I became a DIY lash girle about 4 years ago now, and, trust me, it took a little trial and error to figure out what worked best for me. So in this beginner’s guide, I’m spilling my tips to help you find your perfect lash match and nail your DIY lash application in no time.
Here are my top tips!
Eyeshape
Understanding your eye shape is very important to finding your perfect lash match. Click here to see our guide on determining your eyeshape.
The curls
A C curl is a flatter & more natural curl
A D curl is more lifted so it can be seen as more dramatic, however with a wispy lash it can be very subtle and pretty.
Lengths
3 different lengths is normal to have on one eye. This is how you are going to be able to tailor your lash to create different effects.
3 neighboring lengths from the following are most popular
- 8mm
- 10mm
- 12mm
- 14mm
- 16mm
Wearing the same length across your entire eye is a missed opportunity to open your eyes and create balance
The effects
Now you know your eye type, you have seen you either suit a doll, fox or wing eye effect. Check out our mapping guides to help you create these different effects:
Mix length vs the same
A segment will either be made up of lash fibres all the same length or mixed lengths. A same length segment will give you a denser look while a mixed length segment will give you a wispier look
