Bratz Lash Extension Style Explained

As a lash artist, I’ve worked with so many styles — doll eye, cat eye, wispy, strip lash look, you name it. But something about the Bratz Lash Style hits different. When done right, it brings out something in a client’s face that even they didn’t expect. But when done wrong? It throws off everything.

Here’s the thing: Most artists think Bratz is just about heavy volume and sharp ends. It’s not. If you miss the shape, the balance, or apply it to the wrong eye shape, it’s going to look off.

Let’s talk about what this style really is, what most lash artists skip, and how you can make it one of your signature looks.

What Is the Bratz Lash Style?

Bratz lashes are inspired by the bold, defined eye look of the Bratz dolls. The focus is on a strong, lifted outer corner with a noticeable drop in the middle.

The lashes aren’t soft or blended — they’re bold, structured, and stand out. The base is dark, and the spikes are long and spaced in a way that mimics a cartoon-like strip lash look.

It’s a mix of strip lash styling and a lifted liner effect.

There’s volume. There’s definition. There’s clear shape. But it’s not random — every lash has a place, and when you mess up one section, the whole style loses its effect.

Best Eye Shapes for Bratz Lash Style

Let’s be real: this style is not for every client.

Great for:

• Almond eyes
• Upturned eyes
• Big eyes with space between brow and lash line
• Even lids with strong bone structure

Clients who already have a strong brow game or love bold makeup? They wear this style like it was made for them.

 

Not great for:

• Downturned eyes (it can make the eye look more tired)
• Small, hooded eyes (it closes them off even more)
• Eyes with very deep-set sockets (lashes get lost)

You can always adjust the map — but the true Bratz shape needs space. If you try to force it on someone who doesn’t have the lid or bone structure for it, it just doesn’t land.

 

Why Bratz Style Is Different

A lot of lash styles blend. This one doesn’t.

Lash Style	Main Look	Best Eye Shape
Bratz	Lifted outer corner, dip center, visible spikes	Almond, upturned, wide-set
Doll Eye	Longer in the middle	Round, almond, small
Cat Eye	Short to long from inner to outer	Almond, round, close-set
Wispy	Mix of short and long spikes	Most shapes with balance
Classic	Follows natural lash line	Most natural eye shapes
Anime	Large open base, wide gaps, long spikes	Big eyes, lifted brow space
Wet	Closed fans, pointed tips, spaced look	Almond, small, close-set

 

Bratz is not about a soft transition. It’s about bold sections. The spikes aren’t “messy wispy.” They’re placed. There’s a method behind the spacing. It’s almost like drawing with lashes.

And while other styles focus on enhancing natural shape, this one creates a whole new shape.

 

How to Map Bratz Lash Style (Step-by-Step)

Here’s how I map mine:

1. Draw your baseline

• Middle of the eye: lowest point
• Outer corner: lifted by at least 2–3mm
• Inner corner: short and clean

 

2. Choose lengths

• Inner corner: 8mm–9mm
• Middle: 12mm–13mm
• Outer: 14mm–16mm

Use longer spikes every 2–3 fans to give that strip lash vibe. For example:
8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 14 | 12

 

3. Choose curls

• D curl or L curl is a must
• Never go flat — this style needs lift

 

4. Add spikes first

Mark your spike points on the pad. Isolate them. Then fill around them. This keeps the structure clean and visible.

How to Apply the Bratz Lash Style

Start with your spikes

Use closed fans or single lashes

Place first, then build around them

 

Layer dark bases

Use narrow fans to thicken the lash line

Stay away from wide fans — they blend too much

 

Angle matters

Outers should angle up

Middles should go straight out

Inners should curve slightly down or stay flat

 

Double check both sides

This style is unforgiving if it’s uneven

Can You Add Bottom Lashes with the Bratz Lash Style?

You can add bottom lashes to match the Bratz lash style. It helps make the whole eye shape clear. Since the top lashes have a strong lift and shape, the bottom lashes help keep the eye balanced.

When to Add:

• When the client has lower lashes you can work with

• When they ask for full top and bottom sets

• When taking photos or creating content

 

What to Use:

• Use short lengths (6–8mm)

• Use one-to-one lashes

• Apply with little glue and careful placement

 

How to Apply:

Do bottom lashes after the top is finished. Ask the client to sit up a bit. Use tape or pads to cover the skin. Work slowly, one lash at a time.

Bottom lashes grow in different ways, so isolate them well.

Bratz Lash Aftercare

Clients need to know:

• Don’t brush too much — spikes can shift
• Avoid sleeping on your face — it bends the fans
• Keep lashes dry the first 24–48 hours
• Use oil-free products only

You can give them a mini mirror and tell them to check the angle once a day. That keeps the look sharp.

How to Price Bratz Lash Style

Bratz style takes time. More than a classic set or even a light volume. You’re layering, building spikes, correcting angles.

Set a price higher than your regular volume set.

Example:

• Classic: $120
• Volume: $160
• Bratz: $180–$200

Don’t underprice it. Clients who want this look want it done right. If they know what Bratz lashes are, they know it’s not a rush job.

Make sure to check the pricing in your area. What works in one location might not fit another. Set your price based on your time, product use, and local market.

What About Lash Fills?

Fills are tricky with Bratz style. Spikes grow out fast and lose their shape.

Fills need to be booked sooner.

• Every 2 weeks — max
• Remove old spikes, don’t fill over them
• Rebuild the base first, then spike again

Let your client know up front: this look is high maintenance. But if they love it, they’ll stick to the schedule.

 

Final Thoughts from a Lash Artist

Bratz lash isn’t for every face. It’s not for every artist either. But when you really understand the structure, the shape, and the placement — it becomes something you can be proud of. This style teaches you precision. It forces you to be intentional with every lash you place.

It’s not just about lashes. It’s about how they change the whole eye.

If you haven’t tried this style on the right client yet, you’re missing out on a powerful tool in your lash toolbox.
