Are you thinking of having eyelash extensions, but unsure which eyelash extension style will suit you?
There are lots of different eyelash extension styles of lashes out there, which suit different people depending on the shape of your eye and personal preference.
Let's take a look at a brief explanation of some of the most popular styles of eyelash extension to see which one is the best for you:
* NATURAL (KITTEN) :
- These lashes are applied to follow the natural pattern of the lash-line and are usually longer towards the 2/3 point of the eye, enhancing the eyes without changing the shape too drastically.
- YES: This is great for most eye shapes and lash types and great for daily wear. If you’ve never had lashes before or you’re looking to subtly open up your eyes this is a really effective look.
- NO: If you’re after something very noticeable or more dramatic, it’s best to go with a more obvious style.
* DOLL EYE / OPEN EYE:
Doll-eyed style focuses longer lashes towards the middle of your eye and is fantastic to open up your eyes and make them appear bigger.
- YES: This is a versatile style that is effective for most eye types, especially if you have wide-set or down-turned eyes and want to open them up and make them pop!
- NO: If your eyes are very round or protrude, this isn’t as flattering as other styles can be as it can give a surprised, overly round eyed look.
* CAT EYE:
- A feline style uses the longest lashes towards the outside edge of the eyes to give the eyes a longer, exotic look.
- YES: This works really well on people with strong outer lashes and naturally rounder, or close-set eyes to create an almond shape and a longer appearing eye, and making the eyes appear more widely set.
- NO: If your eyes naturally turn downwards or are quite wide set, this may not be the best way to go. If your eye is a little downturned, the longer ends will exaggerate this, so we would apply the longer ones a little closer to the midpoint of the eye to give a ‘lift’.
