee, Tea, or energy drinks before treatment. These make them fidget and cause rapid eye movement that disturbs the seal. If you offer your client a drink before treatment; make it herbal tea or water. - If the client can't close their eyes properly place a tape horizontally onto their eyelid to weight it down.

If somebody has hooded eyes it means that they have a little extra skin right above the crease of their eyes. This can vary greatly, from a slight almost indistinguishable hood, all the way to an overlapping hood that can sit on top of the lash line. On the illustrations I tried to draw a the hood only on the outer side of the eye, right under the eyebrow arch. When it comes to styling these eye types first we check if the client’s natural lashes are growing downwards, straight or growing upwards. Then we check the length and thickness of them, once we know what are we working with we can then choose the extensions accordingly. ▫️𝘌𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦: Weak & short natural lashes, facing downwards. ▫️𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: Use very light volume fans ( to avoid adding any excess weight to the NL ) in a stronger & longer curl to cover the hooded area. If the client doesn't want volume lashes you can create a wet look effect with closed ligth volume fans, these will still wrap around the natural lash and can last as long as a volume set. ▫️𝘈𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥: Thick ( 0.15+ ) classic lashes with a soft curl ( such as B, C ) as these will make the eye look droopier ( because the natural lashes are facing downwards ) and won’t cover the hooded part of the eye. Also avoid using very strong curls ( such as D, D+ ) in a short length as these will most likely touch the hooded part of the eye when the client opens her eyes.This can cause irritation and discomfort to the client, and they are more likely to rub or touch their eyes to try to easy the irritation. 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 ? The easiest way to map hooded eyes is to use a pen and map on the eyelid. Simply make a few dots on the client’s eyelid in the places where the hooded part is so you can copy this onto the eyepatches when you draw the mapping. You can do it when the client is sitting in front of you, on the same eye level, and she is looking straight at you. Only in this position will you be able to see the parts that needs correction or needs to be covered or lifted.

In order to choose the correct styling for each client and create a bespoke lash mapping, we must first look at our client's eye shape and face structure. Does she have round eyes, downturned eyes or perhaps a closed set of eyes? Does she have a lot of natural lashes to work with or maybe there are some gaps on the last line that we will have to cover? This is one of the reasons why it's important to have a short consultation before the actual appointment so you can assess the client's features and discuss what style would suit her the best and would compliment her natural beauty. In this post, we are going to go through how to identify the difference between narrow, proportional and wide set of eyes. The easiest way to work out whether the client has a proportional, close or wide set of eyes is to look at the distance between the inner corners of the eyes and compare it with the width of the eye. ▫️If the distance between the inner corners are equal to the width of the eye than it's a proportional set of eyes. ▫️ If the distance between the inner corners is wider than the width of the eye, it's a wide set of eyes. ▫️If the distance between the inner corners is smaller than the width of the eye, it's a close set of eyes. Let’s talk a bit about clients who have a wide set of eyes first. For clients with a wide set of eyes our aim is to visually bring the eyes closer to each other to create the illusion of a proportional set. You can achieve this result with two techniques ↴ 1) First always make sure that you choose a suitable styling, it is recommended to use either mirrored squirrel or dolly for this eye shape. Try to avoid cat-eye styling or soft curls ( such as B, C ) and long lengths ( 12mm+ ) in the outer section as this will only make the eyes look wider than they actually are ( this is exactly the opposite of what we want to achieve here ) Once you are ready with the mapping you can draw some little arrows on the eyepatches as well to help you with your direction and placement. Between the middle of the eye and the inner corner, we are going to draw the arrows and place the extensions facing towards the nose at a 70-degree angle instead of using the usual 90 degrees. Between the middle of the eye and the outer corner, we are going to draw the arrows and place the extensions straight facing up at a 90-degree angle. 2) You can also manipulate the look by using different coloured extensions, for example, black lashes in the inner corner of the eyes and fade it towards the outer corner by changing to a dark brown colour from the middle part. By using darker extensions in the inner section you will make the eyes look narrow because the attention is on the inner corner. Hope this makes sense, so black lashes in the inner section and dark brown or chocolate brown lashes in the outer section. To help you visualise better how different styles would look on a wide set of eyes, I’ve created some examples for you. You can see two different styling on these following pictures, one of them is cat-eye and the other one is dolly or open eye. ↴ sinlash eyelash extension styling & mapping techniques I hope this post was helpful to you!
