Feel free to experiment with various lash lengths and curls to achieve the ideal set for your client. It's common for individuals to fall into multiple categories.
When consulting with your client, assess the most suitable shape to enhance their facial features. Consider asking the following questions:
What is your daily makeup routine?
Is this for everyday wear or a special occasion?
Are you looking for a dramatic or more natural curl/look?
Is your preference for a full “volume” thickness or is length more important?
Do you wear glasses?
Deep Set Eyes
Use longer lengths, soft curl
Downward Turned Eyes
Use C, CC, or D curl and shorter lengths at the outer corner of the eye to 'lift' the eye.
Hooded Eyes
Use longer lengths with a soft curl to disguise the hood.
Close Set Eyes
Soft curl, use longer lengths at the outer part of the eye such as a cat eye to draw the eye outward.
Asian Eyes
Always use volume. Give the appearance of width by adding soft curls at the outer part of the eye. C or CC in the center.
Almond Shape Eyes
Anything goes
Round/Prominent/Bulging Eyes
Shorter lengths, soft curl. Avoid 'lifting' curls like D and L. Wispy set can help balance this eye shape.
Wide Set Eyes
Use stronger curls and put length in the middle of the eye. Avoid a cat-eye look.
** Prior to positioning your client and applying tape, it is crucial to plan out your set. Pro tip: Utilize an eye pencil to outline the shape while your client is seated and facing you. The mapping should be based on the client's pupil, iris, and eyebrows. When mapping with the client lying down and eyes closed, all eyes appear identical. By focusing on their unique features, you can distinguish yourself in the industry.
