Wispy Lashes Vs Anime Lashes: Which One Is Better?

Lashes are the new makeup. You've got contouring, highlighter, and now… eyelash extensions? Yep.

Lash artists are in higher demand than ever—for a good reason! There are so many kinds of lash styles out there right now that it can be hard to know what type to suggest to your clients.

When it comes to lash extensions, you know your clients want something that will make them stand out. They want to look like a Kardashian or have wispy lashes, or maybe even an anime character so that you can offer them anime lashes—but how do you achieve these without sacrificing the health of your client's natural lashes?

WISPY LASHES

Wispy lashes are all about creating a naturally dramatic look. They're like your regular lashes but with a bit of an edge. The key feature of wispy lashes is how they mix different lengths, giving a feathery, fluttery appearance. Think of them as a mix of short and long lashes, placed in a way that looks natural yet noticeable.

These lashes are great for clients who want something special but still want to keep things on the subtle side. They add volume and length without going overboard. It's a style that works well for everyday wear or for special occasions where you want to look glamorous without being too flashy.

ANIME LASHES

Anime lashes, also known as Manga lashes, are a bolder choice. They're named after the dramatic lashes often seen in Japanese anime characters.

The main feature of anime lashes is the spikey, individual lash strands. These spikes stand out among shorter lashes, creating a distinct, bold look.

Unlike wispy lashes, anime lashes have more obvious spikes. They create a statement and are perfect for those who love a dramatic, stand-out look. They're not as natural as wispy lashes, but that's the point – they're meant to be noticed.

This is one lash map for an anime set, it simply involves building spikes that are longer and anchoring them with shorter spikes on the side. For example, the longest spike is 10 mm in the inner corners. It is anchored by 2 9 mm spikes on the sides and the 9 mm spikes are anchored with the 8 mm spikes. This creates really intense spikes that are more visible.

The main central spike is always supported by at least 4 supportive spikes to make a chunky pyramid.

Lash direction is incredibly important when working with anime lashes since the spikes all have a place.

The spikes are typically more spaced apart, and there are less of them than in a traditional wispy set, for example, there are 5 spikes in this set, but they are larger and more pronounced.

WHO IS SUITABLE FOR WISPY LASHES?

Wispy lashes are a popular style that can give a fluttery, natural, yet glamorous look. They're not one-size-fits-all, though. Here's who can really rock this style:

Promade Fans, Neon Color Lashes, Ultra Crystal Clear Bond, Incredible Retention Primer and Super Bonder are used in this set. To shop, please click here.

 

 

• Wispy lashes flatter all eye shapes, making them an ideal choice for everyone. 

• Wispy eyelash extensions are popular among clients with monolid, hooded, and almond-shaped eyes because they can create a perfect, wide-eyed look for all occasions. 

• Wispy lashes are also great if your client wants thick, noticeable eyelashes that will give them confidence. You might not think that thick lashes are always flattering, but trust us—this style will make anyone feel like a bombshell!

• You get the perfect combination of natural and dramatic. Wispy lashes are an excellent option for those who want to go from minimal to maxi-dramatic in just a single appointment.

• They're also great for people with sparse lashes that need TLC!

• You can also customize your wispy lash styles, so if your client wants a natural look or something more dramatic, you can give them exactly what they want.

 

WHO IS NOT SUITABLE FOR WISPY LASHES?

Wispy lashes, while versatile, are not for everyone. Here are some considerations:

• If your clients natural lashes are fragile or thin, wispy extensions might be too heavy or look unnatural.

• If your client have chronic dry eyes, blepharitis, or other eye conditions, it's best to avoid any lash extensions, including wispy styles.

• Wispy lashes require regular fills and proper home care. If you're not up for this commitment, another style might be better.

• If your client is frequently swimming, sweating, or rubbing your eyes due to sports or other activities, wispy lashes may not last as long and could be impractical.

• Always do a patch test first. If your client have a history of reactions to adhesives or extension materials, steer clear of any lash extensions.

