Okay, so you’ve decide to get lash extensions…YAY! But what kind? Which style? So many choices!

With new lash trends and styles appearing everywhere, it’s hard to know which ones are best for you. It can get overwhelming and confusing when lash artists are using terminology like “wet lashes”, “baby doll lashes”, “kitten eye”, “mega volume vs volume” and more. Don’t worry, we are here to help you differentiate the different lash styles that are currently all over instagram and which one you might like.

First things first: classic vs hybrid vs volume vs wet/mascara vs mega volume

If you head on over to our lash services page you can see a brief description of what each set is and a photo reference as well (note each set will look different on everyone). Your lifestyle plays a part in the type of lashes you might want to get. If you normally don’t wear makeup or a very minimal amount, classics and hybrids might be more for you. If you tend to wear more makeup and love the drama, then you will fall in love with the mega volume set. No matter which set you get…the style can be customized to your eyes.

Basic lash styles: Doll eye vs Cat eye vs Open eye vs Natural eye

There are so many more different styles, and not all of them have a name because every eye is different but these are the most basic and well known styles. They basically mean where the lashes are the shortest and longest. Doll eye is when the longest length is in the middle of the eye and both inner and outer corners are the shortest. This creates the illusion of a bigger more “dolly” looking eye. Cat eye on the other hand, is when the longest extensions are placed closer to the outer corner, creating a beautiful swoop effect when you open your eyes (kind of like doing a winged liner). Open eye is kind of a combination of both styles, where the longer lengths will extend further than just the middle of the eye and almost to the end of the outer corner before it gets shorter again. This, like the name suggests, really opens up the eye and make it seem bigger, wouldn’t recommend this to someone with already really round eyes as this might make you seem a little “surprised”. a natural eye just follows how your lashes grow, nothing too long, just enhancing the natural lash by making it appear thicker, fuller, curlier and a tad bit longer. This gives off that “I have extensions on but you might think these are my natural lashes”. Perfect for those who are getting extensions for the first time and are afraid of them looking unnatural.
