Not you trying to swipe 🤣

We tried to come up with five reasons not to get lash extensions…. and couldn’t think of a single one

Consider this your sign to book that lash appointment

The same map can look completely different from one client to the next.

Here’s how to choose a map based on your client’s eyes →

FIRST, DETERMINE THEIR EYE SHAPE

Before choosing a map, look at the full picture.

Consider their:
Shape • Position • Structure • Size

Eye shape is only the beginning. The goal is to understand what you’re working with before deciding how you want to style it.

UPTURNED vs. DOWNTURNED

Look at where the outer corner sits compared to the inner corner.

Upturned: the outer corner sits higher.
Try: Natural Sweep, Cat Eye, or Open Eye

Downturned: the outer corner sits lower.
Try: Natural Sweep or Cat Eye

Don’t forget: curl choice can completely change the amount of lift you create.

CLOSE SET vs. WIDE SET

Pay attention to the space between the eyes.

Close Set:
Natural Sweep or Cat Eye can help draw the focus outward.

Wide Set:
A Reverse Cat Eye can bring more emphasis toward the inner/center portion of the eye.

It’s all about creating balance.

PROTRUDING vs. DEEP SET

This one is easier to see from the side.

Protruding: the eye sits more forward.
Try: Natural Sweep or Cat Eye

Deep Set: the eye sits farther back beneath the brow bone.
Try: Natural Sweep or Open Eye + a tighter curl

THE 4 CORE MAPS

Natural Sweep: gradual increase for a soft, elongated effect.

Cat Eye: longest lengths toward the outer eye.

Open Eye: longest lengths near the center to visually open the eye.

Reverse Cat Eye: longer lengths shifted toward the inner/center eye.

Knowing the maps is step one. Knowing when to use them is the skill.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

There isn’t one “perfect” map for every client.

Use their shape + position + structure + size to give yourself a starting point, then customize from there.

DON’T JUST MEMORIZE MAPS. LEARN HOW TO CUSTOMIZE THEM.

A great lash artist doesn’t just know what map to use, they understand why they’re using it.

Natural lashes, growth direction, curl, length, eye anatomy, and your client’s desired result all matter.

If she opens her eyes and they don’t look like she has expensive taste, i’m not done yet

Clean bases. Intentional styling. Perfect direction. The little things are the whole thing.

Once you realize retention isn’t some mysterious gift that certain lash artists are born with… you’ll never hear the end of it from us

It can be learned. It can be troubleshot. And yes, we’re going to keep talking about it.

Your books are full but your bank account is asking questions 😭

Being booked ≠ being profitable. Charge for your time, talent, products, education AND the business you’ve built.

Lash artists deserve to make actual money. Period.

The answer to bad retention is almost never “more adhesive” 😭

Before blaming your adhesive, look at your attachment, placement, timing, environment + prep.

Retention is a system, not a bigger glue dot.

Good lash work deserves good content 👏🏼 Here’s how to make your lash photos look more elevated, intentional + professional, without buying a new camera.

You can have the prettiest set in the world and bad lighting will still do it dirty 😭 Good, even lighting makes the lashes look sharper, shows the details of your work + instantly elevates the photo.

Don’t make people search for the subject of your photo. A tighter, intentional crop immediately makes your content feel more polished + keeps the attention exactly where you want it: on the lashes.

Not every finished set needs the same laying-down photo. Sit your client up, change the background, get a full-face shot or create something that feels more like beauty content. Variety makes your page WAY more interesting.

Too dark and you lose the details. Too bright and you wash everything out. Before you take the photo, tap your subject and adjust your exposure until the lashes + skin both look clear and natural.

Your photos don’t all need to look the same, they just need to look like they belong to the same brand. Consistent lighting, editing + overall vibe can make your entire feed feel more intentional.

Your content doesn’t have to be just a picture of lashes. Add your tweezers, products, lash trays, phone or other elements to create a photo someone actually wants to stop and look at.

You already put hours into perfecting your sets, give yourself content that actually shows them off. Save this for your next content day + send it to your lash bestie who needs it 🤍
