How to choose the correct lash for your client's eye shape and lash thickness

Important to remember - the length and hair strength of the client's  natural lashes should be considered before choosing the weight and  length of their lash extensions. It is recommended that lashes are  only extended to 3mm past the end of the length of the natural lash  - this is because a longer lash could weigh down the natural lash and  cause it to prematurely fall out. Almond Eyes - Most of the iris is visible when the clients eyes are  open normally. Short lashes should be applied inner eye, medium  lashes middle of eye, longer lashes towards outer edge of eye. You  can use all the curls on almond eyes but if your client has straight  lashes try to give them a nice curl. Deep Set Eyes - The brow bone protrudes significantly. I always use  lashes that are longer than normal to account for the distance of  depth. J and C curl work best on these eyes. Round/Protruding Eyes - short lashes should be used with some  longer onces on outer edge of eye. You can use lashes of any  curls: J,B,C,D from 5mm~15mm, thickness and length of eyelash  would be depending on client's natural eyelash shape and thickness. Fine natural Lashes - apply equally fine lash extensions to avoid  over-weighing the natural lash. I would say that 0.15 mm thickness  of any curl is the most popular for natural looking lashes. Strong Lashes - this lash type will support any weight of lash  - fine (0.15mm thickness), thick (0.20mm thickness) and extra  thick (0.25mm thickness). Shape of ELE would vary depending  on client's shape of natural lashes. Length of lashes can be from  5mm~15mm. Naturally very curled - a shorter ELE should be used to provide the  maximum bonding area or D-curl lash would be the perfect solution  for this type of lash, but keep in mind you should only use D curl if  you are experienced as the bonding is quite tricky. Lash Flicks - 10-30 lashes are placed intermittently along the lash  line, concentrating lashes at the outer corner and in some cases  using longer lashes at at the outer corner to give a flick effect. Colour eyelashes are in fashion to use in outer corner to give a flick  and different colour glamorous effect. I apply ELE to the outer third  of the eye when using colours to highlight. If you client wants all  coloured then get creative and go the entire lash line. Lashes for the older client - Apply lashes that are not too long  5mm~10mm and always use a fine lash (0.10mm, or mix 0.10mm  with 0.15mm). Do not overload the lashes - it is sometimes better  to just apply half a set. Using C curls will really help to open up the  eyes - if the client has heavy lidded eyes you can also use longer  lashes to make sure that the tip of the ELE reaches above the  heaviest  fold of skin - this helps to create a bright eyed look. Fine lashes give the effect of a natural look, as they are lightweight  they tend to be the choice of clients who want to keep the lashes  on a long-term basis. Use 0.15mm or mix 0.15mm with 0.20mm  thickness. Thick lashes give the effect of mascara. Use 0.20mm lash extensions  thickness. Extra thick lashes can be used on clients who have strong natural  lashes. Generally, extra thick lashes are used for special occasions  when they look really stunning even on photo shoot! Use 0.25mm  lash extensions thickness.
