Wanting Less but Still Giving the Most

So, you've pulled the trigger and switched from your full volume 13s to a wispy hybrid set, but when you look in the mirror, you feel your extensions aren't making your eyes pop the way they used to. They're not showing up in photos, and you feel like they're invisible after a little bit of shed. So, how do you embrace the clean-girl aesthetic while still feeling like your lashes are giving you that vibrant fresh face?​

The problem with "natural" lash extension looks

What actually defines your eyes is your lash line. With volume looks, we do this by loading up the lash line with fans, which creates darkness and density at the lash line. However, it's going to create darkenss and density above the lash line as well. Although some clients can rock this look beautifully, many are starting to feel this look is too heavy and are ready for something more natural. The problem is, when we take out the fans to get a more natural look, we lose the darkness of the lash line.

The Solutions

Luckily, there are lots of new trending techniques out there that allow us to enhance the lash line without bombarding your natural lashes with fan & fluff. Here are some of our recommendations:

Winged Half Set

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.

Skyline Volume

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.

Spiked & Wet Lash Looks

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.)

Soft Curls with Short Lengths

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

Anime Half Set

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 with Longer Classics

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