Complete Guide to Choosing the Perfect Eyelash Extensions

To satisfy the needs of your customers, it is essential to take several factors into account. This article will guide you to offer your clients the desired result, whether it is an intense effect, an elongated look, or a gain in volume.

Step 1: Understand and Visualize the Desired Eyelash Extension Mapping Pose

The first step is to understand and visualize the pose your client wants. This allows you to get as close as possible to their expectations, thus avoiding touch-ups or significant modifications at the end of the session.

It is crucial to remember that each eye shape is unique. Therefore, the result may vary from person to person, even with similar techniques.

Analysis of Natural Eyelash Implantation

Every person has a unique fringe of eyelashes. Observing the placement of your client's eyelashes and analyzing the length, thickness, density, distribution and condition of her natural eyelashes is fundamental.

Knowing these characteristics will help you choose the appropriate lengths and thicknesses of extensions:

• Short and thin eyelashes: Opt for less long and thin extensions.
• Long, thick and full eyelashes: Choose longer and thicker extensions.

Choose the Curvature Based on the Morphology of the Eye

Analyze Eye Shape

To choose the right curvature for your client, it is essential to analyze the shape of her eyes. Here are the different body types:

• Shape: Almond or round.
• Position: Up or down.
• Spacing: Close together or apart.
• Particularity: Globular or sunken.
• Eyelids: Classic or single-eyelids.

Adaptation of the Curvature according to Morphology

Here's how to adapt the curvature of the extensions to the morphology of the eye:

• Almond-shaped eyes: Enlarge the look by placing the longest extensions in the center of the lash fringe.
• Round eyes: Opt for a “doe eye” pose which stretches the eyes.
• Downward-looking eyes and straight eyelashes: Choose L, D, M or LC curls to widen the look.
• Extremely curled or frizzy lashes: Choose curl B or C.
• Slightly curved eyelashes: All curvatures are suitable!

The Different Curvatures of Eyelash Extensions

Here is an overview of the different curvatures available:

• J Curvature: Very straight and easy to work with.
• Curvature B: Slightly curved, for a natural look.
• Curvature C: More curved than B, adaptable to all types of eyelashes.
• D curvature: Glamorous effect with spectacular volume.
• L Curvature: Corrects eye shape, ideal for naturally curled lashes or clients who wear glasses.
