Almond-shaped eyes are considered to be one of the most versatile eye shapes, making it easier to create different eye styles with eyelash extensions. Choosing the right eyelash extension style for almond-shaped eyes can be a little tricky, but with the right knowledge and expertise, you can create the perfect look for your client. Here are some of the best eyelash extension styles that suit almond-shaped eyes.
Cat Eye Mapping For Almond Shaped Eyes
The first step in finding the right eyelash extension for almond shaped eyes is to identify your eye shape by “cat eye mapping”. To do this, look at yourself in the mirror and observe where your lashes naturally fall along your upper lid line. If you have a small curve at the outer corners, then you have almond-shaped eyes. The natural lash line should be curved like an upside down U-shape with a slight flare outwards at the outer corners. This type of eye shape is perfect for cat-eye style lash extensions which will create an elongated look with added definition and drama around the edges.
Doll Eye Mapping For Almond Shaped Eyes
Another way to find out what type of lash extensions would work best for almond shaped eyes is through doll eye mapping – this method focuses more on measuring than observing the natural lash line itself but it can still provide valuable insight into what kind of lash set would look good on someone with this particular eye shape. To measure, use a ruler from corner to corner along each side and if they measure equal then you likely have round or monolid eyes rather than almond-shaped ones (which usually measure slightly longer across one side). Once it has been determined that you do indeed have almond-shaped eyes, doll eye mapping can help further narrow down which type of lash set would look most flattering based off measurements such as length between inner/outer corners and height from bottom/top lashes etc.. The ideal doll eyed set for those with this particular eye shape should be relatively short but still long enough so that when applied correctly it creates an open yet defined look around both sides without being too overpowering or obvious from far away distances (think wispy vs full glam).
Best Lash Extensions For Almond Shaped Eyes
Now that we know what kind of curl pattern works best with our particular type of eyeball anatomy (i.e., cat/doll eyed), we need to decide which material or texture suits us most: synthetic vs mink vs silk etc.. Synthetic lashes tend to be thicker than other materials which makes them great for those who want extra volume while mink fibers give off a softer appearance due to their thinner nature – so if subtlety is key then these may be better suited towards achieving desired results without going overboard! Silk also falls somewhere in between these two options; they offer medium thickness and come preloaded onto strips so application times tend to go much faster compared when using other types (although keep in mind that individual clusters require additional skill levels since each strand must individually placed into place). Finally – don’t forget about curl strength! Depending on how dramatic/naturalistic clients want their finished looks may depend upon whether they choose J curls (for less visible styles) or C curls (for more voluminous styles). All three materials offer various sizes ranging from 8mm up until 18mm depending upon desired effects + lengths etc…
Applying Eyelash Extensions On Almond Shaped Eyes
When applying eyelash extensions on almond-shaped eyes, it is important to choose the right length and curl of the extensions. The extensions should be longer in the center and shorter on the inner and outer corners to complement the shape of the eye. It is also important to isolate each natural lash and apply the extensions individually for an even and natural look. Focusing on adding more extensions to the outer corners can create a cat-eye effect, which is popular among those with almond-shaped eyes. Proper aftercare is crucial to maintain the fullness and length of the lashes. With the right technique and aftercare, eyelash extensions can create a beautiful and natural look for those with almond-shaped eyes.
