Handmade fans were first to arrive on the scene.  With this method, the artist will create the fan by shimmying their tweezers so the lashes splay out evenly.  This type of fan is the most customizable.  The amount of lashes per fan, curl types, weight of lash extensions, and how narrow or wide to make the fan all play a part in determining the desired look.  It is the most cost effective, but the on the downside, it is also the most time consuming.

Also known as: bundles, wet lashes, or spikes.  For this technique, we use the same lashes we do for our handmade fans, but instead of splaying them out, we create closed bundles that poke straight up.  

​Types of looks:  The styles on our menu that use closed fans are our Spiky Half Set, Wet Lash, Spiked Hybrid, and Spiked Volume.

Recommended for:

• Clients who like dimension and a wispy look
• Clients who want length, but don't have strong natural lashes to support it
• Clients who want a defined lash line

​Not recommended for:

• Clients who want density over length
• Clients who want an ultra natural look

This set uses soft curls focused on the outer corner to give you a "liner" look."  Not every lash is lashed, but the placement of those that are make the ultimate winged look.

We're still using fans to define that lash line, but each fan has varying lengths.  Since not all extensions are reaching max length, you get much softer looking volume.

Spikes or "closed-fans" can be used to create a ton of different looks.  A spike mimics a classic lash, but with better definition, texture, and retention.  To get a more natural but defined look, try spiked hybrid or wet lash (pictured.)

Going shorter and softer places the bulk on the lash line by concentrating the lashes to one area.

We use a new lash style called "laser cut" to create this look.  These fans allow us to create the perfect anime spikes!

Hybrid boost are premade so we can get more fans on to enhance your lash line.  Longer classics add wispiness and texture.

Clients ask us all the time if their lash serum is ok to use with extensions. And the answer is 🤷‍♀️ We don’t know those products or what the manufacturers had in mind when they developed them. But we do know Borboleta’s; each ingredient was carefully selected as to not disrupt the lash extensions or break down the adhesive as other products may.

1) Use a serum. IMO, and from looking at lashes all day, everyday, Borboleta Beauty's 𝐿𝑎𝑠ℎ 𝑆𝑒𝑟𝑢𝑚 is the best on the market from their price-point as well as the formulation.

2) You will see your max results of a serum kick in around 6-8 weeks. This is the perfect time to ditch your eyelash curler and get a 𝐿𝑎𝑠ℎ 𝐿𝑖𝑓𝑡 & 𝑇𝑖𝑛𝑡!

3) Since a lash lift chemically treats the eyelashes, it’s important to use a conditioner. I use Thuya 𝑅𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑚 every night on my lashes.

4) Make them POP! Tints are great, but if you want additional length and fullness, you’ll want to apply a mascara. Use one that’s formulated for lash lifts that will add additional nutrients and keep your lashes at their best! We recommend Elleebana 𝐸𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑒𝑣𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝐵𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑎 and it’s fabulous.

5) Tightline your eyeliner (just YouTube if you're not sure about this.)  This will give the same illusion as that dark lash line that extensions give.  I prefer to use a black or dark brown powder for mine.  I recommend Billion Dollar Brows.  I use their Brow Powder in Raven and love their eyebrow brush for applying it.  It's a little thicker than traditional angle brushes but adds the perfect amount of powder for me.

6) Keep your lashes CLEAN! Just because you no longer have to listen to your lash artist harassing you about cleaning your extensions doesn’t mean you can neglect your lash hygiene! Makeup, serums, and natural oils can build up, cause sties, bacteria growth, and even cause your lash growth cycle to hibernate and stop lash growth! Keep those babies clean with Borboleta Beauty’s cleansing system: 𝐿𝑎𝑠ℎ 𝐵𝑎𝑡ℎ, 𝐵𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘 𝐷𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑀𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑢𝑝 𝑅𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟, & 𝐶𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑆𝑤𝑜𝑜𝑝 𝐵𝑟𝑢𝑠ℎ.

There you have it! The perfect lash routine for the lash obsessed!
