CHECK THE CLIENT'S NATURAL LASHES

If you notice any gaps on your client's lashes or if they appear fragile, weak, or even damaged from the previous set they had before coming to you, these could all be signs that you should advise a different kind of set or option.

However, if you see that they have thick natural lashes, few gaps, or many layers, they are a perfect candidate that you can use to get that fuller look.

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER PUTTING THE UNDER EYE PATCHES

Make sure you get this right and redo it if necessary until the client is comfortable and everything looks good. This part is essential because we want to ensure that the client's lashes can sit nicely so that they are adequately exposed, and we can see all of the natural lashes. If not, you'll struggle with the eye pad and the tape the entire session.

YOU CAN USE DIFFERENT DIAMETER

If necessary, you can use lashes of varying diameters, whether thinner or thicker. Still, if you can apply lashes to every single natural lash, that is what will be able to give you the fullness and dense look when using classic lashes.

Look at the length and thickness of the natural lashes to determine the best diameter to use. If you're looking at the inner corner, that area will be the weakest or thinnest, so you should use a very light lash extension.

However, when you get to the middle of the eye, those will be the longest or thickest natural lashes, so you can use a heavier 0.18 lash that can hold that.

MAKE SURE TO ASK YOUR CLIENT IF THEY WANT SOMETHING DRAMATIC OR A NATURAL SET

Ask whether they like something long and dramatic or something natural and simple. If you maintain the lashes a little shorter, you'll have a better idea of the style they want and how long to make them. It would help if you also noted how long their natural lashes are.

Remember that these lashes are very heavy; therefore, measure each lash extension to the natural lash to ensure that it is something the client can carry. Don't just assume that each client can handle a 15 or 16 length if they want something long.

There are many kinds of classic lashes available, with sizes ranging from 0.15 to.20. A .20 is the heaviest, thickest, and darkest lash you can use. However, you must choose the correct natural lash to attach these diameters; if it is something thinner, use a.15; if it is something longer or thicker.

If you prefer a darker, thicker look, you can use something denser, like a 0.18 or even a 0.20, but be careful to accurately measure each lash's diameter.

LASH BACK AND FORTH

I frequently jump from eye to eye when lashing to achieve a fuller, bolder look. However, when applying classic lashes, I want to ensure that the glue has enough time to dry and that nothing is lashed too closely to or right next to it so that the glue and lashes do not adhere to one another. Using too much adhesive or lashing too quickly will cause all of your extensions to get tangled and create a messy situation or a poor classic set.

When applying the lash extensions, don't be afraid to use the sides or the bottom of the lash wherever it will be easiest to attach that lash extension. For example, if you notice that some lashes are gearing to the left, try attaching the extension a little more to the right, or if the lash is pointed upwards, go ahead and try an upwards bond. Place it wherever it will be more convenient for you to do so. Just make sure the base is in contact with the natural lash.

 

TIP: Don't be afraid to use a short lash extension because they're thinner or shorter. It looks much darker and makes the set more complete if you have them done rather than just leaving them bare. Make sure that these inner corners are full and every lash is lashed.

ISOLATE THE LASHES PROPERLY

Take time isolating each lash; don't be afraid to take more time if necessary. You must do this since you don't want any tiny hairs or extensions to get caught and cause that set to look hazy and unkempt.

Again, don't be afraid to utilize your tape fully. If you need to make the lid stretch in a particular way to expose specific lashes, go ahead and make the necessary adjustments. You don't want to struggle with the lashes to get something to show; it's much simpler to let the tape handle the situation for you.

To achieve the desired darker eye look, line up thicker diameters near one another. To do this effectively, use your taping up techniques once more. Please ensure clean isolation before picking up the lash, dipping it in glue, and placing it directly on the top, bottom, or the side of the lash. Try to expose as many bottom-layer lashes as you can using this method.

Always remember which area of the eye you are working on, whether it be the corner, the middle, or the outer edges, again determining how thick the natural lashes are.

Outer corners will be very similar to what you did to the inner corners—taped the lid with a thin piece of tape. And used it to pull the corner back just a little so that the lashes clumped in the corner may be more freely seen.

The tricky part, in my opinion, or the part you have to get used to, is deciding which way you want to pull that tape. For example, if you're going to pull it horizontally, you can see the outer ones exposing a little bit more if you do it that way.

WHAT IS THE BEST THICKNESS FOR CLASSIC LASHES?

As lash artists, our canvas is the eye, and our paints are the lashes we choose. Understanding the nuances of lash thickness is crucial to crafting the perfect look for our clients. Here's a straightforward breakdown:

Classic Lashes:

• 0.12mm: Ideal for a 'barely-there' enhancement. It’s perfect for clients with fine lashes that can’t bear much weight. They add a touch of fullness, making them suitable for everyday wear.
• 0.15mm: This is a step up for those who want a bit more definition. They’re still natural but give the eyes a slightly more pronounced look.
• 0.18mm: Reserved for those with strong natural lashes who want to make a statement. It’s the thickest I’d go for a classic set to maintain a healthy lash line.

 

Volume Lashes:

• 0.03mm in 16D: This is for a full-on dramatic look, without the heaviness. It allows us to create a lush fan that's as light as a feather.
• 0.05mm in 8D and 10D: These are for a voluminous look with a bit more body, yet still light enough to not weigh down the natural lash.
• 0.07mm in 3D, 4D, and 6D: These provide a fluffy volume that's more noticeable than classic lashes, yet still maintains a soft feel.

As a lash artist, it's our job to assess the natural lash strength and decide on the best thickness to use. It’s like building a house; you wouldn’t put heavy tiles on a weak structure. Similarly, heavy lashes on a delicate lash line is a no-go.

For example, when a client with fine lashes wants the volume of a 0.18mm classic, I’d steer them towards a 6D fan of 0.07mm lashes instead. It gives volume without the damage.

 

TIP: Selecting the correct lash thickness isn't just about the look—it's about lash health and sustainability. It’s about creating beauty that lasts.

CONCLUSION

Mix curls, thickness, and lengths throughout the lash set to add texture and the appearance of fuller, darker sets. The set will appear dark and fuller if you decrease the length between each normal extension you apply, mainly through the center of the eye.

Ensure that you apply every lash. And fill them in as much as you can, and pay attention to the inner corners, which will also complete your set.
