Expert Tips For Creating The Perfect Doll Eye Lash Map

The proper lash mapping is essential whether your client is getting a full set of lashes or just adding some extra length to their natural lashes. When applying lash extensions, we can use different types of "maps".

A doll eye lash map is a popular choice because it can make your client's eyes look larger and more doll-like. The inner corners of the eyes also get lashes, which help open up the eyes and make them appear brighter and fuller.

WHAT IS A DOLL EYE LASH MAP?

Lash mapping is a technique used in lash extensions to identify the optimal placement of lashes. The extensions must be placed in the right spots because if they aren't, they will look unnatural and potentially uneven.

This idea of a doll eye lash map uses shorter lashes on the inner corners, longer in the middle and shorter lashes on the outer corners.

Doll eyelash extensions create a doll-like appearance, accentuating the natural beauty to make your clients feel charming and attractive. This style complements monolid, hooded and almond eyes, opening up the face and creating a really flattering look.

To create this look with your lash extension application, you need to use multiple different sizes of lashes when applying them onto the natural lash line. This means you will need short and long lengths to achieve this lash look.

WHY LASH MAPPING IS IMPORTANT?

Avoiding Lash Mapping Errors:

• Mapping is essential for different eye shapes to avoid emphasizing unflattering features.
• This illustration shows the importance of proper mapping for a client with downturned eyes.

Right Eye (Incorrect Mapping):

• Used squirrel mapping (longer lashes on the inner and outer corners).
• Lash lengths: 8-15mm D curl.
• Result: The downturned eyes became more emphasized, creating a droopy or "sad puppy" look

.

Left Eye (Correct Mapping):

• Used doll eye mapping (focuses on the middle of the eye).
• Lash lengths: 7-12mm.
• Result: The mapping lifted the eye, improving the appearance of the drooping outer corners by adding more volume to the center of the eye.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CAT EYE, DOLL EYE AND NATURAL EYE?

Cat Eye Map

• Short on the inner corner, longer on the outer corner.

• Best for clients with round eyes as it levels out the contour and adds a seductive look.

• Avoid for clients with upturned or downturned eyes, as it can make their eyes appear smaller and accentuate the downturned outer corners.

 

Doll Eye Map

• Short on the inner corner, longer in the middle, shorter on the outer corner.

• Creates an open-eyed, brightened effect.

• Ideal for monolid, hooded, and almond-shaped eyes.

 

Natural Eye Map

• Lash extensions are designed to match the client's natural lashes, with the longest lashes reaching the brow arch.

• Suitable for all clients, offering a subtle, natural look.

• Not the choice for clients looking for a more dramatic, voluminous effect.

 

 

Cat Mapping:  Use the longest lashes towards the outside edge of the lashes to create the illusion of wide-set "exotic" eyes. If your client has Almond, close-set eyes, this is an appropriate choice for this client. 

Doll: Applying lash extensions in the same direction as the natural lashes will give you fuller, longer-looking lashes while keeping the natural eyelash pattern. Almond and Upturned Eyes will work perfectly with this mapping.

Squirrel: To achieve this look, start short and gradually lengthen, with the halfway point being the most extended length, before shortening progressively again.

WHO IS SUITABLE FOR DOLL EYE MAPPING?

Doll eye lashes are ideal for clients who have smaller eyes, as the lashes will give the illusion of a wider eye.

Doll eyes also work well for those with very fine or sparse lashes as they add volume and length without weighing down the client's natural lashes.

Client with almond-shaped eyes: a doll eye look will make their eyes appear more prominent, but if the eyes are close together, avoid this lash style as it may make the eyes seem excessively enormous.

 

Client with hooded eyes or monolids: this lash style is perfect for this type of eyes. It will keep them looking lifted and open.

 

Client with wide-set eyes: doll eyes extensions make their eyes appear larger.

 

 

 

Contraindications with doll eye mapping

Clients with really round eyes are not the best candidates for the doll eye mapping, since this map style can emphasize the round shape.

Clients with eyes really close together are not ideal candidates, since it can also emphasize the closeness of the client's eyes.

Clients who like a really natural look may also not be the most ideal candidates for this lash map, since it can be on the dramatic side, and is more appropriate for clients that love a very full and dramatic look, especially with volume and mega volume styles. * A doll map classic set, in shorter lengths can still look fairly natural with this type of lash map.

HOW TO CREATE A DOLL EYE LASH MAP?

Doll eyelashes are a popular choice for lash extensions. This look is very natural and soft but still very glamorous.

The doll eyelash map aims to make sure the natural lashes have a uniform appearance and the look of having a doll eye putting the most amount of emphasis in the middle of the eye.

 

STEP #1 

Create 5 sections. Eyelash extensions come in various lengths in each section. You can use the eye patches to map out your set. (Shorter lengths on the inner, longer lengths on the middle and shorter lengths on the outer)

 

STEP #2

Start from the inner corner of your client's eye and use the shorter extensions to fill in the space.

The extensions will gradually lengthen until they reach the center of the eye. (You can use 8 to 12mm lengths). 
If your client wants longer lashes, you can use longer lengths or shorter lengths if your client wants a more natural set.

 

STEP #3

The final section is essential for a clean lash set. You can use the same lash lengths as in the inner corner. The transition should be seamless, so the lash line appears completely natural.
