How Many Cluster Lashes Per Eye?

When applying cluster lashes, the number used per eye depends on the desired style and look.

Whether you prefer a classy, voluminous, or natural appearance, selecting the right amount and length of lash clusters can make all the difference.

How many clusters per style?

For each cluster lash style, the number of cluster lashes you should apply per eye varies depending on the lash style you're going for. For a natural look, you should use 1- 4 clusters and 6 -10 for a full lash look. 

Classy cluster lashes

To achieve a sophisticated yet subtle look, you'll want to apply 4-6 clusters per eye. This style adds just enough volume for a more refined, polished appearance.

Volume lash clusters

If you're going for a bolder, more dramatic look, volume lash clusters are perfect. Typically, 6-10 clusters per eye work well to create that high-impact look.

Natural lash clusters

For a more subtle, everyday appearance, 3-5 clusters per eye will give you a natural enhancement without looking overly dramatic. This option is great for a “barely there” effect, making your lashes look fuller without drawing too much attention.

How many cluster lash apply per length?

The length of cluster lashes can also affect how many you should use.

If you're opting for shorter lengths, you may need to apply more clusters to achieve fullness, while longer lengths may require fewer clusters to avoid a heavy or overcrowded look.

How do I know if I’m applying too many cluster lashes?

It's easy to get carried away with applying cluster lashes, but too many can lead to an overly heavy look, cause discomfort, or make the lashes difficult to maintain.

If your lash line feels weighed down or the lashes start to clump together, it’s likely you've applied too many. 

To prevent this, always start with fewer clusters and build gradually until you achieve the desired look.

Keep in mind that each cluster adds volume, so overloading them can diminish the intended style and result in a less flattering finish.

How do I choose the right number of clusters for my eye shape?

Your eye shape plays a significant role in determining how many cluster lashes you should use.

Different eye shapes can benefit from varying lash styles and cluster amounts to accentuate natural beauty. 

• Almond eyes: Almond eyes can handle a variety of lash styles, from natural to dramatic. Apply 5-7 clusters for a balanced look.

• Hooded eyes: Focus on adding more volume to the outer corners of the eyes to open them up. Use 3-5 clusters, with most concentrated at the outer edges.

• Round eyes: Round eyes benefit from more evenly distributed clusters across the lash line. Try using 6-8 clusters to enhance their shape.

• Monolid eyes: For monolid eyes, fewer clusters will help avoid overwhelming the lash line. Aim for 4-6 clusters, concentrating on the middle part of the eye for a lifting effect.
