Lash mapping tailors lash placement to the wearer's eye shape. This technique involves varying lash lengths and curls to create flattering effects.
For almond eyes, evenly distributed lashes enhance symmetry. Round eyes benefit from cat-eye designs with longer outer lashes. Mapping ensures lashes complement natural features and provide a balanced appearance.
How does lash mapping differ for almond, round, and hooded eyes?
- Almond Eyes: Characterized by their symmetry and slight upward tilt, almond eyes are versatile and can accommodate various styles. A cat-eye mapping, with shorter lashes in the inner corner gradually increasing in length towards the outer corner, accentuates their natural shape.
- Round Eyes: Round eyes appear more open and can benefit from a doll-eye mapping, where longer lashes are placed at the center of the eye to enhance openness, and shorter lashes at the corners to maintain balance.
- Hooded Eyes: Hooded eyes have a pronounced brow bone and a crease that may cover part of the lid. A natural or open-eye mapping, utilizing consistent lash lengths with a slight increase towards the center, can create the illusion of lifted, more open eyes.
Can lash mapping correct asymmetrical eyes?
Lash mapping can address asymmetry by customizing lash lengths and curls to balance the appearance of both eyes. For instance, applying slightly longer or curlier lashes to a smaller or drooping eye can create the illusion of symmetry, resulting in a more balanced and harmonious look.
Is lash mapping suitable for clients with monolid or deep-set eyes?
Absolutely. For monolid eyes, which lack a distinct crease, a gradual increase in lash length from the inner to outer corners can add dimension. Deep-set eyes, set deeper into the skull, benefit from longer and curlier lashes to bring the eyes forward, enhancing their prominence.