WHO IS SUITABLE FOR ANIME LASHES?

Are you looking for a way to make your client's eyes look more open, larger, and more beautiful? Are you interested in adding some extra drama to your client's everyday looks? If so, then anime lashes are perfect for them! 

 

• Anime lashes are ideal for those who want to make their eyes appear larger and more open. 

• They can also help to give the appearance of having longer lashes.

• If your client has very sparse lashes, then anime lashes will give them that extra boost of volume without being too dramatic—like if they wanted something more subtle than eyelash extensions. Still, they wanted some length on their natural lashes.

• They're perfect for those with narrow or almond-shaped eyes, but keep that from stopping your client from trying them out if there aren't!

• They're also great for people who love big, bold makeup looks.

 

WHO IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ANIME LASHES?

Anime lashes are the talk of the town in the beauty world, known for their bold and dramatic flair. However, they're not a one-size-fits-all solution. In this post, we'll explore the reasons why anime lashes might not be the best choice for everyone and who should consider alternative lash styles.

• If the natural lashes are weak or damaged, anime lashes might be too heavy and could cause further harm.

• If your client prefer a more natural or minimalist look, anime lashes might be too dramatic for their taste.

• People with very sensitive eyes or allergies might find anime lashes uncomfortable due to their size and the glue used.

• If your client is new to wearing lashes, starting with something less dramatic might be better to get used to the feeling.

• For those who want a lash style that fits daily wear, anime lashes may be too bold for regular, casual settings.

SO, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANIME LASHES AND WISPY LASHES?

1. Style Inspiration and Overall Look:

• Wispy Kim K Lashes: Inspired by the iconic look of celebrity Kim Kardashian, these lashes are known for their wispy, feathered appearance. They typically involve a mix of long and short lashes, creating a naturally full and fluttery look. The style aims to mimic the way natural lashes grow, with a more dramatic flair at the outer corners.

• Anime Lashes: Drawing inspiration from the exaggerated, large eyes of anime characters, anime lashes are all about boldness and drama. They are characterized by their significant length, volume, and often a more pronounced curl. Anime lashes are designed to stand out and make a statement, offering a less natural and more stylized appearance.

 

2. Volume and Length:

• Wispy Kim K Lashes: These lashes offer a moderate to high volume but focus more on creating a textured, multi-dimensional look rather than just density. The varying lengths of lashes contribute to their 'wispy' nature, giving a more natural, eye-enhancing effect.

• Anime Lashes: Anime lashes are typically denser and longer than Wispy Kim K lashes. They are designed to create a striking visual impact, with less emphasis on mimicking natural lash patterns.

 

3. Suitability and Occasion:

• Wispy Kim K Lashes: This style is incredibly versatile and suits a wide range of occasions. Whether you’re client is going for a glamorous night out or just want to elevate your everyday look, Wispy Kim K lashes provide elegance without being over-the-top.

• Anime Lashes: Anime lashes are more suitable for special occasions, themed parties, or creative photoshoots where a dramatic and unique look is desired. They might be too bold for everyday wear, depending on your clients personal style and comfort with dramatic makeup.

 

4. Application Technique:

• Wispy Kim K Lashes: Applying Wispy Kim K lashes requires a detailed and tailored approach, blending different lengths and thicknesses to achieve the desired wispy effect. The technique focuses on creating a natural yet enhanced lash line.

• Anime Lashes: The application of anime lashes involves a more uniform approach with an emphasis on achieving maximum length and volume. This style may require layering multiple extensions and using stronger curls to create the dramatic anime effect.

 

5. Comfort and Maintenance:

• Wispy Kim K Lashes: Due to their more natural style and varied lengths, Wispy Kim K lashes are generally comfortable for long-term wear and require standard maintenance similar to regular lash extensions.

• Anime Lashes: Given their volume and length, anime lashes can feel heavier on the eyes and might require more frequent maintenance. They are a bold choice and may take some getting used to for first-time clients.
