Discover how to create the perfect lash map for every client’s eyes. Belo Lash has the tools you need to create a customised look for individual styles.
Mastering the art of lash mapping is an essential skill for any lash artist who wants to create personalised, flattering extensions using Belo Lash’s extensive collection of lashes.
Lash mapping is actually what it sounds like—creating a carefully designed customised lash pattern that complements the client’s eye shape and facial features to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.
Understanding Eye Shapes and Desired Outcomes
The first step to successful lash mapping is assessing the client’s eye shape and understanding their goals. Common eye shapes include almond, round, hooded, and downturned. Each shape requires a different approach to enhance the eyes naturally. A round eye may benefit from a lengthening effect, while a hooded eye requires strategic placement to create a more open aesthetic.
Equally important is the consultation. Asking your client about their lifestyle, preferences, and desired look will guide your mapping process.
Lash Mapping Techniques
Once you’ve determined your client’s eye shape and preferences, you can use various mapping techniques to create the perfect lash set.
Below are some popular mapping styles, along with tips for achieving a wide range of lash designs with the help of Belo Lash’s versatile toolkit:
Doll Eye
This technique is ideal for clients who want their eyes to appear larger and more open. It places the longest lashes in the center of the lash line, tapering shorter toward the inner and outer corners. The Doll Eye is particularly flattering for almond-shaped eyes or creating a doe-eyed effect.
Cat Eye
This classic, sophisticated look elongates the eyes by placing longer lashes on the outer corners, creating a winged, sultry appearance ideal for round or downturned eyes. Precision is key with the Cat Eye, as improper placement can make the eyes look droopy.
Natural Eye
The Natural Eye technique follows the client’s natural lash growth for a more subtle, everyday look. The longest lashes are applied slightly off-center, blending seamlessly with shorter lashes toward the inner and outer corners. This approach works well for all eye shapes and is a go-to for clients wanting a polished yet understated look.
Open Eye
Designed for hooded or monolid eyes, the Open Eye technique involves placing the longest lashes directly above the iris. This mapping style helps create the illusion of wider, more open eyes, counteracting the appearance of heavy lids.
Map Your Way To Customised Lash Extensions
Lash mapping is an art that every lash artist can learn. By mastering these skills, consulting with your client, and using high-quality products, you can create tailored, stunning looks that enhance your client’s natural beauty.
